Sophia Hutchins’ tragic death confirmed.
Sophia Hutchins, longtime confidante and manager of Caitlyn Jenner, has died.
Sophia Hutchins’ life highlighted.
Born in Bellevue, Washington, Hutchins began her public journey while attending Pepperdine University, where she studied economics and finance.
She served as president of her graduating class before stepping down during her junior year to focus on her gender transition.
After graduating in 2017, Hutchins launched Lumasol, a tech-forward sunscreen brand, and eventually stepped in to manage Jenner’s public affairs.
Her startup, Lumasol, gained traction in the beauty tech industry, praised for its portable and fashionable sunscreen dispensers.
Sophia and Caitlyn’s bond clarified.
Sophia and Caitlyn met through a shared hairstylist—“We just kicked it off,” Hutchins told Juicy Scoop in a 2020 interview.
“She didn’t have a manager,” Hutchins recalled. “Kris wasn’t doing it anymore… and I felt I could do a really good job.”
Hutchins appeared in Jenner’s docuseries I Am Cait, but her ambitions weren’t limited to the entertainment world.
In 2016, Hutchins said Jenner’s televised coming-out interview made her realize it was “OK” to live authentically, calling the moment life-changing.
Hutchins later revealed in a Pepperdine article that Jenner’s bravery gave her the push to begin her own transition journey.
Despite years of rumors that they were romantically involved, Hutchins repeatedly said they were “just really close friends.”
In candid interviews, Hutchins admitted she took over Jenner’s brand management because money was being “thrown everywhere.”
Sophia’s sudden pivot to politics detailed.
She became a surrogate for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, making frequent media appearances and rallying support for the former president.
In February 2024, she posted a photo alongside Trump at Mar-a-Lago, captioned with MAGA slogans and fiery campaign rhetoric.
Hutchins remained loyal to Trump’s inner circle, declaring she would “keep fighting for America in any way I am told.”
She and Jenner were photographed at the Starlight Ball during Trump’s second inauguration festivities in D.C.
Her transition from West Coast glam to East Coast politics raised eyebrows, but Hutchins thrived under the spotlight.
Hutchins’ death revealed.
According to police and family sources, Hutchins was riding an ATV when she collided with the back of a moving vehicle on a road near Jenner’s home.
The impact launched the vehicle off-road, sending Hutchins and the ATV plummeting down a steep 350-foot ravine.
First responders pronounced Hutchins dead at the scene; miraculously, no one else was injured in the collision.
Jenner has yet to make a public statement, and it’s unclear if she was present or nearby at the time of the crash.
Authorities have not released further information about the driver of the vehicle Hutchins struck or whether speed was a factor.
Tributes for Sophia unveiled.
Tributes poured in across social media Wednesday night as followers expressed disbelief and heartbreak.
Local outlets captured chilling aerial footage of investigators combing through debris at the ravine’s edge.
A friend close to Hutchins told TMZ: “She was sharp, driven, and had so much ahead of her. This is just unreal.”
While the investigation remains open, authorities say early reports suggest the crash was a tragic accident, not criminal in nature.
Many fans and insiders are watching Jenner’s social media, wondering how—or if—she’ll publicly respond to her manager’s death.
Jenner and Hutchins’ bond was forged during vulnerable, public moments—both women navigating life after transitioning under intense scrutiny.
Whether on red carpets, campaign trails, or business meetings, she carved out her place in multiple high-stakes worlds.
Rest in peace Sophia.
Her sudden death resonates across two vastly different spheres—both of which Hutchins unapologetically occupied.
The fatal crash occurred just minutes from Jenner’s Malibu property—a place Hutchins once called her “second home.”
Her death leaves behind a tangle of grief, unanswered questions, and the haunting image of a rising star gone far too soon.
