Caitlyn Jenner Spotted At LAX As Partner Sophia Hutchins Enjoys Paddle Boarding In Her Pool

Caitlyn Jenner is back in California after filming her stint on “Big Brother VIP” in Australia.

The 71-year-old aspiring politician was spotted at LAX airport near Los Angeles Saturday dressed casually while making her way to a waiting car outside the air transport facility.

In the photos obtained by Daily Mail of Jenner’s arrival at the airport, she wore a plain black V-neck sweater, blue denim jeans and a pair of gray trainers with pink accents. She also had her chestnut hair styled in waves.

The former Olympian was wearing a mask upon landing but removed it when she was being escorted to the vehicle.

It was the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum’s first sighting in the U.S. after filming her participation in “Big Brother VIP” in Sydney. The show, which adopts a “hotel format” amid the pandemic, is set to air later this year.

In a recent interview, Jenner opened up about her decision to join the reality show, where contestants will compete for $100,000 for their chosen charity.

“I just want to continue to be out there,” she was quoted as saying by Perth Now. “I want to be visible. And it is not so much what I say or doing a show about these issues, about gender dysphoria and this and that, it is about honestly doing a show like this.”

When Jenner flew south to film the show, she left her partner Sophia Hutchins behind to take care of their Malibu household. But it appears the 25-year-old businesswoman really enjoyed her alone time in their mansion as she frequently updated her Instagram with snaps of herself enjoying their pool.

Hutchins’ latest Instagram update showed her practicing her paddle boarding skills in their pool in a black two-piece bikini. In the photo, the Lumasol CEO could be seen standing on top of a blue and white board while holding a paddle.

“Practicing my paddle board skills before I go in the ocean,” she captioned her post.

Jenner and Hutchins have been living together for some time now, and their decision to do so has become the fuel of the never-ending romance rumors between them.

However, Hutchins has made it clear in different interviews that they were never romantically involved. She maintained that she has this parental connection with Jenner, on top of being business partners.

“It was never romantic. It was never sexual. It was very much friends. It's very parental, very protective. But, at the same time, it's also businessy. It's like we're family,” Hutchins said during an appearance on the “Juicy Scoop” podcast with Heather McDonald.
