Richie Grainge's post drew enthusiastic responses from her celebrity friends. Hailey Bieber, who is also expecting a baby with husband Justin Bieber, and Kylie Jenner both commented, "Congratulations."
Ashley Tisdale, the former Disney Channel star, added, "Omg the sweetest name!!" Meanwhile, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Heather Dubrow simply wrote, "Adorable."
The announcement of baby Eloise's arrival came just under four months after Richie Grainge proudly displayed her baby bump on the red carpet at the 2024 Grammys.
Her journey to motherhood had been a source of excitement and anticipation for her fans and followers.
A Joyous Journey to Parenthood
In an interview with Vogue magazine in late January, Richie Grainge revealed she discovered her pregnancy while attending Milan Fashion Week.
Sofia revealed that she found her pregnancy very early on her journey. She added that she was on a fashion week trip to Milan and was going to the Prada show.
The mom influencer described that she had a quick 24-hour turnaround and felt terrible but did not think much of it. She assumed she was suffering from jet lag, but it turns out she was about four weeks pregnant.
Upon returning to Los Angeles, she hesitated to join her husband and friends at an Ed Sheeran concert, feeling a bit off and realizing she was a few days late on her period.
She decided to take a pregnancy test, which showed a faint positive result. Ecstatic but cautious, she purchased additional tests to confirm the news.
"He was so excited," Richie Grainge recalled about Elliot's reaction. "We spoke the whole way on the phone. And when he came home, he always wanted to protect my emotions and expectations, so he kind of sat me down and said, 'If these are negative, don't be upset. Our moment will come.'"
The couple, who had been casually trying to start a family since their wedding in April 2023, were overjoyed when all three tests confirmed the pregnancy.
On January 28, Richie Grainge shared a TikTok video announcing they were expecting a baby girl. In the video, the couple stood in their yard with their dogs as Grainge held a small cannon.
After a countdown, he pulled the cannon, releasing pink confetti to signify they were having a girl. "I'm so excited," Richie Grainge exclaimed as she and her husband embraced. She humorously captioned the post apologizing to all her neighbors for the horrifying scream.
The journey to welcoming Eloise has been filled with love, joy, and anticipation for Sofia Richie Grainge and Elliot Grainge.
Their heartfelt announcement has resonated deeply with fans and friends, marking the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in their lives.
