Reports reveal that 69-year-old Caitlyn Jenner is feeling a strong desire to become a mom — so much so that she’s exploring the possibility of starting a family through surrogacy.
Caitlyn is currently linked to Sophia Hutchins, a 22-year-old transgender woman. Though the pair has never publicly confirmed their relationship, they have been inseparable since first being spotted together back in 2017, and their bond continues to grow stronger every day.
Caitlyn Jenner is already a proud parent to four stepchildren, six biological children, and 14 grandchildren. But now, she’s ready to embrace motherhood in a whole new way.
A source told Closer magazine, “Caitlyn and Sophia have been discussing starting a family together for over a year. Although Caitlyn has ten children, she’s never had the opportunity to raise a child in the role of a mother — something she’s always dreamed of.”
The insider also revealed that Sophia shares the same desire to become a mom, which has inspired the couple to consider surrogacy as a way to finally bring their long-held dreams of motherhood to life.
Caitlyn Jenner’s fallout with her ex-wife Kris Jenner and stepdaughters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe played out very publicly following the release of her revealing memoir, The Secrets of My Life.
Tensions between Caitlyn and Kris — parents to Kylie and Kendall Jenner — have remained high. Still, Khloe recently confirmed that the sisters have started to rebuild their relationship with Caitlyn, describing Sophia as “really sweet.”
However, Caitlyn’s daughters have greeted her plans to have a baby with a chilly response, worried that Sophia, who is nearly 50 years younger, may be putting pressure on their mom.
Closer’s reports suggest that Caitlyn has even reached out to Kim Kardashian for advice on surrogacy. Kim, who has already hired a surrogate for her two youngest children, Chicago and Psalm, has been a valuable source of support.
According to insiders, Kim is the only member of the Kardashian-Jenner family openly backing Caitlyn’s dream of becoming a mother through surrogacy.
Representatives for Caitlyn have been contacted for comment.
