Taking to Instagram, the daughter of Lionel Richie wrote: ‘What a magical day. I want to thank cantor Nathan Lam for helping me along this journey of converting to Judaism.

‘It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Today was that day!!!’

Sofia was raised as a Christian and spent two years at a Christian school, Oaks Christian.

She previously told Complex of her upbringing: ‘I went there for two years, and that’s where I got my sense. My family wanted church to be a place where we all went together.
