She moved into Cailtyn’s home in 2017 and took on her role as manager, stepping into Kris Jenner’s former position.

While they co-habited, Sophia told The New York Times that they were never romantically involved. 

“Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,” she said.

Sophia was accepted into the family and had a good relationship with Caitlyn’s daughters, daughters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27, who she shares with her ex-wife, Kris. 

“I’m on good terms with all the family, but I’m closest with Kris, Kim, Kylie and Kendall,” Sophia added to the outlet.

Sophia’s accident comes almost a decade after Caitlyn was involved in a fatal crash while driving on the PCH. 

Four cars were involved and Kim Howe died. Caitlyn was not charged in the accident but it was determined that she had been driving too fast.
