Sophia Hutchins has been sharing regular updates on social media during her time in lockdown, but her recent picture left fans worried after they spotted a painful-looking bruise on the aspiring model's thigh. The photo, captioned "Sunday Funday", caused several followers to ask whether Sophia was okay, with one writing: "That bruise though, u ok?" Caitlyn Jenner's best friend was quick to reassure everyone that she was fine, revealing that she had hurt herself after taking a tumble during a hike. "I had a fall during a hike, downhill in dirt and rocks," she replied. "That's got to hurt, glad you're okay," the follower responded.

She said: "It was never romantic. It was never sexual. It was very much friends." She added of their relationship: "It's very parental, very protective. But, at the same time, it's also businessy. It's like we're family. All of my family is in Seattle… it's been nice to feel like you have family where you're living. As far as romance. No."

"I don't want to leave her by herself, but she also knows and I know that I'm getting older – like I want to be able to kind of have my own life," she said.
