Who was Sophia Hutchins? Tragic star’s transgender journey, unorthodox relationship with Caitlyn Jenner and support for Trump

BBG News

On Wednesday, Sophia Hutchins, a dear friend and manager to Caitlyn Jenner, tragically passed away at the age of 29 due to an unfortunate ATV incident in Malibu.

According to both law enforcement officials and her relatives, she was declared dead immediately following the accident where her ATV collided with another vehicle’s bumper, sending it plunging approximately 350 feet into a ravine close to her residence.

It is not known if Jenner was at home at the time of the accident or witnessed the crash. 

Hutchins formed a lasting friendship with Caitlyn many years ago, and during their time as students at Pepperdine University, Hutchins embarked on their own transgender journey.

A little over ten years back, in 2015, they initially met, and since then, Sophia frequently acknowledges Caitlyn Jenner (Kris Jenner’s former partner) as a source of inspiration for her transition process.

Just like Caitlyn, I’ve been an ardent advocate for Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, and I had the privilege of meeting him last year.

As a lifestyle authority, I delve into the fascinating narrative of Sophia, a transgender icon whose life intertwined with the Jenner family and political stances, particularly her support for Donald Trump, following her tragic demise. DailyMail.com offers an in-depth exploration of this captivating journey.

 

Transgender Journey

Sophia, who used to be known as Scott Hutchins, started her transition during her college years. It’s worth noting that she had felt female since she was young.

At Pepperdine, she started undergoing particular medical processes, including hormonal therapy and hair-removal techniques.

The businesswoman consulted with a therapist, who provided guidance during her process of deciding to transition. However, watching Jenner’s 20/20 interview, where the celebrity publicly announced her own transition, served as the catalyst that set everything in motion.

In a 2016 interview with her school paper, Hutchins pondered aloud, ‘Have I been considering the possibility of transitioning from being male to female?’

It wasn’t until I began college that the idea of doing it occurred to me more frequently, as I finally had the opportunity to separate myself from my family and forge my unique personality.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but acknowledge that my formative years at school were instrumental in helping me confront and manage numerous challenges that had long lingered within.

After seeing Caitlyn’s interview, Sophia conveyed that it felt incredibly authentic to her, as if ordinary, accomplished individuals undergo such transitions and society accepts them.

Hutchins ended up taking some time off of school in order to complete her gender transition.  

At fifteen years old, Hutchins recounted having told a friend for the first time that she identified as female.

As I was going about my day, I found myself expressing something that felt quite unexpected. It wasn’t intentional, you see, as I had grown accustomed to keeping it tucked away and moving on without giving it much thought. But today, somehow, it just slipped out.

2019 saw Sophia discussing her feelings regarding gender identity openly on the Jim Breslo’s Hidden Truth Show.

As a child as young as five, the media figure recalled discussing her feelings of gender dysphoria with her parents.

Following her transformation, Hutchins expressed, “I genuinely believe that my essence – spirit, soul, mind – remains unchanged. However, I’m significantly more at ease with my physical self now.

Before my transition, I strongly identified as female and felt as though I was indeed a girl, yet found myself confined within a body that didn’t align with that identity. I felt imprisoned by it.

She said, “I also required the hormones that would trigger physical changes, and for me, undergoing surgical procedures was necessary to alter my body.

‘But for me, that’s what I wanted to do, and that’s what made me ultimately so at peace.’ 

At Pepperdine, Hutchins served as the head of the LGBTQ+ committee within the Student Government Association (SGA) and was also a part of the university’s pioneering LGBTQ+ student group, Crossroads.

She previously held the position of CEO at a nonprofit organization named the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation as well.

The official site explains that they support organizations which strive for equality and combat discrimination, particularly for transgender individuals. This is achieved by providing grants to these groups, who in turn empower transgender people, improve their lives, and offer services such as anti-bullying initiatives, suicide prevention programs, healthcare resources, housing assistance, employment opportunities, and related projects.

 

Caitlyn Jenner relationship

In 2015, I was utterly smitten when I first crossed paths with the legendary Caitlyn. Fast forward two thrilling years, and I found myself moving into her breathtaking $3.5 million abode in Malibu, stepping up to manage this iconic figure.

She took over the role from Caitlyn’s ex-wife Kris Jenner, 69, after their 2015 divorce.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I frequently made appearances on Caitlyn Jenner’s E! reality show, “I Am Cait,” a captivating spin-off from the popular series “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” This intriguing program chronicled the remarkable journey of a beloved star navigating a life-changing transition.

The show only lasted two seasons, yet it offered a peek into the unique cohabitation of Jenner and Hutchins.

Even though they resided together, Hutchins once clarified to The New York Times that she and Jenner had never shared a romantic relationship. This idea has been consistently echoed by both individuals throughout the years.

She firmly stated that she had no intention of discussing her personal intimate matters, unless she chose to do so herself.

In a heart-to-heart chat with People back in 2021, I found myself overflowing with gratitude when Sophia mentioned the opportunity for us to join forces. Truly, it’s a dream come true to be working alongside Jenner!

Regarding her personal entrepreneurial endeavors, Hutchins held the position of CEO for the previously shuttered spray sunscreen company LUMASOL, which debuted in 2020 and received promotion from Kim Kardashian, Jenner’s stepdaughter.

Starting from around 2015, Hutchins frequently accompanied Jenner following the announcement of her groundbreaking transition, which took place soon after she made it public.

It’s said that they first met through their shared hairdresser, leading to the formation of a deep bond between them. This duo has enjoyed vacationing together as well as making appearances on red carpets.

Due to the strong connection they shared, there were persistent rumors about them being romantically involved throughout more than a decade of their friendship.

Reflecting back on 2018, I found myself often referring to Jenner as my partner and acknowledging our strong bond as being inseparable.

‘Hutchins explained on The Hidden Truth Show podcast that he doesn’t view our relationship as romantic. Instead, he refers to us as partners, particularly in a business context where he serves as the executive director of her foundation.’

On the contrary, both Jenner and Hutchins have deliberately tried to dispel the rumors about their romantic relationship in public.

2021 found me, your humble fan, eagerly sharing the news that Hutchins made clear to People – she’s never harbored any romantic feelings for her lifelong buddy.

She expressed that she prefers avoiding conflicts, focusing instead on living her life. She considers Caitlyn as a parent figure in her life, a bond that’s deeply rooted in family ties, a sentiment she has shared many times before.

She firmly stated, “There’s absolutely nothing inappropriate going on,” adding, “It seems like I’ve been repeating this for the last five years.

Last year, during their attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Jenner – formerly known as Bruce Jenner prior to her transition and who was married three times – referred to herself as being ‘very unattached’.

In a 2019 interview on Good Morning Britain, Hutchins had already refuted claims suggesting she was living off Caitlyn.

She shared with viewers that although people may perceive her as being dependent on Caitlyn, she actually has a job and her own professional pursuits that require her attention.

During that very interview, I found myself commending Caitlyn Jenner for her extraordinary selflessness – a trait that truly sets her apart.

 

Vocal Trump supporter

Over time, Sophia has openly expressed her backing for Donald Trump and frequently shares photos of herself wearing a MAGA hat on her social media platforms.

Towards the end of last year, in November specifically, she posted images that seemed to depict Trump’s residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, during the election evening.

During that period, she wrote: ‘On Election Night, I celebrated with around 500 dear friends! It was a heartfelt celebration! I doubt if anyone managed to get any sleep for the following 48 hours!’

In a bustling setting, Hutchins was captured smiling with a small group at a table, while Jenner was observed seated in close proximity.

Last year, Hutchins had the opportunity to meet the billionaire.

She shared a picture of herself smiling next to Trump, standing before an American flag. The caption read: “Our movement to preserve America is more energized, passionate, and dedicated than ever! We shall never yield.

This past January, Hutchins shared a picture on Instagram featuring herself, Jenner, Judge Jeanine Pirro, and other prominent MAGA figures, all joyously celebrating President Trump’s inauguration.

Sophia also made appearances in segments for Fox News – which she shared to her Instagram page. 

Prior to the 2024 presidential election, Hutchins was frequently featured on the network as a representative or supporter for Trump’s campaign.

Additionally, she openly shared with her social media audience that she had cast her vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.

Sophia shared additional clips from election night and penned: “What a rollercoaster! From the convention and inauguration back in 2016, to 2020 and beyond, even the craziest campaign in U.S. history in 2024, I feel as though they are like my very own family.

I’m committed to continuing my efforts for America as directed – we’ve come this far, and I have no intention of slowing down, but rather picking up the pace.

As a loyal follower, I wholeheartedly affirm Hutchins’ statement: “There isn’t another team, headed by none other than President Donald J. Trump himself, that I’d rather join in making America great again!
