Caitlyn Jenner’s partner Sophia Hutchins has shut down rumours that the Kardashians are not supportive of the former Olympian’s stint Down Under.

The sun cream business owner, 23, said she felt the lack of online support from the Kardashians and the Jenners during Caitlyn's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! stint was “being read into too much”.

Caitlyn – who was born Bruce Jenner and transitioned in 2015 – is the father of Kendall, Kylie, Brandon, Brody and Burt Jenner, Casey Marino and stepfather of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian.

Since her transition, she has requested her children still refer to her as “dad”.

While interviewing Sophia about Caitlyn’s time on the show, Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan said: “She’s always been incredibly supportive of all the kids – the Kardashians – and the wider Jenners.

“Where are they with their support for Caitlyn? They have been notable by their silence.”

Sophia responded: “I think the media has read into that a little bit too much. I think, no matter what Caitlyn does, her kids love her to death. Her kids support whatever she’s doing.”

Referring to a tweet Kim posted last week of Caitlyn waking up the camp, she added: “Well you saw Kim Kardashian tweeting – ‘I set this, rise and shine, get up, excel, [as my alarm].’

“There’s support, there’s nothing but love coming from the kids too. I think the media is reading way too much into it.”

When asked later on if the Kardashians or the Jenners would be heading Down Under to see Caitlyn, she said she “couldn’t possibly comment” and revealed she was trying to move her schedule around so she could be there.

When Susanna Reid pressed her further, she added: “We’ll have to wait and see.”

Good Morning Britain airs from 6am Monday to Friday on ITV.
