Sofia Richie Grainge Addresses Husband Cheating Rumors with Humor on TikTok
Sofia Richie Grainge, the 26-year-old media personality and new mom, has never been one to let online rumors get under her skin. This week, she once again showed her poise and sense of humor by responding to a wave of viral accusations that her husband, record executive Elliot Grainge, had allegedly cheated on her. Instead of offering a statement or ignoring the chatter, Sofia and Elliot tackled the speculation in a playful and very public way—through a now-viral TikTok video.
How the Rumors Started—and How Sofia Responded
Social media erupted with claims about Elliot’s fidelity, pushing Sofia into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The rumors ranged from unfounded gossip to outright personal attacks. Rather than respond with indignation, Sofia chose levity.
In their TikTok video, the couple is relaxed on their bed. Elliot reads out some of the most outlandish accusations from a separate video, including “Get that coin, sis,” and “Why wouldn’t she want to be single again?” Rather than get upset, Sofia bursts out laughing at the comments, and Elliot keeps the mood light, at one point joking, “Don’t do that, Soph.” When Elliot read another especially absurd claim—“She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well, she should divorce him and take his child support money”—the couple found it equally hilarious.
The video’s humor peaks when Elliot incredulously responds to a comment questioning whether he could ever cheat on Sofia: “What am I? Shrek?”
Sofia captioned the TikTok with her own tongue-in-cheek humor: "I had to break it to my husband that he’s not the people’s princess." The post immediately went viral, with fans and gossip watchers weighing in on both TikTok and Instagram, praising the couple for handling the situation with such grace and wit. You can watch the popular clip on platforms like TikTok or see how major outlets covered it on Instagram.
Grace Under Fire—And Business As Usual
After addressing the drama in her distinctly light-hearted way, Sofia returned to her usual Instagram activity—sharing glimpses of her stylish, envy-inducing life. It’s clear that, for Sofia, rumors like these are little more than background noise. Her priority remains her family, including her and Elliot’s baby daughter Eloise, and their daily life together.
The way Sofia and Elliot responded is being hailed as a masterclass in shutting down baseless rumors without losing composure. Rather than fuel the gossip mill, they effectively dismissed the accusations and turned the situation into an opportunity to show their genuine bond and humor.
Online Reaction to Sofia’s TikTok
The response from fans and followers was swift and overwhelmingly positive. Many people took to Instagram and Twitter to applaud the couple for addressing the rumor so publicly and directly, with a refreshing lack of drama. One popular Instagram post summed up public opinion: “This is how you shut down rumors—with a laugh and love.” On TikTok, the comment sections filled with support, memes, and jokes referencing Elliot’s “Shrek” quip.
Continuing to Live Her Best Life
Even as tabloids and internet forums continued to speculate, Sofia chose to focus on her own happiness, sharing personal moments with Elliot and Eloise. Her effortless confidence and chic lifestyle remain on display, reminding fans why she’s such a beloved figure online.
