Sofia Richie Shares Special Way She’s Cherishing Mom Life With Baby Eloise

Sofia Richie Grainge wants to remember every moment of motherhood.

The 25-year-old—who welcomed her daughter Eloise Samantha Grainge on May 20 with her music executive husband Elliot Grainge—shared the sweet way she’s treasuring every memory with her baby girl.

“It’s really good for me mentally to journal. And I actually found out I’m a scrapbook girl,” she told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Aug. 15. “I wrote everything down in a scrapbook for Eloise, just things I didn’t want to forget.”

Needless to say, Sofia—who is the daughter of Lionel Richie and his ex-wife Diane Alexander—is already adjusting well to life with a 2-month-old.

“I wake up around 6 a.m. and go see my daughter,” she explained. “I have a little morning routine with her: We wake up, she eats, we have a bit of playtime before her first nap at 8.”

Mom life for Sofia, though, hasn’t always been so methodical.

“The first four weeks, I was with her 24 hours a day,” she continued. “Now she’s gotten to an age where I have her on a sleep schedule, so she’s taking a lot of 90-minute naps throughout the day. My life and everything that I need to get done have to happen within those 90 minutes.”

And having to adapt to 90-minute moments of productivity has been a challenge, especially considering she describes herself as “Type A.”

“I’m a very scheduled, organized person. I’m very type A, clean and organized,” Sofia shared. “But I’ve also learned that I don’t have to be that way, because when you have a baby, all of that kind of goes out the window. I’ve learned that I’m more flexible than I think.”

The fashion icon has also learned that being mom to baby Eloise is her “first priority,” both now and going forward.

“Now as a mom, I think I’ll create some more boundaries,” Sofia said. “If I’ve gotta go to fashion week, then she’s going to pack her bags and come with me. If she can’t, then I’m not going to be able to make it.”

In addition to adding Eloise to their family, read on to see the major milestones of Sofia and Elliot’s relationship.

Sofia Richie sparked dating rumors with music executive Elliot Grainge in the spring of 2021, nearly a year after her breakup from Scott Disick.

Though the pair's history went way back—as Elliot's dad, Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, is a longtime friend of Sofia's father Lionel Richie—romance speculation started swirling when they were seen out on a date. 

The model confirmed her relationship with Elliot in April 2021, posting this PDA photo on Instagram.

Shortly Sofia went public with the romance, a source told E! News that Lionel gave his seal of approval.

"He thinks they are a perfect match and it was very natural progression for Sofia and Elliot to get together," the insider said in April 2021. "They are all family friends and Sofia and Elliot [started] hanging out more recently this year."

Elliot popped the question in early 2022 during a Hawaiian vacation with friends and family.

"Sofia truly had no idea," another source told E! News at the time. "She thought they were just going on a fun vacation. Sofia's reaction was epic, she was so surprised and taken back."

In May 2022, the couple celebrated their engagement with their inner circle—including Sofia's sister Nicole Richie and brother-in-law Joel Madden—at a backyard bash.

Sofia and Elliot tied the knot on April 22, 2023 at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France.

The newlyweds jetted off for their tropical honeymoon shortly after the lavish nuptials.

Sofia announced her pregnancy in January 2024, telling Vogue, "I've learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life. And also just like what the female body is capable of."

The influencer continued, "Every week brings new things, whether it's hormonal shifts or expansion—there's just so much our bodies go through, and it's so interesting to experience it all."

Days after sharing news of her pregnancy, Sofia posted a TikTok video of her and Elliot's reaction to learning that they were having a daughter.

"Oh my god," Sofia screamed after she was showered with pink confetti during an intimate backyard reveal with Elliot. "I'm so excited!"
