Sophia met Caitlyn in 2015 through their makeup artist and hairstylist, just as Caitlyn was announcing her transition. She went on to take on the CEO and Executive Director roles of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation. Sophia was featured heavily in Caitlyn's reality series I Am Cait.
"We have so much in common; we see the world so similarly and we both are such a good match for each because we challenge each other," Sophia explained during an interview for The Hidden Truth with Jim Breslo.

Many speculated that Sophia and Caitlyn's relationship was more than just friendly. But, Sophia made sure to clarify that the two simply shared "a life together."
"I wouldn't describe it as a romantic relationship," Sophia said. "I would describe our relationship as we're partners, we're business partners."

"I don't think we need to talk about, 'Is it romantic or not?'" she said. "We're partners in everything we do, we're inseparable, we're business partners, we live together, we share a dog, we share family, we share a life together."
The age difference between Sophia and Caitlyn was discussed often. The two had a 46 year age gap.
"I see we are two souls that are a fantastic match for one another and I feel that we're so blessed to have found each other," Sophia explained. "And to be so supportive of one another in everything that we do. I feel beyond blessed that we've been able to keep it going for the time we've been able to keep it going. I don't think of the age difference as anything… for us, it's not even a factor."
