Sofia Richie was born to musician Lionel Richie and his second wife Diane Alexander. She is the younger sister of Nicole Richie and Miles Richie. Sofia Richie’s godfather was singer Michael Jackson. She reported that her visits to Jackson’s Neverland Ranch were some of her favorite memories as a child, and she became close friends with his daughter, Paris.
Richie grew up with an affinity for music like her father. She learned to sing at age five and play the piano at age seven. She made occasional appearances at her father’s shows and took vocal lessons from vocal coach, Tim Carter, when she was 14, as well. She also worked in the studio with her brother-in-law, Good Charlotte lead vocalist Joel Madden. However, she decided to move away from a music career because of the pressure of living up to her father’s stature in the music industry. She made several appearances in her sister Nicole’s reality television series Candidly Nicole in 2014.
Richie spent some time at Oaks Christian School—nicknamed “Celebrity High”—before being educated at home for several years while her father was on tour. She played soccer until age 16 when she broke her hip in a Segway accident.
