Following the heartwarming news that Sofia Richie Graange has welcomed her baby boy, Henry, proud grandfather Lionel Richie is opening up about the joys of his expanding family. In a sweet reaction during a recent American Idol press event, the music icon expressed how his pride is "popping out" of his chest as he watches his children and grandchildren blossom.
The 76-year-old artist jokingly embraced his new identity as "Pop Pop," a title his four grandkids affectionately use. Sofia shared the first glimpse of baby Henry on Instagram, posting a tender photo of the newborn with his 23-month-old sister, Eloise.

For Lionel, the most rewarding part of this journey is simply seeing everyone happy and healthy as the family legacy continues to grow.
