Sofia announced the pair were expecting in an interview with Vogue back in January, admitting they were convinced they were having a little boy. "It was a true shock. My dream in life is to have a daughter [though], and Elliot is really excited for a girl too.
"I think it's so typical for boys to want boys, but he has a lot of sisters. It was really sweet. He's very sensitive," she added. The couple tied the knot in April last year in a lavish ceremony in the South of France, around the time they were trying for a baby.
It comes days after Lionel said his daughter was "having a breakdown" as her baby's due date approached. The now granddad broke the news on US chat show Extra, indicating Sofia's increasing nervousness as she expects her first child with Elliot.
Lionel said his daughter was 'having a breakdown' (BANG Showbiz.)He joked around on the show saying: "My life is so full right now. My baby is now having a baby, what the heck is going on? Elliot and Sofia are about to have a nervous breakdown, but I've told her to calm down. I say 'When the baby comes, then you can have a nervous breakdown!' It's just a great time!"
The 74-year-old American Idol judge is no stranger to grandparenthood, with Harlow, aged 16, and Sparrow, aged 14, through his adopted daughter Nicole Richie. Lionel confessed his excitement to relive the wonderful journey with Sofia and Elliot.
Sharing his anticipation, he said: "Of course, let me tell you something, we're all loving it. I'm over the moon and trying to stay calm. I'm just so excited. For them, I know this is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!".
The singer, who also shares son Miles, 29, with ex-wife Diane Alexander, recently confessed finding out Sofia was pregnant felt quite unreal. "I'm watching my baby having a baby. Yikes! I mean, that just kind of freaked me out a little bit. But at the same time, Elliot and Sofia are such a force. This little baby is gonna be souped up like you've never seen before. It's amazing."
