The post garnered a wave of 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 emoji] of the family.”

The couple’s journey to parenthood began with an exciting revelation earlier this year.

Richie announced her pregnancy in an interview and photoshoot with Vogue in late January.

She shared that she took a pregnancy test just before attending an Ed Sheeran concert with Grainge, suspecting she might be pregnant, as per Billboard.

Her intuition was right, and after sending Grainge to the drugstore for three more tests to confirm the first positive result, the couple’s excitement grew.

Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge have been together since making their relationship Instagram official in April 2021.

They tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in the South of France in April 2023. Despite their public profiles, they have maintained a relatively private relationship.

Grainge, the son of Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge, is also a prominent figure in the music industry as the founder and CEO of the independent record label 10K Projects.

With the arrival of Eloise Samantha Grainge, the couple’s world has been transformed. As Richie herself expressed, it truly was the “best day” of her life.
