Sofia Richie Grainge has faced backlash from social media users after revealing that her five-month-old daughter Eloise already owns an iPhone. The 26-year-old model discussed her daughter, whom she shares with husband Elliot Grainge, on Thursday's episode of the Therapuss podcast, hosted by social media influencer Jake Shane.

Shane, 25, disclosed that Eloise has a 'little baby phone' and shared a text conversation he had with the infant—relayed through a proxy. 'Eloise has a little baby phone, that we get to text, or I like to text,' Shane revealed. 'She does!' Richie confirmed, before Shane provided an example of his messages to the child. 'I say, 'Good morning, Eloise!'' he explained.

However, similar to many celebrity Instagram accounts, Eloise is not the one managing the phone. 'Whoever is with Eloise gets the phone,' Richie Grainge explained. 'So, at that very moment, [friend] Ali [Meller] was sitting with Eloise.' Shane then shared a message he sent to Eloise's phone before the podcast recording. 'I said, 'Eloise do you mind if me and your mommy talk about how perfect you are on the podcast today?' And she said, 'No, keep my name out of your mouth.' And I said, 'Eloise, excuse me.' She said, 'I hate you.' 'We had a talking,' Richie Grainge responded wryly. 'Eloise has a little bit of an attitude,' Shane quipped back.

Some online users were appalled that baby Eloise already has a phone, though it's uncertain if they considered the context. 'This is horrible and psychotic,' one person posted on X. 'Unbelievable,' another wrote, while someone else commented, 'That is so sad and stupid! She is 5 months!' The commenter also included a GIF of comedian Steve Harvey saying, 'Oh, you crazy' in their post.

Richie Grainge, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, and Elliot Grainge announced in January that they were expecting a baby. 'I found out very, very early,' Sofia told Vogue at the time. 'I was about four weeks pregnant. I was on a trip to Milan for fashion week, and I was going to the Prada show. I was doing a really quick 24-hour turnaround, and I felt terrible but didn't think much of it. I thought it was jet lag.' The couple, who married in April 2023 at an opulent star-studded ceremony at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the South of France, welcomed baby Eloise in May.
