American businesswoman and socialite Sophia Hutchins tragically passed away on July 2 at the age of 29, as per TMZ. She worked as a manager for Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner's father, Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner.

Reports say the accident happened in Malibu when Sophia's ATV hit the back of a moving car. This caused her to lose control and fall 350 feet down a slope into a ditch, leading to her death.

As per the sources, there were other people reportedly in the car who weren't harmed. Considering her close connection with Caitlyn, it's not sure whether she was present with Sophia Hutchins at her last moments. As of now, Caitlyn Jenner has not uploaded anything related to Sophia on her social media accounts.


When did Sophia Hutchins meet Caitlyn Jenner?

Sophia Hutchins met Caitlyn Jenner ten years ago, somewhere around 2015. During that time, Caitlyn came out about her transition from male to female and her identity as a transgender. The two soon connected, which led to Sophia becoming Jenner's manager and taking care of her daily scheduling. Additionally, she was also spotted on I AM Cait.

Additionally, she was also the CEO of a company called LUMASOL. In the past, being a transgender herself, she also served as a CEO of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, advocating for and supporting trans people.

The two were also speculated to be in a relationship because of their close bond. However, Hutchins soon shut down those rumors in the statement:

"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 rumors! It's been years."

The news of Sophia Hutchins’s death has left fans shocked, with many taking to social media to share their disbelief and pay tribute to her. The news comes soon after the tragic accident involving footballer Diogo Jota and his brother André on July 3.
