Congratulations are in order for Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge! The couple are parents once again.
On March 25, Sofia, 27, posted on Instagram that she and Elliot, 32, had welcomed their second baby, an adorable little boy that they had named Henry Cecil Grainge.

"Henry!!!!!!!!!" one of her followers commented on her post, with another sweetly adding: "Congratulations! Welcome to the world Henry," and a third writing: "Henry Cecil that's soooo cute!!" with several others commenting blue heart emojis.
The model and fashion designer confirmed that she and Elliot, a music executive who is the son of Sir Lucian Grainge, were dating back in 2021. He proposed the year after, and they tied the knot in 2023 in the south of France.
Sofia has been open about the joys of being a new mom soon after welcoming Eloise, but she's also not shied away from discussing the struggles of motherhood either. "It's shocking how little we hear about aftercare or what you might experience postpartum," she told InStyle last year at a Baby2Baby event about postpartum struggles.
"Having a place to turn to for education is crucial – because I didn't even know where to look at first. What Baby2Baby is doing here – just distributing basic information on how to safely put your baby to sleep, for example – is amazing."

"It can be extremely hard, and it really breaks my heart for those moms. So, it's amazing to partner with Baby2Baby to give back – not just to babies, but to the mothers, too. Because mom is the source. Mom has to be okay for everything else to run smoothly."

When she went to visit a specialist on her doctor's advice, she recalled of the moment: "They hooked me up to the monitor and they were like, 'You're in active labor.' I was really terrified." After six days in the hospital, she was able to go home but spent six weeks on bed rest contracting before she was finally induced.
