Caitlyn Jennerhas lived a truly fascinating public life.
While the Jenner of today is out and proud, things proved more complicated in the past.
Jenner was just 23 years old the first time she got hitched.
Jenner’s star rose astronomically after winning the decathlon and taking home gold forTeam USA.
The two pushed forward in the relationship, welcoming their first child, Burt Jenner, in 1978.
Scott was pregnant with their daughter, Cassandra, when the pair decided to separate.
Their divorce was finalized in January 1981.
“[Jenner’s] career as a decathlete was over.
I don’t know.
“So, I really felt I had found my normal, until my world collapsed.”
You know, she didn’t want to disrupt her family.
It was a lifelong struggle for her.”
The two bonded over a love of motorcycles as well as their experiences as single parents.
It was undeniable that as the family’s star status rose, Caitlyn avoided the spotlight more and more.
In the end, things became quite contentious between the two.
“My identity, it was not a big part of us separating.
There were so many other bigger issues out there.”
During that time, Caitlyn reportedly did a bit of casual dating.
The families even spent holidays together, so she felt incredibly betrayed.
Hutchins says that Jenner inspired her own transition after the two met.
Since then, they’ve become roommates and colleagues, as Hutchins acts as Jenner’s business manager.
“Well, we are girlfriends, but we’re not like ‘girlfriends.’
You know what I mean?
“To me, Caitlyn is like a parent figure, but also now we have business together.
So, you know, we work together so it’s interesting.
It really is family, that’s the best way to describe it.
It was never sexual.”
“I’m very fortunate to have a great friend in Sophia,” she toldOK!
“We have a wonderful life and we do everything together.
Everybody needs those people in their lives.
She has her life and I have mine.
We live here and we support each other.
It’s a great friendship.”
Jenner, for her part, says she can’t imagine dating again.
It’s not what I’m looking for.
I’ve got so many other things in my life.
On a scale of one to 10, that’s a one.
I’ve been married three times.
I’ve been down that road.
I’m 70 years old, I want to enjoy my life and I have great friends.
I don’t even think about it.”
