Sofia Richie, a renowned model and influencer, is the highly recognized daughter of the legendary singer Lionel Richie and his second wife, Diane Alexander. Her upbringing alongside her sister, Nicole Richie, and her godfather, Michael Jackson, catapulted her into a life of rapid stardom.
Before Sofia Richie tied the knot with fiancé Elliot Grainge in April 2023, she had been in relationships with several well-known boyfriends, including A-listers like Justin Bieber, Brooklyn Beckham, and Scott Disick.
Sofia Richie’s Relationship Timeline
Jaden Smith
Sofia’s romantic endeavours first captured public attention during a brief relationship with Jaden Smith in 2012, when they were both teenagers.
While their initial fling remained discreet, the pair reignited dating rumours in September 2020, prompting speculation about a possible reconnection. The “Summertime in Paris” singer clarified on iHeartRadio’s On-Air With Ryan Seacrest that their relationship has consistently been platonic, highlighting their decade-long friendship.
Jake Andrews
The timeline of Jake and Sofia’s relationship is somewhat unclear. They were frequently seen together around Los Angeles from 2015 to the spring of 2016. Particular details about this relationship remain in the dark. At that time, she was 16, and Jake was 20. According to sources, they became good friends after their romantic affair.
Samir Nasri
In June 2016, 17-year-old Sofia was captured in photographs holding hands with Samir, a professional soccer player, as they celebrated his 29th birthday.
Brooklyn Beckham
In 2017, rumours were circulating that Sofia was in a relationship with Brooklyn, the eldest son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. The model duo was frequently seen together in Los Angeles and London during the winter of 2016 to early 2017, although neither officially confirmed their relationship.
Justin Bieber
In 2016, Sofia and the then-22-year-old Justin Bieber sparked rumours of a romantic connection when paparazzi captured them together throughout Los Angeles. During one instance, they were seen hiking in Hollywood Hills, and it was reported that the then-18-year-old Sofia joined him on the road for his 2016-2017 Purpose World Tour.
Scott DIsick
Before entering a relationship with Elliot Grainge, Sofia experienced her lengthiest romance with Scott Disick, a star from “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and the founder of Talentless. Despite their 15-year age gap, they began dating in the summer of 2017, officially confirming their relationship in September of that year. Sofia became integrated into episodes of KUWTK and even participated in family vacations with Scott’s kids and his ex, Kourtney Kardashian.
However, Scott’s close ties with Kourtney adversely affected his relationship with Sofia. By May 2020, they decided to end their relationship, with reports suggesting Sofia’s concerns about Scott’s time spent with the mother of his children played a role. Despite intermittent reconciliations during the summer, they ultimately called it quits for good in August 2020.
In a March 2021 episode of KUWTK, Scott revealed that he and Sofia broke up after she gave him an “ultimatum” between her and Kourtney Kardashian. Scott emphasized the importance of prioritizing his children and family, expressing that Sofia wanted him to choose between her and Kourtney, leading to their eventual separation.
Elliot Grainge
Sofia and Elliot exchanged vows in a lavish, star-studded ceremony on April 22, 2023. Sofia’s father, Lionel, spoke to Access Hollywood on April 26, 2022, and expressed his love for Elliot, saying,
“I’ve known him since he was 12… It was one of those things where I didn’t have to go back and check out the kid. I know who it is.”
Sofia made her relationship with music executive Elliot Grainge public on Instagram in April 2021, shortly after reports of their dating surfaced. An insider revealed on April 6 that they had been friends for years, emphasizing Elliot’s close relationship with Sofia’s brother, Miles. The source noted that it was comforting for Sofia to be with someone her family approved of.
Confirming the speculation, Sofia posted an Instagram Story featuring a photo of herself and Grainge appearing ready to share a kiss. Grainge, the founder and CEO of the independent record label 10K Projects, quickly became serious with the model just days after its public debut. A source shared with Us Weekly that they started as friends before becoming a couple, and their relationship had been growing closer each day, spending practically every day together.
