Jaryd’s last name is also the name of Sophie’s sleepwear company, CACHIA.
‘For me, it’s both. Cachia has been and will always be my last name. From a professional point of view I am Sophie Cachia. My (sleepwear label) is Cachia. I’ve been separated for five years, so it was never about getting my last name back.’
“But there was a part of me that, as I grew up and really fell into who I am, and also I come from a family of four girls, where we all went away and got married, I thought, No, I want a part of me back.

Sophie recently revealed on Instagram that she is expecting her third child and later confirmed that she will be welcoming a baby girl.
She has not confirmed the identity of the father or the sperm donor, leading her fans to theorize that her ex-husband Jaryd, 33, who has a new partner, could be the donor.
While Sophia keeps her ex-husband’s and baby daddy’s last name on her Instagram account, the name that appears on her account is now her own.
However, Sophie firmly responded to the speculation when she clarified that Jaryd is not the father of her child in response to a probing question from a fan.
A follower asked her: ‘I’m very interested in your conception. Sperm donor? Jared? Do you plan to co-parent? Family man? Not to judge but to learn and then support! Please respect privacy completely.’
In response, Sophie called fan theories that Jaryd is the father of a girl “wild” and said she won’t discuss the matter further just yet.
She wrote: “I knew I would be faced with questions and intrigue and that’s totally okay and maybe one day when I’m ready I’ll discuss everything.”
“However, one thing I wasn’t prepared for was the MANY assumptions/questions about my ex-husband being the father.”
‘Do you know many people who have children with their ex six years after breaking up lol? Just because we have a friendly family relationship parenting our amazing B&F doesn’t mean we’re making more babies together and wild. Leave him and his personal life out of it.
