The legendary singer beamed as he escorted his youngest child, exclaiming, "That's my kid!"

Legendary singer, Lionel Richie, walked his youngest daughter down the aisle in her glamorous wedding in Antibes, France this weekend.

Sofia Richie, 24, wed music executive Elliot Grainge on Saturday at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France.

According to People, in a video shared to Sofia's TikTok, the proud papa can be heard declaring, "That's My Kid," referring to his daughter. She is the youngest of his three children, he is also father to Miles Brockman, 28, and daughter Nicole, 41. 

Sofia's husband is the son of Universal Music Group CEO and Chairman, Sir Lucien Grainge. The couple's families have known each other for years, a fact that Richie confirmed last year when the engagement was announced.

"I love Elliot," Richie told Access Hollywood on April 26 shortly after his daughter's announcement. "I've known him since he was 12 … It was one of those things where I don't have to go back and check out the kid. I know who it is."

According to People, Sofia was gifted a beautiful pair of handcrafted earrings by her big sister Nicole for her wedding day. The fashion designer and former reality show star wrote in an Instagram story on Monday, "Making these earrings for my sister is a moment I will never forget." In the photo, the bride is seen in her gown wearing the gifted earrings with a slicked-back bun.

Social media fashion influencers say that Sofia Richie wore three custom Chanel dresses for the ceremony and reception. 

Richie has been keeping busy. The 73-year-old Grammy Award winner has a popular residency in Las Vegas called Lionel Richie: King of Hearts. According to a recent tweet, the show has been extended with six more dates later this year.
