Sofia Richie has a new boyfriend.
Lionel Richie’s daughter is dating music executive Elliot Grainge, “Entertainment Tonight”, reported on Tuesday. Grainge is the son of Universal Music Group president and CEO Lucian Grainge.
“They have been friends for years and Elliot is also close to Sofia’s brother Miles,” a source told Richie’s brother’s outlet. “It is very good for Sofia to date someone that her family approves and likes.”
The source added “Sofia and Elliot are happy together and having fun”.
Richie, 22, posted a photo on Instagram with Grainge on March 26 and captioned it with just a sunflower emoji.
Richie and Grainge, 27, whose 10K Projects produced Tekashi 6ix9ine albums, started dating after their brief romance with Matthew Morton.
Grainge and Richie representatives did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Page Six revealed exclusively that Scott Disick, 37, and Richie separated after nearly three years together because of Disick’s struggles and close relationship with ex Kourtney Kardashian, with whom he shares three children.
“Kourtney didn’t make it easy for her,” said our source, “and you can only tolerate this type of treatment for a while.”
In a recent episode of “Keeping You Upset with the Kardashians”, the founder of Talentless stated that Richie gave him an ultimatum.
“Even though I did that, I feel like she started wanting to push Kourtney out and I said, like, ‘This is the most important thing for me, it’s my kids and this is my family and the only family I have,'” he explained . . “Including you together with him.”
He added: “And she said, ‘I don’t want to share you as a boyfriend with Kourtney’ and then she literally said with an ultimatum, ‘You have to choose me or Kourtney’.”
Disick is now dating Amelia Hamlin.
