Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge are overjoyed to announce the arrival of their baby girl, Eloise Samantha Grainge, born on Monday, May 20. The couple shared their happiness with the world through a heartwarming Instagram post, featuring a black-and-white photo of them holding their newborn’s tiny feet.
Richie, 25, captioned the touching image with, “Eloise Samantha Grainge 05.20.24 best day of my life.” Grainge, 30, echoed his sentiments in the comments section, writing, “Now it really is a family of three.” The intimate snapshot and heartfelt captions have since melted hearts across social media, drawing congratulatory messages from numerous celebrities.
Kylie Jenner commented with a series of smiling face emojis with hearts, while Katy Perry hailed Richie as “Our QUEEN.” Joel Madden, the lead vocalist of Good Charlotte and husband of Sofia’s sister Nicole Richie, added, “The star of the family.” Emily in Paris star Lily Collins wrote “Omg what a name!! So excited for you guys.”
The name the couple chose for their daughter is special to the pair as Eloise’s middle name pays homage to her late grandmother. Elliot’s mother, Samantha Berg, suffered complications during his birth in 1993. She fell into a coma after an amniotic fluid embolism and did not survive.
Fans and followers have eagerly tracked the couple’s journey to parenthood. In January, Richie first revealed her pregnancy in an exclusive interview and photoshoot with Vogue. She recounted discovering her pregnancy sharing that she suspected she was expecting just before attending an Ed Sheeran concert with Grainge. After the initial positive test, Richie had Grainge buy three more tests to confirm the joyous news.
Richie and Grainge went public with their relationship on Instagram in April 2021 and exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony in the South of France in April 2023. Although they are both public figures, they have managed to keep their relationship relatively private. The birth of their beautiful daughter Eloise Samantha Grainge has brought immense joy to the couple. Reflecting on her new role as a mother, Richie shared on Instagram, “Best day of my life.” In her Vogue interview, she expressed that she has learned more in the past six months than ever before and hopes to let her daughter decide whether to live a public or private life.
The couple had celebrated their first wedding anniversary just last month, with Richie sharing a heartfelt post to her husband, saying, “I want to marry you a million times over again.” In early May, Richie posted a photo celebrating her pregnancy, captioning it “[Nine] months of bliss.”
As Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge step into this new chapter of their lives, the arrival of baby Eloise marks the beginning of what promises to be a beautiful journey for their growing family.
