While in an interview with People magazine, Richie revealed, "I am now going to spoil yet another child in the world... And I am not quite sure what the child will do to me, but I'm hoping that the child gives the parents a bit of a run because every parent wants to get even as to what you did to me."

Answering the questions about his daughter's motherhood, Richie exclaimed, "Sofia is going to become a fantastic mother." He added, "These are two loving parents, and I don't think they really know what's coming because every kid is different. So, no matter what advice I give them, there's no manual for this. They'll figure it out."
