Sofia Richie Grainge was recently observed vacationing with family at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France—an internationally renowned resort and the venue where she and her husband, Elliot Grainge, were married.
The 26-year-old daughter of recording artist Lionel Richie undertook the trip shortly after publicly addressing allegations that Mr. Grainge, 31, had engaged in extramarital conduct following the birth of their daughter, Eloise, who is now one year old.
Ms. Richie Grainge responded to the claims via a TikTok video in which she and Mr. Grainge reviewed public comments on a separate post containing the accusation of infidelity. The video served as her first direct engagement with the matter in a public forum.
In the aforementioned TikTok video, Ms. Richie Grainge appeared alongside Mr. Grainge as he recited several disparaging remarks that had been posted online. Ms. Richie Grainge responded with levity, audibly laughing and exhibiting no signs of distress, thereby signaling a lighthearted dismissal of the allegations.
The couple has since continued to present a united front, most recently by returning to the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France—the site of their April 2023 nuptials—for a private family holiday.
Ms. Richie Grainge subsequently shared a curated selection of images from the trip via her verified Instagram account. The photo series included various depictions of the luxury accommodations, as well as affectionate photographs she had taken of Mr. Grainge, further reinforcing the couple’s public demonstration of cohesion and mutual support.
Among the images shared by Ms. Richie Grainge on social media was a photograph depicting her in swimwear, reclining on what appeared to be a deck chair while enjoying the Mediterranean sun. Another image captured an intimate moment of Ms. Richie Grainge cradling her daughter, Eloise, as the two looked out of an open window toward a scenic ocean vista.
The photo series was published within days of the couple’s TikTok video, in which they jointly addressed—and appeared to dismiss—ongoing public speculation concerning the status of their marriage.
In the video, Mr. Grainge read aloud various public comments posted online, including: “Get that coin, sis,” which prompted Ms. Richie Grainge to laugh quietly. He continued with: “Why wouldn’t she want to be single again?” and “They got married?”
One particularly pointed remark read: “She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well; she should divorce him and take his child support money.” Upon hearing this, Ms. Richie Grainge laughed once more, to which Mr. Grainge responded quietly, “Don’t do that, Soph.”
He then read another comment questioning, “That? Cheating on her?”—prompting both parties to mutually characterize the statement as “mean.” The video concluded with Ms. Richie Grainge turning the camera back toward herself, after which Mr. Grainge jokingly asked, “What am I? Shrek?”#newsafro_
