Ms. Sofia Richie Grainge, 26, has publicly responded to circulating allegations suggesting that her husband, Mr. Elliot Grainge, 31, engaged in extramarital conduct.
The media personality addressed the claims via a video posted to her official TikTok account. In the clip, Ms. Richie Grainge appeared alongside Mr. Grainge as the couple reviewed and reacted to public comments referencing the rumoured infidelity, which had originated from a separate TikTok post.
The appearance follows a recent public family outing involving the couple and their infant daughter.
Ms. Sofia Richie Grainge, who shares a one-year-old daughter, Eloise, with her husband Mr. Elliot Grainge, recently posted a video to TikTok in which the couple informally addressed a series of disparaging public comments circulating online.
In the video, recorded while the couple were lying in bed, Mr. Grainge read aloud several remarks that had been left on a separate TikTok post. Among them were statements such as, “Get that coin, sis,” to which Ms. Richie responded with a brief laugh, and, “Why wouldn’t she want to be single again?” followed by, “They got married?”
Another comment read: “She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well, she should divorce him and take his child support money.” As Ms. Richie again laughed at the remark, Mr. Grainge was heard quietly cautioning her with the words, “Don’t do that, Soph.”
In the continuation of the video, Mr. Elliot Grainge read aloud another public comment, stating: “That? Cheating on her?”—a remark which both he and Ms. Sofia Richie Grainge mutually characterized as “mean.”
Following the exchange, Ms. Richie briefly redirected the camera toward herself, after which Mr. Grainge humorously inquired, “What am I? Shrek?”
In the caption accompanying the TikTok post, Ms. Richie, daughter of musician Lionel Richie, wrote: “I had to break it to my husband that he’s not the people’s princess.”
The video prompted a wave of supportive responses from members of the public in the comment section. Representative remarks included:
“Best way to silence haters.”
“Changing my dating app bio to ‘looking for an Elliot Grainge.’”
“People honestly forget how hurtful the things they say can be. That’s terrible, poor dude.”
“NOW this is a way that we should be clearing up rumors every single time. I love this.”
“Never doubted this man! He loves her, people are weird.”
“Real ones love Elliot and know he treats you like a queen,” — a comment that received a ‘like’ from Ms. Richie herself.
ne social media user commented, “What a way to respond,” while another remarked, “Ugh, please let this type of love attack me,” in reaction to the video posted by Ms. Sofia Richie Grainge.
Ms. Richie Grainge’s relationship with Mr. Elliot Grainge, the son of Universal Music Group CEO Mr. Lucian Grainge, was publicly confirmed in 2021. The couple became engaged the following year during a romantic proposal that took place while vacationing in Hawaii.
In April 2023, the couple solemnized their marriage in a private ceremony held in the south of France. The event garnered widespread attention across social media platforms after Ms. Richie Grainge launched her official TikTok account in the days leading up to the wedding. The nuptials attracted significant interest, particularly for their embodiment of the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic.
In a subsequent interview with L’Officiel, Ms. Richie Grainge reflected on the unexpected scale of her social media following, stating:
“I’ve never expected to get any positive feedback from social media. My happiness doesn’t depend on social media feedback, and I feel like I protected my mental health in that way throughout the years of being in the spotlight.”
As of the date of the interview, Ms. Richie Grainge had amassed approximately 4 million followers on TikTok and 11 million on Instagram.#newsafro_
