Caitlyn Jenner Finds Solace with Sophia Hutchins' Mother Amidst Heartbreaking Loss

Caitlyn Jenner suffered a big loss this week when her right hand woman, Sophia Hutchins, 29, died on July 2. And on Saturday morning, Jenner was spotted with Sophia's mother while out together in Malibu

SHOCKING TRAGEDY ROCKS CAITLYN JENNER'S WORLD: CLOSE FRIEND AND MANAGER SOPHIA HUTCHINS DEAD IN HORROR ATV CRASH

In a devastating blow, Caitlyn Jenner has suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of her right-hand woman and close friend Sophia Hutchins in a horrific ATV crash on July 2. The 29-year-old transgender businesswoman was more than just a manager to Caitlyn; she was a confidante, a partner, and a member of her inner circle.

According to sources close to the Olympian, Caitlyn was spotted finding comfort with Sophia's mother in Malibu on Saturday morning, just a day after the tragedy. The usually stoic star looked visibly shaken as she walked ahead of Sophia's mom, who wore a long-sleeved green T-shirt and knee-length white shorts.

But what makes this tragedy even more tragic is that Sophia was not just Caitlyn's manager; she was also her friend. The two had been inseparable for over a decade, with Sophia moving into Caitlyn's $3.5 million Malibu mansion in 2017 to take on the role of her manager. But despite their professional relationship, sources close to the family revealed that Sophia and Caitlyn were more than just colleagues.

"Caitlyn is like a parent to me," Sophia had once said in an interview with The New York Times. "It's a parental, familial relationship." And it seems that statement rings true, as Caitlyn was often seen supporting Sophia at various events and functions.

But despite their close bond, the two women never crossed any lines into romance. In fact, Sophia had spoken about how she and Caitlyn were "never romantically involved," insisting that their relationship was purely platonic. "We're just work friends," she had said in an interview with TheScholarlyNote.com.

The news of Sophia's passing sent shockwaves through the Kardashian-Jenner family, with sources revealing that Caitlyn was devastated by the loss. And it seems that she is not alone in her grief; sources close to the family revealed that Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kendall, and Kylie were all deeply affected by Sophia's passing.

In fact, Sophia had spoken about how close she was to the entire family, especially Kris, Kim, Kylie, and Kendall. "I'm on good terms with all the family, but I'm closest with Kris, Kim, Kylie, and Kendall," she had said in an interview with TheScholarlyNote.com.

But what makes this story even more interesting is that Sophia's journey to self-discovery and acceptance was not easy. Born Scott Hutchins, Sophia began her transition while attending college at Pepperdine University in 2016. But it wasn't until Caitlyn's iconic 20/20 interview that Sophia felt empowered to take control of her life.

Hutchins, like Jenner, was transgender and cited the father-of-six as the inspiration for coming out in college at Pepperdine University in 2016; the pair seen in 2019

"I've always had the question of 'Do I want to transition from male to female?'" Sophia had said in an interview with her school newspaper. "I never thought a lot about doing it until I got into college because I was able to break away from my family and started to establish my own identity."

And after watching Caitlyn's interview, Sophia explained that it made everything "so much more real" for her. "Like normal and successful people do this, and people are okay when they do it," she had said.

But despite the challenges she faced, Sophia remained determined to live her truth. In 2019, she appeared on Jim Breslo's Hidden Truth Show, where she got candid about her gender identity and struggles with dysmorphia.

"I truly feel my spirit, my soul, my mind is exactly the same," Sophia had said. "I am just so much more comfortable physically."

And it seems that Sophia's courage and determination inspired countless people around the world. But now, as Caitlyn navigates this difficult time without her dear friend by her side, the entire Kardashian-Jenner family is rallying around her to offer support.

As for Sophia's legacy, it will undoubtedly live on through the countless lives she touched during her journey. And as for Caitlyn, sources close to the family revealed that she is taking some much-needed time off to grieve and reflect on the impact Sophia had on her life.

In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, a source close to the family revealed that Caitlyn is "going through tough times" and is "not ready to talk about Sophia yet." But as the days go by, it's clear that Caitlyn will need all the support she can get from her loved ones, including Kris, Kim, Kendall, Kylie, and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Despite living under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that they 'were never romantically involved', insisting it was all about work and friendship
