Caitlyn Jenner‘s longtime friend and personal manager Sophia Hutchins has died. She was just 29.
Sophia Hutchins, who shared a close bond with Jenner spanning nearly ten years, passed away on Wednesday (July 2, 2025) in a devastating ATV accident near Jenner’s Malibu residence.
According to TMZ, who broke the story first, Hutchins was riding the ATV on Jenner’s street when she hit the bumper of a passing vehicle. The impact sent Hutchins over the road’s edge, causing her to fall 350 feet down into a ravine below.
Hutchins was declared dead at the scene. The two people in the other vehicle weren’t hurt. While it’s not clear if Jenner was there when the fatal accident happened, no other injuries were reported.
Jenner and Hutchins became friends in 2015, right after Jenner came out about her transition. Hutchins, who had also recently transitioned, appeared on Jenner’s show, I Am Cait.
“We have so much in common; we see the world so similarly and we both are such a good match for each because we challenge each other,” Hutchins once said on The Hidden Truth with Jim Breslo.
She continued, “She challenges me in so many ways, has allowed me to grow in so many ways and I hope I challenge her to grow and I think because we share so many of the same passions and views, it’s just a great match, a great partnership.”
Before her death, Hutchins was the CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation and had recently stepped into political commentary, making several Fox News appearances. Her LinkedIn showed she was also the founder and CEO of health tech company LUMASOL and headed Sophia Hutchins Consulting.
Jenner hasn’t yet commented on Hutchins’ passing.
