After nearly a year of dating, Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge announced their engagement in a heartfelt social media post. Taking to Instagram, the two wrote heartfelt captions alongside a snapshot of Grainge popping the question. “Forever isn’t long enough @elliot,” Richie gushed. In Grainge’s post, he wrote, “She said yes,” alongside three red heart emoji. Since uploading their respective photos, the happy couple has been inundated with congratulatory messages from friends and family.
Sofia’s sister Nicole Richie was one of the first to congratulate the fashion model by uploading the engagement photo to her Instagram Story. She then followed up with another Story stating, “Can’t wait to find ways to make this about me,” via E! News. Nicole’s husband, Joel Madden, also congratulated the couple via Instagram Story, with the caption: “My two favorites… I’m so happy for you both couldn’t have picked better people.”
Even though Lionel Richie has yet to release a statement on social media, the legendary music artist has previously expressed his approval of their relationship. According to E! News, a source claims the “Hello” singer thinks the two are “a perfect match” and that “it was very natural progression for Sofia and Elliot to get together.” As an insider told Entertainment Tonight, “[Sofia and Elliot] have been friends for years and Elliot is also close with Sofia’s brother, Miles. It’s very nice for Sofia to date someone who her family approves of and likes.” Sounds like Grainge will be a welcome addition to the Richie family!
