Lionel and ex-wife Diane were married from 1995 to 2004 and share both Sofia and Miles.
Nicole is Lionel’s adoptive daughter. He and ex-wife Brenda Harvey Richie took her in when she was just three years old, after her birth parents decided the couple could take better care of their daughter.
Lionel and Brenda legally adopted Nicole when she was nine years old.
Nicole has a close relationship with sister Sofia and shared a touching post shortly after the wedding.
It featured a photo of Nicole fitting the train into Sofia’s custom Chanel wedding dress, as well as snaps of what she chose to wear for the big day.
“I love you more than anything,” the Simple Life star wrote. Sofia quickly replied, “I love you more than life.”
Notably, A-list actress Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden attended the wedding, as did their three-year-old daughter Maddix.
Benji’s twin brother Joel Madden is Nicole’s husband and the father of her two children.
Paris Hilton – who starred alongside Nicole on the popular reality series The Simple Life – and her husband Carter Reum also showed up in support of the bride and groom.
Sofia gave Fashion the scoop on her day-long wedding spectacle, with beach tents and an extravagant rehearsal dinner on Friday 21 April.

She answered some questions just before exchanging vows with Elliot.
“I’m so excited because I’m getting married to Elliot, I know that sounds cheesy but he’s the man of my dreams,” the social media influencer gushed.
She also predicted that Elliot would be head over heels for her wedding dress, which was absolutely stunning with sparkling sequins and a flattering halter neckline.
“I really think Elliot will love it,” Sofia answered confidently. “He’s my biggest cheerleader when it comes to everything I wear. If he doesn’t cry, I’ll be very sad.’
The couple started out as friends before taking their relationship to a romantic level in 2021 following Sofia’s divorce from Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy Scott Disick, 39.
Elliot is the son of Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge and is the CEO of 10K Projects, which recently signed rapper Ice Spice.
The couple got engaged in April 2022 after just over a year of dating.
Earlier this month, Sofia revealed she had officially converted to Judaism prior to her marriage to Elliot, who is Jewish.
Sofia grew up Christian and spent two years at a Christian school, Oaks Christian.
Sofia called the conversion “one of the greatest experiences of my life.”
Lionel has nothing but kind things to say about his daughter’s future husband.
He told Access Hollywood last year that he is “so happy” for the couple and that he has also known Elliot for a long time through his father Lucian.
“I love Elliot, I’ve known him since he was 12,” Lionel gushed. “It was one of those things where I don’t have to go back and see the boy. I know who it is.’
The 73-year-old hitmaker also revealed that Elliot had asked permission to marry his daughter.
More recently, the Hello singer recalled walking his daughter down the aisle and how he felt “giving her away” to her husband.
“It was a moment where, yes, I let her go, but I also got a family. The family is getting huge now, but we are happy,” he said Additional.
Lionel also shared what he and Sofia talked about as they made their long walk to the altar arm in arm.
