Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge are laughing off rumors about their marriage.
The couple addressed speculation that Grainge, 31, is cheating on Richie, 26, in a TikTok video that the model posted on June 5.
In the clip, Richie filmed herself reacting to Grainge lying in bed reading comments about their relationship aloud from his phone.
“’Why wouldn’t she want to be single again?” Grainge read as Richie laughed.
“They got married? She should divorce him and take his child support money,” another mean comment said.
Grainge also read aloud, “’That? Cheating on her?’”
“That is mean,” the Atlantic Records CEO said in response.
“That is mean,” Richie agreed.
“What am I, Shrek?” Grainge added as Richie cracked up in front of the camera.
Richie captioned her TikTok, “I had to break it to my husband that he’s not the people’s princess.”
In the comments, fans stuck up for the couple who tied the knot in the French Riviera in 2023.
“Never doubted this man! He loves her, people are weird,” one person wrote.
“Best way to silence haters,” another person noted.
A third TikToker added, “This is the best way to deal with gossip that I’ve ever seen. Perfect no notes.”
“‘That’s really mean’ was really heartfelt,” a different fan wrote with a laughing emoji.
“She’s so funny for this,” someone else said about Richie.
After shutting down the cheating rumors, the couple, who share 1-year-old daughter Eloise, celebrated Father’s Day over the weekend.
Richie marked the holiday on her Instagram Stories with a picture of Eloise sitting on Grainge’s shoulders.
“Happy Father’s Day. Our girl is lucky to have you,” she wrote.
Grainge and Richie said “I do” during an opulent star-studded ceremony at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France in April 2023.
Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, opened up about her romance with Grainge in an interview with WhoWhatWear a few months after their wedding.
“We started off just as friends. I would always tell him, ‘Whoever you end up with is the luckiest girl.’ I thought that person is going to be really loved, appreciated and worshipped,” Richie said, adding, “And then I realized one day … Why can’t that lucky girl be me?”
She continued, “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,” Richie stated. “It wasn’t a ‘Do you think one day he’ll propose?’ It was like, ‘This is my husband — 100%.’ I felt this love for him that I never felt ever in my life.”
