Richie Grainge, who is now six months pregnant, told Vogue that she wanted to wait to share her big secret with the world because “pregnancy is so scary and you want to protect that space.”
“I found out very, very early,” Richie Grainge told the magazine. “It was crazy, overwhelming and very difficult not to shout it from the rooftops. But knowing that it had arrived so early, I was very protective, even with my friends.”
The Grainges tied the knot in a grand affair last April in the south of France, where the model donned a Chanel dress and walked down the aisle with her father, singer Lionel Richie.
She told Vogue that she and her husband have been trying to have a baby since their wedding. She had taken pregnancy tests before, but she knew this time was different.
The couple surprised their parents with the news of the pregnancy at eight weeks and have been setting up a nursery, acclimating to the hormonal changes and learning more about the process. Richie Grainge told Vogue that it’s been interesting to see “what the female body is capable of.”
She also explained that because of her own experience growing up in a famous family, she hopes to be mindful of her daughter’s privacy.
“I want my son to be a boy, I’m not going to advertise it on Instagram,” he said. “If he wants to be a private person, I want him to be able to make that decision, and if he wants to be a public person, he can make that decision for himself.”
