Sophia Hutchins says she and Caitlyn Jenner were never “romantically involved”

Sophia Hutchins addresses speculation regarding her relationship with Caitlyn Jenner.

Recently, it had been rumoured that Sophia and Caitlyn were a couple but in a recent interview, Sophia clarified their relationship and says it's not of a romantic nature. In conversation with The New York Times, Sophia said they have a very close friendship and she is Caitlyn's live-in manager but reports of them being involved romantically are untrue. More specifically, this never happened, "we were never romantically involved.” The 23-year-old went on to say that she has a boyfriend aged 30, a Harvard graduate currently working on Wall Street. When asked, Sophia said that the rumours persisted because both she and Caitlyn chose not to comment and also explained why.

"I don’t feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to".

It seems that now is the right time to clarify things as Caitlyn has received a large amount of press coverage since deciding to join the recent series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here. Sophia flew out to greet her after she was voted off the show and much has been made of the fact that she made the journey to Australia when none of Caitlyn's children did. Brandon Jenner and Kim Kardashian have since waded in to have their say but that hasn't stopped people from questioning what exactly went on. Caitlyn and Sophia first met when Sophia's makeup artist introduced them, thinking they "would hit it off", they went for brunch and "have been great friends ever since". Not only that, Sophia has become part of the extended Kardashin/Jenner clan and says "I’m on good terms with all the family, but I’m closest with Kris, Kim, Kylie and Kendall". Kris Jenner used to manage Caitlyn but after they split, this role was now vacant and Sophia persuaded that Caitlyn that she was a good fit with the duo going on to make "a lot of money" together. Previous estimations say that Caitlyn's I'm A Celeb was the highest ever recorded and this was down to Sophia's negotiating skills, it seems. Main image via Instagram: Caitlyn Jenner
