A Name Steeped in Family Heritage
Henry Cecil isn’t just a beautiful name, it’s deeply meaningful for the Grainge family. According to reporting, the couple chose to honor Elliot’s ancestry through Ashkenazi Jewish naming traditions. Henry comes from Elliot’s great-grandfather Henry Goldstein, while Cecil honors his grandfather, who was the father of Lucian Grainge, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group.
Like their daughter Eloise Samantha, whose middle name pays tribute to Elliot’s late mother, the couple has chosen names that celebrate family bonds. Sofia married into the Jewish faith in April 2023, and the Lionel Richie daughter completed her formal conversion to Judaism just one month before her wedding in the South of France.
From First Child to Second Baby
| Detail | Information |
| First Child | Eloise Samantha Grainge, born May 20, 2024 |
| Second Child | Henry Cecil Grainge, born March 18, 2026 |
| Time Between Births | Approximately 22 months |
| Sofia’s Age | 27 years old |
| Elliot’s Age | 31 years old |
The couple announced Henry’s arrival less than a year after celebrating their daughter’s first birthday in May 2025. Sofia had posted an emotional tribute to Eloise at that milestone, writing: “A year ago today my little girl was born. Watching her grow has been a gift. My greatest achievement will always be her.”
The fashion designer announced her second pregnancy back in October 2025, sharing a mirror selfie showing off her growing bump. She captioned the photo, “On my way to launch these babies plus @srgatelier,” nodding to her recent fashion venture SRG Atelier, which debuted in 2025.

Growing Family, Growing Legacy
Sofia and Elliot have been incredibly private about their family life, rarely showing their children’s faces publicly. They met through mutual friends and went public with their romance in 2021. Elliot proposed in 2022, and the couple exchanged vows in a traditional Jewish ceremony in April 2023 in the South of France.
The couple’s journey to parenthood hasn’t been without challenges. During her first pregnancy, Sofia revealed she’d experienced complications, including being placed on bed rest when she began having premature contractions at six months. She gained 70 pounds during her first pregnancy with Eloise and spoke openly about the emotional toll of childbirth in interviews.
What’s Next for Sofia Richie’s Fashion and Family Life?
Beyond her growing family, Sofia has been building her entrepreneurial empire. SRG Atelier, her contemporary fashion label launched with retailer Revolve, reflects her signature sophisticated style. The brand emphasizes timeless elegance and quality pieces designed for the modern woman. With Henry’s arrival and her fashion duties, the next chapter of Sofia’s life promises to be busier than ever.
The model has shown she can balance motherhood, marriage, and career ambitions with grace. As her family grows to four, fans can expect more precious moments, though Sofia and Elliot will likely continue protecting their children’s privacy while sharing the joy of parenthood on their terms.
