Both Sofia Richie Grainge and Nicole Richie are very devoted to their famous father, Lionel Richie.
Lionel, who is 74 years old, posted a video of his daughters enjoying a “fangirl moment” when they watched him perform at one of his gigs on Monday on Instagram.
The singer of “All Night Long” captioned the video, which shows her sisters dancing and yelling “Lionel!” from the crowd, “Take your Kids to Work Day turned out well….” Both of them gave a friendly wave to their dad as he made his way closer to where they were standing in the throng. The two started bouncing up and down as soon as he waved back at them.
Sofia, who is 25 years old, wore an outfit that was appropriate for the event, which consisted of a white sweatshirt with a vivid print of her father’s face and name.
In the comments portion of the video, Sofia made light of the fact that she and Nicole, 41, reacted similarly to what they saw in the video by writing “.”
In the previous month, Sofia said that she had attempted to follow in her renowned father’s musical footsteps, but that the move “didn’t feel right.”
She said this in an interview with Town & Country that was conducted in September. “I spent a lot of time just trying to find my place in the world,” she added. I believe that as children are growing up, they have an innate desire to become their parents. I had a lot of respect for my father, and because of that, I first pursued a career in music. But I just didn’t get a good vibe from it.
The model proceeded by saying, “And after that, everyone told me, ‘You should be an actor!'” I gave it a go for a while, but ultimately I realized that it wasn’t me either. I did not have the necessary experience, and I did not want to be one of those child celebs who got the job only because of who my father is. Therefore, I said to myself, “You Know What? I am well aware that this is not the path for me. Allow me to just be who I am.'”
The American Idol judge and his second wife, Diane Alexander, have custody of their daughter Sofia. The couple also raised their son, Miles Brockman, who is 29 years old.
Nicole is a joint responsibility of Lionel and his first wife, Brenda Harvey-Richie. When Nicole was 9 years old, her formerly married parents decided to adopt her.
In February of 2022, Lionel gave an interview to PEOPLE in which he said that Nicole “was actually a godsend.” “She was a little girl who needed to be given an injection. She was used to people entering and exiting the room. When she glanced at me, I would respond, “I’m not going anywhere,” and she would smile.
