Sophia Hutchins is currently missing New York City while in quarantine. She's also promoting her sunscreen product line, Lumasol, reminiscing on Insta about her family and friends, and telling fun stories about Caitlyn Jenner in interviews. She's come a long way from her Seattle roots, but her life experiences growing up made her who she is today.
Hutchins is becoming a success in her own right, and her connections to the rich and famous Kar-Jenner family make it easier for her to achieve her goals. She started out life as a baby boy but realized when she got a bit older that she just wasn't at peace in her body. She felt female on the inside.
Her decision to transition was inspired by the transition journey that Caitlyn Jenner took. Sophia Hutchin's story is amazing, and it starts in childhood, so let's turn back the clock now.
12 She Was Brave Enough To Make A Big Change
It takes guts to go on hiatus from college in order to transition, and then to return to college with a whole new image. That's what gutsy Sophia Hutchins did. She used to be known as a male and came back to college as her true, inner self, with the feminine look that she always wanted.
Sophia did worry about being heckled upon her return but had the courage to transition, despite the potential bullying. We only get one shot at life, unless you're a believer in reincarnation, so it's inspiring that Sophia took the reins and became her best self. We can all learn a thing or two from her.
11 She Used To Be Called Scott Hutchins
When Sophia was Scott, Scott was a big cheese on campus at Pepperdine University. Scott Hutchins helped the LGBTQ+ community at his university, by chairing its LGBTQ+ committee.
If you thought Sophia Hutchins was just another hanger-on, who is building a career solely based on knowing the Kardashians, think again. Sophia has a long history of fighting for social justice and also served as SGA Junior Class President at Pepperdine, before resigning to embark on transition.
10 Caitlyn Jenner Became Her Inspiration
Pepperdine is in California, where the Kar-Jenners work and play. However, Sofia (then Scott Hutchins) was inspired by Caitlyn Jenner before becoming a part of Caitlyn's inner circle. Kris Jenner's ex made quite an impact on young Scott and helped him find the bravery to transition. Not that Scott, who is now the beautiful and successful Sophia, didn't have plenty of courage already.
It's nice to know that Caitlyn's been a positive role model for people like Sophia.
9 Sophia Dreamed Of Being A Model
Sophia was a great college student who also excelled in the realm of student politics. However, like many of us, she had dreams that were on the glamorous side. Yes, she wanted to be a model, ever since the days when people called her Scott and perceived her as male.
Luckily, Sophia is a go-getter who had the moxie to pursue her dreams and make them a reality. She has modeled, and her achievements definitely don't stop there. She's living proof that people can hit their goals if they want success badly enough, and are willing to work hard.

6 This Picture Was Shared Right Before The Transition
Before letting the world know that he planned to transition, Scott Hutchins wrote a moving essay and posted the pic above to accompany his words. Scott was ready to transition...and be who he always wanted to be.
Scott resigned from the student council at Pepperdine because he needed to take time out to transition. Scott knew he felt female since he was very young. It was time to engage with others as a female. This is a pic of a courageous person on the brink of a big life change.
5 She May Be A Cougar Today
Sophia isn't so old herself. She's in her early twenties but is believed to have a taste for guys who are on the younger side. Is Sophia a cougar? Maybe so.
This inspiring activist does have a romantic life, but not with Caitlyn Jenner. She actually thinks of Caitlyn as more of a parental figure. In fact, she once had to get a lock installed on her bedroom door because she shares a home with Caitlyn...and Caitlyn barged into her room without knocking! Sophia was entertaining a male friend when Caitlyn burst through the door, according to People.
4 Soon Enough, Life Got Way More Glam
We live in a culture where getting glam is celebrated because it's a nice way to escape from problems and focus on a little fantasy and fashion. Glowing up can also be great for self-esteem, as long as makeup, hair, and clothes aren't all that a person is about.
Sophia loves getting glam, and she did a deep dive into the glam celeb lifestyle when she started hanging around Caitlyn. She actually got to know Caitlyn because they shared a hairdresser.
Becoming friends with Caitlyn totally changed her life! However, Sophia was making her mark in the world before Caitlyn came along. Sophia is her own person.
3 People Thought She And Caitlyn Were An Item
Yes, rumors that these two were hot and heavy were everywhere, until Sophia finally stopped being coy and spelled out the truth of the situation, which is that she and Caitlyn are just friends.
They also work together. Sophia handles some business matters for her older friend. As mentioned, they also live together, in a luxurious home with all of the bells and whistles. These two are joined at the hip but don't get physical in a romantic way. Maybe their relationship will stay strong because they haven't gotten romantic. Sometimes, romances don't last as long as good friendships.
2 But It's All About Friendship And Business
Sophia is so loyal to Caitlyn. Sophia is a Taurus and they are known for sticking with things and people through thick and thin. Caitlyn is a Gemini, who's a little more fickle in terms of interests and friends. Together, these two balance each other out.
Sophia uses her practical Taurus nature to help Caitlyn organize her life and make money. Caitlyn uses her social skills, talents, and past achievements to bring glitz and excitement to her younger friend's life. This connection is 'win-win' - it's a great platonic and business relationship that we absolutely love!
