Lionel Richie, the esteemed 74-year-old singer, eagerly awaits the arrival of his newest grandchild—a baby girl expected to inherit her mother Sofia’s diva-like qualities. With Sofia and husband Elliot Grainge expecting their first child, Richie jests about the forthcoming “defiance” that inevitably comes from the Richie lineage. He playfully teases Sofia about the impending shock parenthood will bring, remarking, “You can’t come from Sofia and not have some form of defiance.” Richie looks forward to witnessing Sofia and Elliot’s transformation into parents, jokingly anticipating the inevitable moments when they’ll realize they can’t simply hand the baby back.

Overjoyed at the prospect of Sofia and Elliot’s parenthood journey, Richie believes it will be the ultimate adventure. Reflecting on the surreal experience of watching his own child become a parent, Richie expresses both excitement and a hint of trepidation, acknowledging that this new addition to the family will be nothing short of extraordinary.
