Reports suggest that Caitlyn Jenner, 69, is considering becoming a mom through surrogacy. Jenner, currently in a relationship with 22-year-old Sophia Hutchens, seems to be feeling broody. Hutchens is also transgender, and the two have been seen together since 2017. While they haven’t officially confirmed their relationship, their bond has grown stronger over time.
Caitlyn has four stepchildren, six biological children, and 14 grandchildren, but she appears eager to experience parenthood in a new way. A source told Closer magazine, “Caitlyn and Sophia have talked about starting a family for over a year. Even though Caitlyn already has ten kids, she has always dreamed of raising a child as a mother.”
Sophia also shares this desire to become a mom, which has led the couple to consider surrogacy to fulfill their dream.
Caitlyn’s relationship with her ex-wife Kris Jenner and stepdaughters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian became strained after the release of her book, The Secrets of My Life. Despite this, tensions between Caitlyn and her daughters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, have somewhat eased. Khloe Kardashian recently mentioned that the family had started to rebuild their relationship with Caitlyn and described Sophia as “really sweet.”
However, Caitlyn’s daughters have mixed feelings about her plans for another child, partly because they believe Sophia, who is nearly 50 years younger, might be influencing Caitlyn’s decision.
According to Closer, Caitlyn has reached out to Kim Kardashian for advice on surrogacy. Kim, who has used a surrogate for her two youngest children, Chicago and Psalm, has been supportive. A source mentioned that Kim was very helpful and has been the only member of the Kardashian-Jenner family to support Caitlyn’s surrogacy plans.
Representatives for Caitlyn have been contacted for further comment, but as of now, no official statement has been made.
