Following her 23rd birthday, Sophia Hutchins thanked everyone who made the celebration special including her “loving partner” Caitlyn Jenner. Does this mean that the two best of friends are officially together?

On Monday, Hutchins, who is currently staying at Jenner’s $3.5 million Malibu hilltop home, took to Instagram to share a series of snaps from her birthday party that took place the night before. Featured in her photos are her closest friends John Paul DeJoria, Eloise DeJoria, Paul Abbott, Jade Marie and many others. And of course, the party wouldn’t be complete without the “I Am Cait” star.

In her caption, the Pepperdine University graduate encouraged her followers to only surround themselves with the people who will inspire and empower them. She added that one should only choose genuine people who value love. Interestingly, she dropped a bombshell when she labeled the former Olympian her “loving partner.”

“I am so lucky to have friends, team, and amazing loving partner I have. I cannot wait to share this year with all these people and so many more that wouldn’t fit in this collage,” the celebrant wrote.

While it wasn’t clear if this is Sophia’s admission of their romantic relationship, it’s undeniable that the she and Caitlyn have forged an inseparable bond. The 69-year-old reality star even posted a beautiful photo of the 23-year-old model on her personal Instagram account and she captioned it: “Happy Birthday to my little Sophia! It was a great night last night.” Hutchins then responded to the post saying, “Thank you babe.”

Last October, Hutchins maintained during her interview for “The Hidden Truth with Jim Breslo” that they are not at all a couple. She said they share a life together because they have so much in common and they see the world so similarly. She also insisted that they were just “business partners” at the time.

However, rumors claimed in February that Caitlyn and Sophia were already engaged to be married. But they were quickly shut down by a source close to the two who said that what they have is a purely platonic relationship. Despite this, Jenner and Hutchins continue to make headlines whenever they are spotted going out and having dinner together. Last month, the rumored couple even toured the beautiful city of Athens where Kylie Jenner’s father relived her glory days as an athlete.
