Move over, Scott Disick! Meet Sofia Richie’s new fiancé, Elliot Grainge: his dad is CEO of Universal Music Group and he founded his own label, 10K Projects – but do Lionel and Nicole approve?
- Lionel Richie’s youngest kid, Sofia announced her engagement to Elliot Grainge on Instagram in April, and celebrated one month later with sister Nicole and brother-in-law Joel Madden
- Elliot is the son of UMG’s Lucian Grainge, who’s worked with Abba, Queen, Jay-Z and Rihanna; his own music label 10K Projects signed Trippie Redd and Tekashi 6ix9ine
The party took place after Grainge popped the question in April, over one year after their relationship was confirmed. The pair were actually friends for years before dating, according to E!
So what else do we know about her beau who is away from the spotlight – totally different from her ex?
His father is a big name in the music industry
Grainge grew up surrounded by music thanks to his father, chairman and CEO of multibillion-dollar empire Universal Music Group (UMG), Lucian Grainge.
Joining UMG in 1986, Lucian worked with legendary stars like Abba, Queen, The Rolling Stones, U2, Elton John, Amy Winehouse, Jay-Z, Katy Perry and Rihanna, according to the company’s website. Some of his outstanding accolades are Billboard’s first-ever Executive of the Decade, a Hollywood Walk of Fame star and even Queen Elizabeth’s knight honour.
