Jenner, 70, and Hutchins, 23, live together in Malibu and frequentlyaccompany each other to eventsand get-togethers, but both have said theirrelationship is platonic. (Hutchins transitioned in college and cited Jenner as an inspiration to heruniversity newspaper.)
“I wouldn’t describe it as a romantic relationship,” Hutchins explained last year during an interview onThe Hidden Truth with Jim Breslo. “I would describe our relationship as we’re partners — we’re business partners.”
“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,” she added. “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.”
Jenner alsoaddressed the relationship rumorslast year, tellingVarietythat the two are “very close.”
“We do a lot of things together. We’re kind of inseparable,” Jenner said of Hutchins. “We’re the best of friends.”
In February, Jennerbrought Hutchins alongto her granddaughterStormi Webster‘sfirst birthday party, where she introduced her to guests as her “partner.”
“They are not romantic but are best friends and are generally inseparable,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “Also, they consider themselves business partners. Sophia helps manage Caitlyn’sfoundationand other business endeavors.”
Caitlynjoined the castofI’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!earlier this month. On the show, contestants compete in challenges in the hopes that they get voted King or Queen of the Jungle to donate their winnings to a charity of their choice.
