As the daughter of a celebrity, Sophia’s birth grabbed a lot of attention, especially because she was a twin.

It was a rough one that made news all over the media. Her parents were throwing accusations at each other and fighting for the custody of the daughter. Jean accused Sophia’s father of domestic violence following an argument about cash. 

Even though she was just two years old, the divorce must have taken a toll on Michael and Sophie, which unwillingly must have affected the energy needed for a toddler’s upbringing.

Additionally, he mentioned that she failed to bring court-ordered therapy sessions, volleyball, and horseback-riding games.

Jean accused Michael of not paying her the child support money he owed.

Further, she has also been photographed at exclusive celebrity events and in exotic locations where she has vacationed with her family.
