Let's all grab a grain of salt and discuss a report by Closer magazine claiming that 69-year-old Caitlyn Jenner wants to have a baby with her partner, 22-year-old Sophia Hutchins. According to a "source" that spoke to Closer, "Caitlyn and Sophia have spoken about starting a family together for the last year or so, and while Caitlyn's already got ten children, she's never had the chance to bring a child up in the role of a mother, which she's always dreamed of doing."

Not gonna lie–our first reactions are WAIT, WHAT, HOW?! WAIT because even though ageism sucks, we can't help but bring up that Caitlyn is 69, and if she were to have a baby even in the next year, by the time that child reached 20, Caitlyn would be 90. WHAT because although Caitlyn and Sophia seem very content and live together, they've never officially confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship or that they plan on being together long term. HOW because having a baby together presents some challenges since both Caitlyn and Sophia are transgender.
So, what's up?
Why would Caitlyn, who already has kids, want more?
It makes sense that with a 47-year age difference between the two of them, they would be at much different stages of their lives, what with Caitlyn already having adult children and Sophia not having any. But why would Caitlyn want to go back to the diaper stage at this point? Well, according to the Closer source, Sophia has been wanting to "become a mum, and Cait knowns how important it is to her."
Apparently, Kendall and Kylie are not on board.
How are Kendall and Kylie, Caitlyn's daughters with Kris Jenner, reacting? According to the source, "The girls are all really worried about the stresses and strains of having a newborn on Caitlyn–especially Kylie, who says she struggles at 21, and that at 70 Caitlyn should be enjoying taking life at a slower pace after having raised her children."
Not to worry, Kendall and Kylie; Caitlyn's got a plan.
"Caitlyn’s assured them all that they’re in the early stages of interviewing nannies and will have a good support system in place, and says Sophia will be the main ‘hands-on’ mum," says the mag.
Truth be told, Caitlyn and Sophia have the financial resources to set themselves up for success. Also, it's up to Caitlyn to decide how she wants to spend the rest of her life.
What about the logistics of it all?
Neither Caitlyn nor Sophia are able to carry a child, so how would this work? "They’ve decided to hire a surrogate to carry their much longed-for baby," says the source. Makes sense, and they certainly wouldn't be the first.
Supposedly, Kim Kardashian has been all kinds of helpful.
The source adds, “Kim’s been incredibly helpful, and is the only one who’s been showing support, giving advice on surrogacy and her experiences." Kim's sure to be a great resource since she had two of her kids with Kanye West via surrogate.
Only time will tell if Caitlyn and Sophia will have a child. We'll just have to wait and see. Regardless, we wish them well.
