Lionel Richie Says He’s ‘Pumped’ as Daughter Sofia Richie Expects Baby No. 1


Lionel Richie said that he’s ‘pumped’ as his daughter Sofia Richie expects baby No. 1 with husband Elliot Grainge and predicted she’ll be a ‘fantastic’ mom.

The American Idol judge is already the proud grandfather to daughter Nicole Richie ’s two teenage children, Harlow, 16, and Sparrow, 14, whom she shares with husband Joel Madden. Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for Baby2BabySofia and Elliot planned to attend an Ed Sheeran concert one night after she returned to Los Angeles, so she took a pregnancy test when her period was late because she expected the show to be a boozy evening. “I was so used to seeing negatives that I knew when something looked even kind of different,” she said about the pregnancy test, noting that they had been casually trying to conceive since they tied the knot in April 2023.
