n conversation with Vogue magazine, Sofia opened up about when and how she found out about her pregnancy.

“I found out very, very early, I was about four weeks pregnant. I was on a trip to Milan for Fashion Week, and I was going to the Prada show. I was doing a really quick 24-hour turnaround, and I felt terrible but didn’t think much of it. I thought it was jet lag”, she tells the publication.

 

She further notes that when before taking a pregnancy test, her husband sat her down and gently reassured to not be upset, should they come out negative.

“… he’s such a sweet guy he always wants to protect my emotions and expectations, so he kind of sat me down and said, ‘If these are negative, don’t be upset. Our moment will come’”, Sofia Richie shared.

The model continued: “When we turned over all three tests at the same time, they were all positive. He was so excited, and we both cried. It was crazy and overwhelming and so hard not to scream it from the rooftops. But knowing I was so early; I was so protective—even with my friends”.

While chatting to Vogue magazine, Sofia also mentioned that she was expecting a baby girl.

“She’s growing pretty fast, so [the due date] is a bit up in the air”, Richie noted.

She also tells the magazine that she initially thought she was having a boy, she added; “We both really thought it was a boy, so it was a true shock”.

“My dream in life is to have a daughter [though], and Elliot is really excited for a girl too. I think it’s so typical for boys to want boys, but he has a lot of sisters. It was really sweet. He’s very sensitive”.

Sofia and Elliot also shared their stern decision to keep news of her pregnancy quiet and private.

“Pregnancy is really scary and you want to protect that space. I didn’t realize there are so many milestones you have to hit and so many tests you have to take. For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple”, Sofia Richie explained.
