Caitlyn Jenner gives tour of 12-acre Malibu home she shares with housemate Sophia Hutchins

The I'm a Celeb... star is appearing on MTV Cribs.

By Jamie Tabberer

Caitlyn Jenner has invited fans into her 12-acre Malibu property for the latest series of MTV Cribs – while insisting the house itself is “not as big as people may think.”

Well, the jury’s out on that one!

The Olympian and reality TV veteran appears on tonight’s episode of the show.

In a preview clip which you can watch below, Caitlyn – whose six kids include Kylie and Kendell Jenner – shows off a hallway filled with awards and her huge walk-in closet, while also checking in on manager Sophia Hutchins (who the show introduces as ‘Caitlyn’s housemate’) in her makeshift office.

Imagine having Caitlyn as your live-in landlady!

“Under Covid, you’ve had to actually move your office into the house,” Caitlyn is heard saying to Sophia in the video.

“So this is like my little prison!” adds Sophia.

Through the keyhole with Caitlyn: a quick Q&A about the star’s Malibu mansion

Talk us through what a tour of your home looks like…

“I think the most amazing thing about my house is the view. Anyone who walks into the house from the front ends up going right back outside through the back to see the view. They always just go ‘Wow, this is very cool’.”

What will surprise people most about your home? 

“I think people will be surprised that it’s not actually that big of a house. Although the property’s big – it sits on 12 acres – the house itself isn’t as big as people may think. I think people have this perception that you’re supposed to have this huge home. I’ve had those in the past and I’ve decided that I would like to have something smaller and more manageable.”

What embarrassing items in your fridge/cupboards will you have to squirrel away before the cameras arrive? 

“I’ll have to hide Sophia’s wine, Sophia’s rosé. There’s a lot of it.”

What are your most prized possessions? 

“I have a couple of family things in the house that are very important to me. I have a statue that my great grandfather bought and it’s been passed down in the family. It’s honestly things like that that mean the most to me. Furniture and technology, you can buy and sell and change – but the personalized stuff is by far the most important.”

Most lavish purchase?

“It’s a toss-up between my Porsche and my plane.”

Fave item in the wardrobe?

“Pyjamas.”

What’s your favourite gadget?

“I’d say my work bench in the garage is my favourite gadget.”

What are you hoping for the next three to five years?

“Peace and tranquillity in the world.”

Is reality TV a big part of the plan?

“Right now I’m not doing a reality TV show. However, I do consider my YouTube channel reality television and I will continue with that. So make sure you subscribe!”

Will you miss Keeping Up With the Kardashians [which is ending next year]? 

“Some of the best times of my life were with my family shooting that show. I will miss that, but fortunately all of my kids are doing extraordinarily well and I don’t have to worry about them.”
