Is Sofia Richie adopted? Who are her parents?

Born on August 24th, 1998, she is the youngest kid of Lionel Richie and Diane. She is not adopted. Sofia is the biological kid of Lionel and his ex-wife Diane.

On the subject of adoption, Sofia’s sister Nicole Richie was adopted. One of Lionel’s bandmates asked him to become the legal guardian of Nicole. Lionel and his first wife Brenda took her in and when she turned nine, they officially adopted her.

So Sofia is not the adopted one but her eldest sister is.

Sofia has one biological brother and one adoptive sister

Sofia’s father Lionel has two other kids apart from herself. Lionel adopted Nicole Richie, born September 21st, 1981, Sofia’s eldest sister with his now ex-wife, Brenda Harvey-Richie. The former couple was married for 18-years before divorcing after he cheated on Brenda with his second wife, Diane.

There are a few celebrity kids who don’t have any sort of relationship with their half-siblings. For instance, Ryan Phillippe‘s kids with Reese Witherspoon, Ava Phillippe, and Deacon Phillippe. They don’t have any connection with Ryan’s daughter Alexis Knapp.

Sofia belongs to mixed-ethnicity

The 21-year-old belongs to mixed ethnicity. While her dad Lionel is African-American, her mom is white. However, she inherited fair skin because of which she is often mistaken as white.

Besides, Sofia is proud of her roots and has never shied away from speaking out against racism against black folks.

She once said in an interview back in 2016, “I’m very light, so some people don’t really know that I’m black. I’ve been in situations where people will say something kind of racist and I’ll step in and they’ll be like, ‘Oh, well, you’re light.”

She added, “That still doesn’t cut it, buddy. It’s 2016 — you better get your s*** together before you get slapped out here.”
