Sofia was first connected to Grainge on January 2021. They confirmed their love two months later. “They started out as friends before they became a couple, and are now getting serious. Their relationship took off and they have been getting closer and closer and spend practically every day together,” a source told Us WeeklyThe couple in April 2021. “He’s super sweet and a really cool guy — her friends and family approve!”
The insider added: “She loves that he’s low-key and isn’t someone who craves the spotlight. They like to be homebodies but also enjoy going out together.”
Later that year, the fashion designer gushed about her boyfriend. “You are everything to me,” she wrote via Instagram in November 2021, alongside a photo of her and Grainge about to kiss. “I love you, happy birthday babe.”
Last month, the CEO of 10K Projects proposed to her partner in marriage surrounded by candles and white flowers petals. “Forever isn’t long enough @elliot,” Sofia wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing two pictures from the proposal. Grainge, for his part, posted a photo kissing his new fiancée along with the simple caption, “She said yes ❤️❤️❤️.”
“I love you,” Sofia wrote in the comments of his post.
Grainge has also earned the approval of the California native’s father, Lionel Richie. “I love Elliot, I’ve known him since he was 12. It was one of those things where I don’t have to go back and check out the kid. I know who it is,” the American Idol judge, 72, told Access Hollywood last month, adding that the twosome were “so happy” together. “As a papa and as a dad, you know, that’s my little girl, so she is in good hands.”
Despite their families’ longtime friendship, Lionel revealed that his future son-in-law was intimidated when he asked for permission to propose to Sofia. “He was a nervous wreck,” the “Hello” crooner recalled. “Poor guy. I thought he was going to pass out.”
