Sophia Cachia began running her mum blog, The Young Mummy, while married to her husband, Jaryd.
Their life looked like a typical family of four with their children, Bobby and Florence, but when they decided to open up their marriage to explore, Sophia discovered new parts of herself and her sexuality.
The sleepwear label owner told Sean Szeps on his podcast Come Out Wherever You Are that she identifies as sexually bisexual and emotionally gay, and during the period of their open marriage, she explored with “every type of woman I could imagine.”
Jaryd and Sophia eventually parted ways after three years of marriage in 2019, but when she was struggling with her self-professed “identity crisis”, he was the one she went to for support.

“While experimenting, and back and forth, and not knowing do we continue this… I remember crying to him. While I was very lucky to have someone – that was my husband – and a safe place, it was really difficult,” she told the podcaster.
“It was an identity crisis, my life has looked like this for so long, do I commit to it? I really had to make a decision which way I was going.”
He was also the first person she came out to in either 2017 or 2018 when she realised she had caught feelings for a woman.
“I met this woman and straight away .. I thought ‘what the f–k is happening to me’. Instantly there was this energy and connection,” she revealed.
“I went home and told Jaryd ‘I think I just fell in love with a woman’ [He was] not surprised.
“We laughed about it, he got it, we’re very sexual people and know the power of sexual chemistry, he understood it. I showed him a photo of her.
“It was beautiful to be able to speak so openly, what started as a joke ended up really evolving and it was beautiful that Jaryd from day one has been my point of contact for that,” she said.
“While experimenting, and back and forth, and not knowing do we continue this… I remember crying to him.”

They have shared plenty of loved up photos, and Maddie has even become Sophia’s personal assistant.
The mother-of-two shared a gracious Instagram post to celebrate the end of 2021 and commemorate all they have achieved together in their relationship and work.
Next to a picture of them posing with cocktails, Sophia gushed, “Celebrating 2021 with this angel 🥂 Working by my side 24/7, we have achieved so much together & none of it is possible without you, always working above & beyond your role as my personal assistant. I wouldn’t have been able to do half of what I did this year without you & I am so excited to keep growing in 2022 as a team 💫.”
Maddie has proudly stepped up as a stepparent for Sophia’s gorgeous children, and they have gone on holidays together to various tropical locations.

“Throwback to when I was the same size as Mads (😞) and the only reason I was out at this waterfall was because she piggybacked me crying because I obviously assumed something scary was going to jump out & eat me because I couldn’t see the bottom,” she captioned a picture of them posing with a waterfall.
“Who’s the sook in your relationship? I handle life admin & holiday planning, Mads takes care of spiders & would be first down the stairs if someone broke in. #balance.”
“For seeing my big, soft squishy heart – and making it your own.”

Especially when Sophia declared high praise for Maddie for “loving the not-so-perfect version” of herself and “for seeing my big, soft squishy heart – and making it your own.”
There is no doubt that Maddie is just as excited as fans to watch Sophia take on Survivor: Blood V Water with her sister Kate AKA KJ.
