Sofia Richie is engaged to her boyfriend Elliot Grainge, after he got down on one knee and proposed – surrounded by roses with a huge diamond ring – after a year of dating.

The 23-year-old model shared her good news on Wednesday, with photographs from her candle-lit proposal.

In the post, Sofia, who is the youngest daughter of music legend Lionel Richie, wrote the caption: ‘Forever isn’t long enough @elliot.’

In the first picture, 28-year-old Elliot – the son of the Universal Music Group chairman and CEO Sir Lucian Grainge, and founder of 10K Projects, an independent record label based in Los Angeles – could be seen down on one knee dressed in a pair of light-coloured slacks and a dark blue button-down shirt.

The proposal took place at sunset, and the music executive had made sure it was as special as could be by decorating the area with an array of roses, as well as a selection of gorgeous candles.

In the second photograph, the couple could be seen sharing a kiss, with Sofia’s large emerald-cut diamond ring was visible on her hand.

The model’s long blonde hair was slicked back into a stylish low bun, and she also sported a pair of diamond earrings that complemented her outfit perfectly.

She wore a yellow and beige silk maxi dress with short sleeves for the occasion. 

Another series of photographs shared on her Instagram story showed the future Mr and Mrs sharing more kisses, as well as shots that showcased her enormous diamond ring.

In yet more shots the newly engaged couple were seen jumping into a swimming pool illustrating their high spirits and joy at the happy occasion.

Elliot was also quick to share the happy news to his Instagram account, simply captioning the photograph: ‘She said yes ❤️❤️❤️’

Sofia’s sister Nicole shared a photograph of herself posing with Sofia on her Instagram story and joked: ‘Can’t wait to find ways to make this about me.’

Sofia and Elliot were first spotted with one another in April 2021, with a source saying that the couple had known one another for an extended period before they began dating.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the time, they said: ‘They have been friends for years and Elliot is also close with Sofia’s brother, Miles. It’s very nice for Sofia to date someone who her family approves of and likes.

 ‘Sofia and Elliot are happy together and having fun.’ 

In November, Sofia confirmed her romance with Elliot on Instagram, sharing a photograph of the couple in which the social media personality is seen planting a kiss on her boyfriend’s lips.

Alongside the image, she wrote: ‘You are everything to me. I love you, happy birthday babe.’

Previously, Sofia had been in a relationship with Scott Disick – with whom she has a 16-year age gap – and who she began dating in 2017.
