Almost a bride! Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge’s wedding day is almost here — and her famous family is eagerly counting down the days.“Sofia’s family couldn’t be happier for her and Elliot.

They’ve seen her in past relationships, but nothing compares to how happy she seems with Elliot,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly of Richie, 24, and the music executive, 29. “They know she’s going to make an exquisite bride and they can’t wait for her to start this next chapter of her life.”The model and Grainge were first linked in January 2021, with a second source previously telling Us that the pair were “very happy” together. “They started out as friends before they became a couple, and are now getting serious,” the insider added at the time. “Their relationship took off and they have been getting closer and closer and spend practically every day together.”After more than one year of dating, the England native popped the question. “Forever isn’t long enough,” Richie gushed via Instagram in April 2022, showing off her diamond ring.The NudeStix beauty director — who is the youngest daughter of Lionel Richie and his ex-wife Diane Alexander — has since gotten plenty of advice and support from her relatives.“Her brother, Miles [Richie], is so proud of his little sister and Nicole [Richie] is so sweet, giving her advice on marriage and being an amazing big sister,” the first insider tells Us. “It’s a really happy time for the whole family and they are thrilled to welcome Elliot into their family.”The American Idol judge, 73, and Alexander, 56, were married between 1995 and 2003, welcoming son Miles in 1994 and Sofia in 1998, respectively.
