Accident Details
Sophia Hutchins was involved in an accident while driving an ATV near Jenner’s $3.5 million Malibu residence. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning, where she collided with a moving vehicle’s bumper, according to reports from TMZ.
Impact of the Crash
The force of the collision caused Hutchins and her ATV to veer off the road, resulting in a fall down a 350-foot ravine, as detailed by police sources. Emergency personnel declared her dead at the scene, and fortunately, there were no other injuries.
Location of Caitlyn Jenner
At the time of the tragic event, it was unclear where Caitlyn Jenner, age 75, was located.
Their Relationship
Hutchins and Jenner’s friendship began in 2015 when they met through their hairstylists just as the Olympic gold medalist was starting her transition process. Hutchins, who was also transgender, appeared in several episodes of Jenner’s E! reality show, “I Am Cait.” In 2017, she moved in with Jenner and took on the role of her manager.
Speculations and Denials
Despite their close bond, which led to numerous dating rumors, both Hutchins and Jenner consistently denied any romantic relationship. Hutchins clarified in 2018 that their relationship was strictly platonic, describing it as “very parental” and emphasizing that she dates men.
Background and Achievements
Born on April 1, 1996, in Bellevue, Washington, Hutchins graduated from Pepperdine University in 2019 with a degree in economics and finance. Inspired by Jenner’s story, she completed her gender transition during her junior year of college. In addition to being Jenner’s manager, she served as the CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, which supports LGBTQ communities, and launched a sunscreen brand called Lumasol SPF.
