Sofia Richie shows off her bikini body while taking on wakeboarding!
The daughter of Lionel Richie and his ex-wife Diane Alexander shared a glimpse into her water sports session in the ocean on her Instagram account this week. Richie shared a video of herself riding her board with her fiancé Elliot Grainge.
The video was actually taken by Grainge's sister, Alice, and the fashion designer reposted it on her Instagram Story.
Displaying Her Mad Skills On The Board
The clip began with Richie showing off her skills in the middle of the ocean. She was filmed from behind, which gave fans a glimpse at her pert booty in her swimwear. The 23-year-old was balancing herself on a self-propelled wakeboard -- going in a curved direction. Meanwhile, the 28-year-old music executive was floating a few meters from her with his wakeboard.
Richie kept her form as she surfed with the shoreline miles away in the background. She bent down slightly in her booty-baring, light-colored bikini bottoms that showed off her toned legs. The model paired it with a black and fuchsia life jacket which flashed her navel and showed off her slim waist.
Happy & So In Love
In her stories, Richie also shared a sweet selfie of the couple, adding a note which read, "My🤍." She rocked a white tank top while hugging Grainge, who sported a black t-shirt. Both had sunglasses on while smiling at the camera and facing the sunshine.
Walking Down The Aisle Soon
In April, Richie and Grainge got engaged after more than one year of dating.
"Forever isn't long enough @elliot," she captioned a series of proposal photos shared on Instagram.
Rumors of their romance started swirling in January 2021 following Richie's brief relationships with Gil Ofer and Matthew Morton. The model posted an elevator selfie with Grainge a few months later, which seemingly confirmed the pair's relationship.
A source revealed to Us Weekly that Richie and Grainge were "very happy" with how things were progressing.
"They started out as friends before they became a couple, and are now getting serious," the insider said in April 2021. "Their relationship took off and they have been getting closer and closer and spend practically every day together."
Celebrating Love
A month after their engagement, Richie and Grainge celebrated their upcoming nuptials with a romantic, floral-themed party. On May 30, she shared pictures from the private bash attended by close friends and family, including her sister Nicole Richie and brother-in-law Joel Madden.
Sofia Richie's Family Didn't Like Scott Disick For Her
Richie moved on with Grainge after splitting from her boyfriend of three years, Scott Disick, of whom she has a 16-year age gap.
"Sofia's family think she is way better off without him. They have been advising her to do her own thing, especially during the [coronavirus] quarantine," a source told the outlet in September 2020.
The insider added, "She has been separating herself from the equation and it has been the healthy thing for her and her family. … Sofia is a family girl and knowing her sister and dad haven't approved of him from the beginning has been a big thing for her."
