The model first revealed her pregnancy in January during an interview with Vogue, where she also disclosed that they were expecting a baby girl. Reflecting on her pregnancy, Sofia mentioned, "She's growing pretty fast, so [the due date] is a bit up in the air."
In a candid conversation with Vogue, Sofia shared her fascination with gender reveals saying, "I love the YouTubes and the TikToks - even before I was talking about getting pregnant - of gender reveals, so we had our OB text my assistant Becca [our baby's gender], and we bought two party poppers: one blue, one pink. She left out the one with the correct color inside, and Elliot and I popped it together."
To their surprise, they were expecting a girl, which Sofia has always dreamed of, and Elliot, known for being sensitive and having several sisters, was equally thrilled.
The couple's romance blossomed from a platonic relationship into one of deep connection and appreciation. They tied the knot in April 2023.
Recalling their love story, Sofia stated, "When we started being romantic, he just gave me a different feeling. It was a feeling of safety. It was the feeling of really being appreciated. I knew when we started dating that he was my husband. It wasn't a 'Do you think one day he'll propose?' It was like, 'This is my husband - 100 percent.' "
Throughout her pregnancy, Sofia documented her experience on social media, sharing both her excitement and apprehensions. In a heart-to-heart video on TikTok, she confessed, "I am seven months pregnant and I have been figuring out things that work for me, that don't work for me, that have helped me. I am so afraid of getting stretch marks. I know it comes with the territory but I'm doing everything I can to prevent." Holding up a tub of bumpology's Bump Butter, she explained her efforts to take care of her changing body.
