Model Sofia Richie Grainge has stirred up controversy after revealing that her five-month-old daughter Eloise already has an iPhone. The 26-year-old shared this detail on the Therapuss podcast hosted by Jake Shane, stating that she and her husband Elliot Grainge allowed Eloise to have her own phone, which she primarily uses to text messages to the infant. However, it was clarified that an adult with Eloise controls the phone.
During the podcast, Shane shared a message he sent to Eloise’s phone, in which he mentioned that he and Richie Grainge would be talking about Eloise on the podcast. Eloise’s response was humorous, stating that she hates him. Critics on social media quickly criticized the decision to give a baby an iPhone, with many calling it “psychotic” and “stupid.”
Sofia Richie Grainge announced her pregnancy in January and welcomed Eloise in May. The couple has been married since April 2023. Richie Grainge found out about her pregnancy early and initially attributed her symptoms to jet lag during a trip to Milan for fashion week. Since then, the couple has been doting on their daughter, despite the backlash about her having a phone at such a young age.
The reveal of Eloise’s iPhone has certainly sparked discussions online, with many questioning the decision while others find humor in the situation. Either way, baby Eloise’s experience with technology has become a talking point among followers of the model and her family.
