From forcing a reality star to choose between romance and family to that time she came between
a pop star and his former girlfriend, Sofia Richie's past relationships were never short
on drama.
Sofia Richie and Jaden Smith reportedly go way back.
Outlets claim that the stars dated in 2012 when they were just 14 years old.
They appeared to rekindle their romance in 2020 after they were spotted frolicking on
a Los Angeles beach.
Of course, we can't assume they were actually dating just because they enjoyed a beach date together.
If the pair were an item, they certainly did a good job at hiding their relationship because
they weren't seen out and about as a couple very often.
Smith even denied the possibility of anything romantic between him and Richie in an interview
with "On-Air With Ryan Seacrest."
He told the host:
"[M]e and Sophia have been friends for like 10 years.
We've been going to the beach pretty consistently for 10 years too."
"And, yeah, we're just homies and we love each other and it was fun."
If Smith and Richie were just friends, they must have been pretty close because they didn't
mind a bit of PDA on the beach, according to an unnamed source.
The source told Us Weekly that Richie put her arms around Smith at one point.
Some of Sofia Richie's relationships were more low-key than others, such as her former
fling with rumored ex-boyfriend Jake Andrews.
The couple reportedly began dating in 2015 and it's unclear when exactly they broke up.
There is not much known about Andrews outside of what he shares on his Instagram account.
His bio reveals that he owns a streetwear clothing line called Shadow Hill.
Andrews' Instagram account also shows that he's moved on with a new relationship.
He shared a series of photos of him and a brunette model spending time together in honor
of her birthday.
Andrews wrote in the caption:
"Happy birthday to my dream girl.
I LOVE LOVE YOU."
Sofia Richie's reported relationship with French soccer star Samir Nasri caused quite
a bit of controversy.
The pair reportedly began dating when Nasri was 28, while Richie was only 17.
They were seen celebrating Nasri's 29th birthday at a nightclub in 2016.
The duo were photographed holding hands, but tried to put some distance between them after
they realized they had been spotted together.
Both Nasri and Richie attempted to cover their faces so that paparazzi couldn't snap photos.
Nasri even tried to hide behind the steering wheel of his Rolls Royce.
It might be safe to guess that the celebs wanted to hide their reported romance.
This isn't surprising considering the amount of controversy around their age gap.
Sofia Richie began dating Justin Bieber in 2016 in the midst of his on-again-off-again
relationship with Selena Gomez.
The model found herself caught in the middle of Bieber and Gomez's feud after the exes
shaded each other on Instagram.
Things got messy after Bieber shared a photo of Richie.
He addressed fans who had been sending hate to his new girlfriend, writing in the caption
of the since-deleted post:
"I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate this is getting out
of hand[.] [I]f you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like."
It seems that Gomez didn't appreciate what her ex had to say to fans because she wrote
in the comments of of Bieber's post,
"If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol -– it should
be special between you two only.
Don't be mad at your fans."
It seems that Richie opted to stay out of the drama because she kept quiet at the time.
The model reportedly only dated Bieber for a month during which time they enjoyed a few
vacations together.
Brooklyn Beckham and Sofia Richie were suspected to be dating from 2016 to 2017.
The duo didn't go public with a relationship, so there's a chance they were just friends.
However, we can't eliminate the possibility that they were romantically involved because
they did spend some time together.
The celebs reportedly went bowling together in January 2017.
The duo even enjoyed each other's company at a Justin Bieber concert.
Just like Richie, Beckham has since settled down.
In 2022, he tied the knot with Nicola Peltz, and the two seem to be a very happy couple.
Sofia Richie's relationship with Scott Disick was perhaps her most controversial.
The couple had a 15-year age gap, and of course, this became a topic of conversation online.
Their relationship also gained a bit of media attention after they briefly split and reunited.
They reportedly split for good in August 2020.
The public learned more about the events that led to their fallout during an episode of
"Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
Disick revealed that Richie felt that he wasn't giving her enough attention.
He said on the show:
"I thought I would give it a try and make her more of a priority, but then even when
doing that, I feel like she just started wanting to push Kourtney out."
"But I've always been clear that my priority has been my children, my life with them."
He went on to share that Richie asked him to choose between her and Kourtney Kardashian,
and this led to a breakup.
Sofia Richie and music executive Elliot Grainge went public with their relationship in 2021
with a series of Instagram photos.
They went on to document their relationship on social media and eventually announced their engagement.
In an Instagram post that captured the moment Grainge proposed, Richie wrote:
"Forever isn't long enough [...]"
After her engagement, Richie took to Instagram Stories to reveal she converted to Judaism
prior to her and Grainge's wedding.
The music executive is Jewish as well.
She wrote on Instagram:
"What a magical day.
I want to thank cantor Nathan Lam for helping me along this journey of converting to Judaism.
It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Today was that day!!!"
Richie and Grainge went on to tie the knot in an extravagant wedding in France in April 2023.
