Who Is Sofia Richie's New Boyfriend Elliot Grainge? Things To Know About Music Executive

Sofia Richie has moved on from ex Scott Disick with new boyfriend Elliot Grainge.

On Wednesday, Richie, 22, made her relationship with her new beau Instagram official by sharing photos of them kissing and cozying up to each other. This comes just days after it was reported that she has found new love in the music executive.

Richie also earlier teased her new romance by sharing an elevator selfie with Grainge on Instagram. Here are five things to know about the model's new boyfriend, according to Us Weekly and Forbes.

1. He's about her age

Grainge, 27, is closer to Richie in age than her ex, Disick, who is 16 years her senior, though the model said in an earlier interview that she didn't mind having a wide age gap with her partner.

"This weird thing where I just don’t care what people think," Richie said. "Doesn’t bother me because I’m very happy. Why would I let someone from the middle of nowhere ruin that for me?"

A huge age gap is not new to Richie because her mom Diane Alexander and dad Lionel Richie are 18 years apart in terms of age. The "Endless Love" singer is currently dating much-younger girlfriend Lisa Parigi, who is almost 40 years his junior.

2. He runs his own label

Grainge's dad, Lucian Grainge, has been the chief executive officer of Universal Music Group since 2011.

But the younger Grainge founded in 2016 his own independent record label, 10K Projects, which produced Tekashi 6ix9ine's albums. The label has signed rapper Trippie Redd, the group Internet Money and several other up-and-coming talents.

3. He loves music

It's clear that Grainge is a big music fan, and he has spoken about his favorite artists in his previous interviews.

He told Jewish Boston that in May 2013 that the band Take That played at his bar mitzvah. "They were No. 1 in the UK at the time. The party was great fun and gave me a real taste of how to create an exciting party," he said.

He also previously revealed that Eminem has a special place in his heart because he has been raised on hip-hop and said the rapper took the genre to the next level.

"If you look at the streaming data and analytics over the past six years, you’ll see anyone under 28 around the world has been raised on hip-hop," he told Variety. "It’s a lifestyle, a culture, as rock once was for another generation. And I believe it was Eminem who took it to the next step in terms of global reach."

4. He’s on social media but remains a private person

Richie's boyfriend is present on social media, with verified accounts on Instagram and Twitter. He has over 35,000 followers on Instagram and more than 5,000 followers on Twitter.

Despite this, Grainge does not share his private life online. His Instagram has no photos, while his Twitter only has two tweets from August 2019.

5. He has a degree

Aside from his passion for music, Grainge believes in education. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. However, his graduating year is unclear.
