Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge Respond to Marriage Comments
Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge addressed “mean” commentary regarding their marriage with humor, embracing a lighthearted approach. The couple, navigating the spotlight, shared a TikTok video earlier this month that poked fun at speculative remarks about their relationship, proving their strong bond.
Addressing Speculation with Humor
In the TikTok video, Richie, 26, filmed Grainge’s, 31, reaction as he read various disparaging statements about their union.
- “That? Cheating on her?” Grainge read aloud, responding with a facetious, “What am I, Shrek?”
- Richie and Grainge laughed, then mocked another comment stating, “She should divorce him and take his child support money.”
A Glimpse Into Their Relationship
Richie’s caption clarified the video was created in good fun, stating, “I had to break it to my husband that he’s not the peoples princess.”
Despite outside opinions, Richie and Grainge, parents to 12-month-old Eloise, remain unbothered, often sharing glimpses into their dynamic on social media since they started dating in 2021.
Initially, the pair were friends.
From Friends to Couple
An insider told Us Weekly in April 2021, “They started as friends before becoming a couple and are now serious. Their relationship has taken off, gotten closer, and they practically spend every day together.”
The Road to Marriage
Following one year of dating, Richie and Grainge got engaged and married in April 2023. Sofia’s father, Lionel Richie, shared insights into how Grainge formally requested his blessing before proposing.
“He was a nervous wreck, poor guy,” Lionel, 75, jested to Access Hollywood in April 2022. “I thought he was going to pass out, but he survived it. I was going to rib him a little bit, but I didn’t want to play, he was going to faint.”
Lionel added he has known his son-in-law since Grainge was 12. “It’s one of those things where I don’t need to check out the kid, I know who he is,” he explained. “They’re so happy. As a papa and a dad, that’s my little girl, and she’s in good hands.”
Motherhood and Beyond
After their wedding, Sofia and Grainge welcomed their daughter, Eloise, in May 2024.
“My life makes sense now,” Sofia shared about motherhood during a November 2024 episode of the “Therapuss” podcast. “I’ve never loved anything more in my life. I’m obsessed with her, she’s perfect. And I’ve lost 50 pounds.”
Discussing her pregnancy, Sofia shared, “It was beautiful. I always tell my friends it got crazy, but I was always empowered to do it.”
