Ever since Caitlyn Jenner began hanging out with Sophia Hutchins, there have been reports suggesting the two could be carrying on a secret romance. During a recent interview, the Pepperdine University student addressed dating rumors surrounding her relationship with the former “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star.

While the reality star’s ex-wife, Kris Jenner, moved on and began dating Corey Gamble after finalizing their divorce in 2014, the “Secrets of My Life” author hasn’t confirmed any romantic relationships.

During a chat with Jim Breslo on his “Hidden Truth” podcast, the 21-year-old struggled to define her relationship with Jenner. “I wouldn’t describe it as a romantic relationship,” Hutchins explained.

“I would describe our relationship as we’re partners, we’re business partners, I’m the executive director of her foundation. You know, we have so much in common,” she continued.

Hutchins, who is also transgender, revealed the two were able to form a genuine bond because of their similarities. “I think because we share so many of the same passions and views you know, I think it’s just such a great match, a great partnership,” she shared.

However, Hutchins eventually attempted to rephrase her initial statement denying the romance and described her deep bond with the 68-year-old. “I don’t think we need to talk about ‘is it romantic or not.’ We’re partners in everything we do, we’re inseparable, we’re business partners. We live together, we share a dog, we share a family, we share a life together,” she said.

While Hutchins was willing to open up about the dating rumors, Jenner has only briefly discussed the extent of her relationship with her companion. During an interview with Variety, the star revealed she wasn’t interested in talking about Hutchins but did admit they were good friends. “We are not going to get into that,” she told the publication when questioned about the possible romance.

“But we are very close. We do a lot of things together. We’re kind of inseparable. We’re the best of friends,” she added.

Although the two have not confirmed a romantic relationship, Hutchins has attended several Hollywood events with Jenner and was spotted by the star’s side during her daughter, Kylie Jenner’s, 21st birthday party in August.
