What We Know About Sofia Richie And Elliot Grainge's Relationship
During a recent episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Scott Disick claimed his lengthy relationship with significantly younger paramour Sofia Richie ultimately came to an end because she couldn't handle how close the reality star was to baby mama Kourtney Kardashian. As People notes, Richie allegedly told the father of three, "I don't want to share you as a boyfriend with Kourtney," before demanding he choose between the two women. As a result, Disick felt that the relationship was unsustainable.
Richie shot back at her ex's claims, with a source telling OK! magazine that the Talentless founder was "twisting the truth" in a desperate bid for attention. In fact, "The way Sofia sees it, she was way more accepting of Kourtney and the kids than Kourtney was of her." Since the couple ended their three-year romance, Disick has begun dating another similarly-aged young lady in the form of model Amelia Hamlin, daughter of Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna. Sofia Richie, meanwhile, appears to have moved on too.
Sofia Richie seems happy with new man Elliot Grainge
Last month, Sofia Richie posted a selfie featuring her and a mystery man, both masked up, in an elevator together (via Instagram). There were no tags, and the caption didn't offer any information either, but as Hollywood Life notes, fans quickly surmised the man in question was Elliot Grainge, the founder of record label 10K Projects. The duo was previously spotted holding hands in West Hollywood, while Richie was also snapped kissing someone in Miami a month before. Grainge's father is Universal Music Group's Chairman and CEO, Sir Lucian Grainge, so it's likely he and the socialite bonded over music since her dad is, of course, Lionel Richie, who's actually released a few albums through Universal, too.
According to the Daily Mail, Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge are officially a couple, with an insider close to them confirming as such. The two were spotted earlier this week grabbing food from celebrity hotspot Matsuhisa, with Richie all smiles next to her new beau. Grainge is 27, so he's much closer in age to the model and social media influencer than her ex, who turns 38 in May. Since splitting from Disick, Richie has been linked to several high-profile dudes, including Matthew Morton, the wealthy founder of Cha Cha Matcha, and well-connected shipping heir Gil Ofer. It seems like she and Grainge are much better suited, however, and judging by the most recent paparazzi shots of them hanging out, they're having a great time.
