Lionel Richie Shares Sweet Throwback Photos to Wish Daughter Sofia Richie Happy Birthday
“‘Today is the day’," Lionel Richie posted alongside the images on his Instagram
Lionel Richie is celebrating his daughter Sofia Richie Grainge.
The model celebrated her 25th birthday on Thursday and her father Lionel, 74, and sister Nicole Richie were among many friends and family to celebrate.
“Today is the day @sofiarichiegrange,” the “Hello” singer wrote alongside a birthday cake and laughing face emoji as he shared throwback pictures of Sofia on his Instagram Story — including a photo of a baby Sofia pouting to the camera beside a table.
A second photo showed a slightly older Sofia smiling at the camera and cuddling her dad in a sweet family moment.
Nicole, 41, also gave her sister some birthday love on Thursday by sharing a humorous video of her on her Instagram story. In the clip, Nicole can be seen hitting an excited Sofia on the head with a balloon. Appearing to be in great spirits, Sofia then jumps around the room in a shiny leather jacket and a pair of chunky loafers.
“I love you @sofiarichiegrange,” Nicole added as she shared another throwback snap of her carrying a little Sofia on her back.
Lionel shares Sofia and her older brother Miles Brockman, 29, with his former wife, Diane. He also adopted Nicole as a 9-year-old during his previous marriage to first wife Brenda Harvey.
Sharing pictures of Sofia and Nicole, Paris Hilton also wished her “sis” a Happy Birthday on Thursday.

“We recapped the night and ordered big bowls of pasta along with every French food you could imagine,” Richie told Vogue after the wedding. “We just sat around recapping until the morning. It was great!”
