For a long time, a lot of people recognized Sofia because of her high-profile relationship with now-ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. As it happens, though, Sofia has been in the spotlight for years. Not only is her dad a world-famous singer, but her sister, Nicole Richie, is also a designer, model and actress.

While Sofia’s current passions are modeling, acting and fashion, when she was younger, she wanted to follow in her dad’s footsteps and become a singer. How sweet! It wasn’t until she landed a feature in Teen Vogue at the age of 14 that she decided to make the switch.

Even though Sofia was only 16 years old in 2015, she was quickly becoming somewhat of a red carpet icon. Much like her older sister, the word “socialite” was often used to describe her.  Of course, as we now know, she’s so much more than that.

“They actually laugh over people saying that they have nothing in common or she’s too immature for him, because she’s the one who takes care of him!” a source previously told Life & Style.  “Let’s not forget that before they started dating Scott was partying a lot — and you don’t see that side of him anymore.”

“He’s never out getting too out of control and that’s because Sofia has created a stable life for him,” the source continued. “She loves to plan outdoor adventures for the two of them, like an early evening hike or order in sushi or go to low-key date nights and watch movies.”

“In the beginning, I think she felt pressure because [Kourtney Kardashian] always has everything in order — has schedules planned weeks and days in advance — but now they’ve gotten into their own routine and she’s a very calming influence for Scott,” the source concluded.
