Grieving Caitlyn Jenner seen for first time since tragic death of longtime friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins

   

Caitlyn Jenner was spotted for the first time since losing her longtime friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins, in a tragic accident.

Photos showed Jenner grabbing some Starbucks all by her lonesome in Malibu, Calif., on Thursday.

Jenner seemed to be in a good mood as she smiled and waved for the paparazzi in the parking lot before she got into her car where Hutchins’ dog, Hutchens, was waiting for her.

Jenner wore a short sleeve light blue T-shirt and light denim distressed shorts. She finished her look with gray sneakers, tall white socks, a black purse and a visor.

The former Olympian, 75, was later spotted on Friday getting consoled by friends as she went for a grocery run in her neighborhood.

 

Jenner was pictured wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt and gray track pants for the food store outing.

In the photos obtained by Page Six, she could be seen leaving the grocery store with Hutchins’ mother where they bumped into two women in the parking lot.

At one point, one of the ladies dressed in a black romper was seen giving Jenner a hug as they exchanged words.

Jenner notably wore a pair of black shades for both outings.

Hutchins, who was 29 at the time of her death, was driving near Jenner’s $3.5 million Malibu condo when her ATV collided with the bumper of a moving car.

The impact caused Hutchins and her ATV vehicle to fall off the road and down a 350-foot ravine, police sources told the outlet.

Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene. No one else was injured.

Footage of the incident, which aired on Wednesday afternoon, showed the mangled blue ATV sitting atop an upside-down vehicle that had previously crashed in the same spot.

Hutchins met the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” alum, 75, through their mutual hairstylist in 2015.

“We met through our hairstylists. He was doing my hair one day and was like, ‘I’m going to a photoshoot after this, something with Caitlyn and MAC. And Caitlyn would like to meet you,’” Hutchins, who previously referred to Jenner as her “partner in life,” recalled to “Juicy Scoop” podcast listeners in 2020.

Jenner has not yet issued a statement regarding Hutchins’ tragic passing.
