Who Was Sophia Hutchins Before Caitlyn Jenner?

Meeting Caitlyn Jenner

So, how did Sophia go from student and entrepreneur to Caitlyn Jenner’s confidante? It’s a story as Southern Californian as it gets. Hutchins and Jenner reportedly met through their shared experiences of transitioning, bonding over their journeys in a way that few can understand. But contrary to what the tabloids might say, their relationship isn’t what you’d expect. While rumors flew about romance, Hutchins has clarified that their relationship is more about mutual support, friendship, and, of course, business.

Running the Caitlyn Jenner Empire

Not content to just stand in the background, Hutchins soon stepped into the role of CEO—of Caitlyn Jenner’s brand, that is. From handling public appearances to managing endorsements, Sophia is at the helm of Jenner’s business empire, using her economics chops to make big moves. And she’s not just a behind-the-scenes power player. Hutchins has become a vocal advocate for transgender rights and mental health awareness, using her platform to shine a light on causes that matter.
