NextImg:Sofia Richie converts to Judaism ahead of Elliot Grainge wedding

She’s ready to say “I Jew.”

Sofia Richie revealed she converted to Judaism ahead of her wedding to her fiancé, Elliot Grainge.

“What a magical day,” she wrote on her Instagram Story Monday over a photo of herself signing a document written in Hebrew.

Richie, 24, thanked a cantor, Nathan Lam, for “helping” her throughout her “journey” to change her religion.

“It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Today was that day!!!” she concluded, adding five Star of David emojis.

Richie was raised Christian.

The daughter of Lionel Richie was raised Christian and even attended Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, Calif., for a few years.

Sofia also has openly discussed the importance of her faith. In 2016, she recalled watching a Bible study about “loving your neighbor” and feeling that the concept was “really cool and important.”

“First of all, you need to love yourself ’cause that’s the only way you’re going to get by and be OK as an individual,” she told Complex at the time. “But it’s important to make other people feel loved because you never know what they’re going through.”

Grainge, for his part, was raised Jewish and became a bar mitzvah when he was younger.

He is the son of Universal Music Group chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge.

Elliot, who is also a music executive, proposed to Sofia in April 2022, one year after making their relationship Instagram-official.

“Forever isn’t long enough @elliot,” the bride-to-be wrote on Instagram at the time along with photos of her future husband getting down on one knee.

Sofia celebrated her bachelorette party in Paris with her sister, Nicole Richie, by her side in October 2022.

The “Simple Life” alum, 41, also attended the model’s luxurious bridal shower in February. Sofia’s mom, Diane Alexander, was there, too, and even Elliot, 29, made an appearance.

Sofia started dating Elliot after being linked to Matthew Morton, the son of restaurateur Peter Morton in October 2020.

She most famously dated Scott Disick, who is also Jewish, for nearly three years.

Sofia and the “Kardashians” star, 39, broke up in May 2020.
