Sofia and her mum are super close. The model never misses an opportunity to share a tribute to her on Mother's Day. For example, in May 2021, Sofia gushed over her mom on Instagram by writing, "I am the luckiest girl in the entire world to have you as my mom! Best friend for life, Love you @dianekrichie." To go along with her message, Sofia posted a series of photos with Alexander over the years, including one of the pair toasting their drinks together. Meanwhile, another picture showed Sofia as a toddler being embraced by her mother.
Alexander also constantly posts about Sofia on her own Instagram. In September 2020, the fashion designer gushed over Sofia in honour of National Daughters Day. "Everyday is National daughter day to me," Alexander wrote alongside photos of her with Sofia. "Thank you for giving me the honour @sofiarichie 🙏🏼 it's been my pleasure being your mama. I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. ❤️"
Sofia may have grown up in a famous family, but her parents tried to give her as normal of a childhood as possible. For example, Alexander taught Sofia and Miles the importance of hard work by having them do chores around the house in order to earn their allowances. Lionel would also remind Sofia about his humble beginnings to get her to appreciate how far their family had come over the years. "He grew up in a small house and they didn't have much, so he is like, 'You guys are way more blessed than I was.' We go back to Alabama all the time. He still has the same house that he grew up in," Sofia told the Evening Standard in March 2016.
