Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia Richie's wedding: what to know of the 24-year-old's relationship

The American Idol judge's youngest daughter is set to wed Elliot Grainge in the South of France

Lionel Richie is getting ready to walk his youngest daughter, Sofia Richie, down the aisle, at what is shaping up to be quite the glamorous and star-studded wedding weekend.

The wedding festivities have already begun for the 24-year-old bride-to-be, who herself along with many of her celebrity friends have already descended upon the prestigious Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes in the South of France.

Sofia, a creative director for beauty brand Nudestix, is the judge's youngest of his three children. He also shares son Miles Brockman, 28, with his ex-wife – and Sofia's mom – Diane Alexander, who he was married to from 1995 to 2004. Lionel and his first wife, Brenda Harvey, to whom he was married to from 1975 to 1993, adopted Nicole Richie when she was nine years old because her parents, friends of the Richies, were struggling financially.

Now the youngest Richie sibling is preparing to tie the knot to her fiancé Elliot Grainge, 30, a British music executive.

They were first romantically linked to each other in 2021, and Elliot dropped down on one knee with a candlelit proposal in April 2022. They initially bonded over their shared musical background; Sofia's father of course is a Grammy-winning musician, while Elliot is the son of Universal Music Group chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge.

Lionel has previously gushed over his daughter's future husband, revealing to Access Hollywood: "I love Elliot. I've known him since he was 12," adding: "It was one of those things where I don't have to go back and check out the kid. I know who he is."

Now that her wedding weekend is in full swing, Sofia has taken both to Instagram and TikTok to share all of the special details, plus her stunning outfits.

While fans have loved every bit of her glimpses into the special weekend and all of her looks, they are itching for an official wedding dress reveal, and have expressed in her comments sections their eagerness to see the rest of the wedding fête.

"Wedding of the year I'm calling it now," one fan said, as others wrote in: "This is my Super Bowl," and: "Cannot wait for the dress reveal," plus even Lionel weighed in, writing: "Are you ready…?" next to a brown heart emoji.
