Heat reported that Caitlyn Jenner’s stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here might have gotten her a few new fans, but one person who definitely wasn’t happy about the former Olympian’s reality star status was Sophia Hutchins.
A source told the outlet, “This has been tough on Sophia, she hates dealing with all the new scrutiny that’s being placed on their relationship.” When Jenner wasn’t around to “protect and advise her,” the source continued, Hutchins supposedly “doesn’t handit it at all well.”
The two business partners allegedly “talked a lot about whether doing this type of reality show was a good idea or not” before Jenner joined the cast of celebrities roughing it in the jungle. Hutchins apparently was “worried” that benign on the show would “open them both up to embarrassing speculation.”
And while Cait was sheltered from it in the jungle, Sophia was the one who had to deal with all the attention.
The outlet went on to insist that Hutchins had “always avoided revealing whether their relationship is romantic. A source explained, “They’ve worked hard to keep things private and, while everyone knows they’re very much in love and it’s way more than a regular friendship, Sophia doesn’t see that it’s anyone else’s business but theirs.”
Despite Hutchins’ attempts at discretion when it came to the two ladies’ relationship, she was forced to face invasive questions from Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan about the nature of said relationship.
During an appearance on the morning talk show, Hutchins was asked by Morgan if there was any “hanky panky” going on between herself and Jenner, a question which Hutchins was visibly embarrassed and discomforted by. Hutchins later called the line of questioning, “totally not cool,” while the source whispered, “Sophia insists she had no idea Piers would be grilling her so relentlessly.”
