Caitlyn Jenner’s friend Sophia Hutchins fumes over dating rumours: ‘Not a lesbian’

Caitlyn Jenner’s bestie Sophia Hutchins has slammed the rumours that they’re dating once and for all, stating that she’s ‘not a lesbian’. 

The pair became friends a short while after Caitlyn, 71, transitioned in 2015 and they’ve been inseparable since. 

They also live together at Caitlyn’s Malibu mansion and Sophia was hired as the former Olympic champion’s business manager. 

Rumours about them being romantically involved have circulated for years and Sophia has appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians alongside Caitlyn several times. 

However, Sophia – who is also transgender – has set the record straight on the nature of their relationship. 

In her Instagram stories, the manager shared a photo of a tweet that claimed she’s been dating Caitlyn for four years. 

She wrote next to it: ‘Fake news! Not a lesbian! F**k off.’ 

Sophia then clarified in a follow-up story: ‘Love the whole LGBT community but so tired of rumors that I am romantically with Caitlyn. I am only ever with men and only ever have been. Stop the rumours! It’s been years.’ 

It’s not the first time Sophia has shut down the claims. In 2019, she told the New York Times that the rumours persisted ‘because we weren’t addressing it. I don’t feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to’. 

Caitlyn also said in a statement at the time: ‘Over the last few years, Sophia has been my best friend, family and confidant. She is one of the top minds in her field. Her value in my life is undeniable. 

‘The sky is the limit with her entrepreneurial spirit.’ 

Sophia added of their professional relationship: ‘We made a lot of money together and still do.’

Caitlyn was married to Kris Jenner for 22 years but they split in 2013.
