The baby’s middle name is a touching tribute to Elliot’s late mother Samantha Berg, who died tragically young in 2007.
In the process of giving birth to Elliot in 1993, Samantha had an amniotic fluid embolism, resulting in a coma that she remained in until her death.
Sofia and Elliot had been acquaintances for several years before they began dating in early 2021. They became engaged in 2022 and wed in 2023.
Their April 2022 wedding was lavish with a star-studded ceremony that took place in southern France.
Sofia revealed her pregnancy to the public during an interview with Vogue that was published in January.
She also said that she would be welcoming a baby girl.
The model was formerly linked to both Justin Bieber and Scott Disick before she settled down with Grainge, a British record executive.
Richie was ‘having a breakdown’ before giving birth, her dad Lionel said last week.
The 74-year-old singer revealed on the 19th that as Sofia’s due date grew closer, she was getting more and more nervous.
He told Extra: ‘My life is so full right now. My baby is now having a baby, what the heck is going on? Elliot and Sofia are about to have a nervous breakdown, but I’ve told her to calm down. I say ‘When the baby comes, then you can have a nervous breakdown!’ It’s just a great time!’
The American Idol judge is already grandfather to Harlow, 16, and Sparrow, 14, through his adoptive daughter Nicole Richie but is excited to experience the feeling of becoming a grandparent all over again as he admitted that he is ‘over the moon’ and thinks that parenthood will be the ultimate ‘adventure’ for Sofia and her husband, he shared just days ago.
He said: ‘Of course, let me tell you something, we’re all loving it. I’m over the moon and trying to stay calm. I’m just so excited.

‘For them, I know this is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!’
The Hello singer – who has Sofia with his ex-wife Diane Alexander and also has son Miles, 29, with her – recently admitted it was surreal to find out the model is expecting her own baby.
He said: ‘I’m watching my baby having a baby. Yikes! I mean, that just kind of freaked me out a little bit. But at the same time, Elliot and Sofia are such a force. This little baby is gonna be souped up like you’ve never seen before. It’s amazing.’

Sofia was ‘so excited and anxious’ to become a mother a source said in April.
An insider claimed that the couple prepared the nursery early.
The source told UsWeekly: ‘The theme is pastel pinks and neutrals. It’s very cosy. so excited and anxious to see her and for her to be here. Elliot has been there for her and really supported her through this journey.
‘He is really hands on, and always making sure she has what she needs, going on appointments with her and loves to drive her around.’
