Sophia Hutchins May Have Been 'Speeding' Before Deadly ATV Crash: Report

Sophia Hutchins, Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and manager, was reportedly speeding while driving an ATV before her deadly crash in Malibu on Wednesday, July 2.

It was reported that Hutchins was riding the ATV near her friend and client Jenner’s Malibu home when she struck a car on Wednesday morning. The collision reportedly caused the ATV and Hutchins to plunge 350 feet into a nearby ravine, where she was later pronounced dead at the scene. (Hutchins was 29 years old.)

Sergeant Eduardo Saucedo, of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Malibu / Lost Hills division, has since told The Daily Mail that Hutchins was driving a black and blue-colored 2013 Polaris utility vehicle when she collided with a gray 2016 Mazda 6. (The two women in the Mazda were not hurt.)

“It looks like she may have been speeding and rear-ended the other car, the other party, and then that caused her to veer to the right and go off the cliff,” Saucedo clarified. “It doesn’t seem like she was following them. I think she just came up on them and then hit the car.”

Saucedo suggested that Hutchins could have been trying to “maneuver” around the Mazda at the time of the crash.

“She was going too fast and just ended up clipping the rear end of that Mazda, causing her to veer off and go off the cliff there,” the officer theorized.

The officer confirmed that Jenner did visit the accident site as the investigation was underway. Investigators initially reportedly had to leave the damaged ATV in the ravine because local tow trucks did not have the necessary equipment to haul it back up the cliff.

Saucedo suggested that the investigators would wait for the coroner’s department to prepare a toxicology report before determining whether or not Hutchins was impaired while behind the wheel.

Us Weekly has reached out to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for comment.

Hutchins lived at Jenner’s Malibu home, where she also worked out of a converted guest house. She originally appeared on Jenner’s 2015 docuseries I Am Cait before becoming the athlete’s business manager. (Hutchins graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in economics and finance in 2019.)

Jenner and Hutchins frequently denied that they were romantically involved. During a 2019 Good Morning Britain interview with Piers Morgan, she objected to questions about whether or not she and Jenner were “an item.”

“We have a really special relationship. I don’t think we need to be an item to have a really special relationship, so to speak,” she replied. “I am here for Caitlyn 1,000 percent and Caitlyn’s here for me 1,000 percent. I think the best way to describe our relationship is that we are partners in every sense of the word. When it comes to work, absolutely there for each other 100 percent. When it comes to family and our personal relationship, absolutely there for each other 100 percent and there’s no denying it.”

Jenner subsequently told The Times U.K. in October 2023 that she was “very single” and was “not even close” to looking for a relationship.

“I’ll never have a relationship in the future,” she explained. “I just don’t see that in my life. I am not looking for that.”

As part of her working partnership with Jenner, Hutchins negotiated the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians star’s involvement with the British reality show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! in 2019 and also secured her frequent corporate speeches.

Kourtney Kardashian Supports Travis Barker During Huge U.K. Concert

Kourtney Kardashian took pride in her husband, Travis Barker, performing at Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert on Saturday, July 5.

“That’s my husband,” Kardashian, 46, beamed via her Instagram Story, alongside footage of Barker drumming.

Kardashian shared footage of Barker, 49, rocking out behind the drum kit while he covered Black Sabbath’s “Symptom of the Universe” alongside two other legendary drummers — Danny Carey, of Tool and Skinny Puppy, and Chad Smith, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Barker was one of dozens of punk, hard rock and heavy metal icons taking part in the Back to the Beginning festival at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, on Saturday. The special concert was promoted as Osbourne’s final performance with Black Sabbath following years of health woes. (Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in February 2019 and subsequently had to retire from touring due to a variety of physical ailments.)

Later, the Blink-182 member joined in on a medley of hard rock classics as part of a supergroup. He drummed on the blues standard “Train Kept A-Rollin'” with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and contributed to a cover of Osbourne’s 1983 hit “Bark at the Moon” with Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and Ghost vocalist Tobias Forge (a.k.a. Papa Emeritus).

Barker shared several photos and videos from the event via his own Instagram Story, including a sneak peek at him hanging out with Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood backstage.

Earlier in the day, Kardashian revealed she’d accompanied her husband to the U.K. for the Back to the Beginning festival by sharing a look at their tea service. A pair of sunglasses and one of her children’s WWE action figures lingered in the background, as Kardashian drew attention to her “butter yellow” nail tips.

Kourtney was the only one of her sisters not to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded wedding in Venice, Italy, last weekend. (Kris Jenner was in attendance for the gala alongside daughters Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.)

Despite missing out on the wedding of the year, Kourtney seemingly had plenty of fun of her own as she posed in an oversized gray suit and a white dress shirt for a beach party.

Kourtney and Travis also recently brought their son Rocky along for a family outing at the WWE’s Money in the Bank event in Los Angeles. The Kardashians star cradled her baby boy as the cameras spotted the family sitting in the Intuit Dome. (Kourtney shares Rocky with Barker and has three children with ex Scott Disick: 15-year-old Mason, 12-year-old Penelope, and 10-year-old Reign. She is also a stepmother to Barker’s son Landon, 21, daughter Alabama, 19, and his stepdaughter, Atiana, 25,)

Elsewhere, Kourtney raised eyebrows during an appearance on her sister Khloé’s “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast in May when she questioned why kids are required to go to school.

“Let’s say the school system. I’ll think, ‘Why do kids f****** go to school?’ Truly, it’s so dated,” Kourtney declared.

She went on, “I’ll start thinking, and then like, you know, my kids will send me videos about, like, ‘Why do kids go to (school)?’ It’ll be like, really successful people, and they’ll be like, ‘My kids never go to school and they’re never going to’ and whatever. And then I’m like, ‘OK, what’s the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let’s do it.’”

Khloé backed up her sister’s hot take, insisting she has always been a “homeschool person.” (Khloé shares 7-year-old daughter True and 2-year-old son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson.)

Former World Series Champion Bobby Jenks is Dead at Age 44

Former Chicago White Sox pitcher and 2005 World Series champion Bobby Jenks died from cancer at age 44 on July 4.

Major League Baseball confirmed that Jenks passed away in Sintra, Portugal, where he was undergoing treatment for an advanced form of adenocarcinoma, a type of stomach cancer. He is survived by his second wife, Eleni Tzitzivacos, and their children, Zeno and Kate, as well as four children — Cuma, Nolan, Rylan and Jackson — from his previous marriage to Adele Romkee.

“​​Former Chicago White Sox All-Star pitcher and 2005 World Series Champion Bobby Jenks passed away yesterday, July 4, in Sintra, Portugal, where he had been battling adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44 years old,” the White Sox confirmed via X on Saturday, July 4.

White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf also mourned the loss of “an iconic member of the White Sox family.”

“None of us will ever forget that ninth inning of Game 4 in Houston, all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organization during his time in Chicago,” Reinsdorf, 89, added. “He and his family knew cancer would be his toughest battle, and he will be missed as a husband, father, friend, and teammate. He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts.”

Jenks helped end the White Sox’ 88-year World Series championship drought by delivering a scoreless ninth ending against the Houston Astros in Game Four in 2005. (Prior to their World Series win in 2005, the White Sox had not won the league’s championship since 1917.)

Former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen referred to Jenks as “one of [his] all-time favorite players” following the announcement of the pitcher’s death.

“I loved that man,” Guillen said. “This is a very sad day for everyone involved with the White Sox. Everyone remembers the moment when I called for the big fella in the World Series, so the bobblehead of that moment will be a great way to keep that moment alive for White Sox fans.”

The former White Sox manager went on, “Everyone has a favorite story about Bobby, so the 2005 reunion [from July 11-13] will be a great opportunity to get together with all his teammates and coaches and relive some of our greatest memories of him.”

Jenks’ historic MLB career included holding the league’s record for retiring consecutive batters, at 41, and he was also a two-time All-Star. He pitched for the White Sox from 2005 to 2010 and then finished out his career with the Boston Red Sox in 2011.

He later worked as pitching coach and general manager for the Grand Junction Rockies, as part of MLB’s Pioneer developmental league. He coached for the Princeton WhistlePigs and the Windy City ThunderBolts as well.

Jenks announced his stomach cancer diagnosis in February during an interview with MLB.com from his hospital bed in Portugal. He confirmed that doctors discovered a tumor in his chest after a CT scan, with cancer ultimately spreading to his stomach lining, lower back, hips and bones.

“Now it’s time to do what I got to do to get myself better and get myself more time, however you want to look at it,” Jenks said at the time. “I’ll tell you one thing: I’m not going to die here in Portugal.”

He continued, “They are not going to put any numbers on it. I wouldn’t even want numbers. You hear stories all the time, ‘Oh, they gave me six months, 25 years ago.’ I don’t buy into that. Whatever happens is going to happen regardless.”

Jenks and his family’s difficulties were compounded when their Pacific Palisades, California home was lost in the Palisades Fire in January. Jenks managed to save his World Series but lost all other memorabilia from his career.

“I’ve got one suitcase left to my name,” Jenks admitted. “It’s all gone. Everything else I’ve ever done. I have everything, first to first. All those things are irreplaceable.”

Remembering Julian McMahon and Shannen Doherty's Romance After Deaths

Julian McMahon and Shannen Doherty briefly dated during the making of their classic TV series Charmed.

Tragically, the Charmed costars died within one year of each other after they both battled cancer. Doherty passed away at 53 in July 2024, while McMahon’s death was confirmed nearly one year later on July 4, 2025. The actor was 56.

The former couple reportedly got together during Charmed’s third season in 2001, which turned out to be Doherty’s last playing Prue Halliwell. At the time, Doherty’s departure – and the on-screen death of her character – were blamed partially on off-screen tension with costar Alyssa Milano, who played Prue’s sister, Phoebe Halliwell. (Rose McGowan was eventually cast as a long lost Halliwell sister, Paige, to essentially replace Doherty’s Prue.)

Doherty and McMahon’s dating situation during Charmed season 3 may have been especially complicated since McMahon played Milano’s on-screen love interest, Cole Turner. McMahon was also going through a divorce from first wife, Baywatch star Brooke Burns, at the time.

Doherty addressed the tense Charmed set environment during a December 2023 interview with former costar Holly Marie Combs on her “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty” podcast. Combs briefly acknowledged Doherty and McMahon’s relationship as she discussed the events that led up to Doherty being dropped from Charmed in 2001.

“You know, [Brian Krause, who played Leo] and [Alyssa] were dating at the time when this all went down, which, to me, us being completely oblivious, to me was the worst part,” Combs said. “Where, it was all sort of part of this plan that was happening and unfolding through over months. It was months of that year. You were dating Julian [McMahon]. So you guys were off in that world. Brian was off with Alyssa.”

Away from the Charmed set, Doherty and McMahon played lovers in the 2001 TV movie Another Day. In the film, Doherty’s character Kate developed feelings for childhood friend David (McMahon) after mysteriously being sent back in time to two days before her late boyfriend Paul’s death in a fire.

McMahon and Doherty were reportedly already split up by the time Another Day premiered. Having previously been married to actor Ashley Hamilton in the 1990s, Doherty wed poker player Rick Salomon in 2002, though they were granted an annulment the following year. (Salomon went on to promote a sex tape that he shot with ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton, and was later married to Pamela Anderson twice, between 2007 and 2008 and again between 2014 and 2015.)

Doherty married her third husband, photographer ​​Kurt Iswarienko, in 2011. They announced their split in April 2023, but their divorce was not finalized until hours before Doherty’s death from breast cancer in July 2024.

Meanwhile, McMahon’s first marriage was with Australian pop star Dannii Minogue between 1994 and 1995. Following his divorce from second wife Burns in 2001, he tied the knot with third wife Kelly Paniagua in 2014 and was with her until his death.

McMahon’s family confirmed on July4 that he died following a private battle with an unspecified form of cancer. His former Charmed costar Combs mourned McMahon by expressing hope that he would reconnect with Doherty in the afterlife.

“One of a kind is an understatement,” Combs remembered via Instagram. “Your unyielding zest for life and crazy making sense of humor will be sorely missed. The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered.”

She then referenced Doherty in writing, “I hope you find our lady friend and dance in those rose petals.”

McMahon is survived by his third wife Paniagua and 25 year-old daughter Madison, who was born during his marriage to Burns.

“With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” his wife, Kelly, said in a statement. “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.”
