Sofia Richie and Scott Disick have been together for a while now but the controversial couple hasn’t spoken candidly about one another. Earlier this week The Daily Telegraph posted a leaked email from her team of people detailing what Sofia will and won’t talk about. They made it clear that she will not discuss her relationship with Disick or her father Lionel Richie.

When Sofia went on Australia’s The Morning Show they didn’t stick to her interview requests. The newly 20-year-old was on the show to promote her new sneaker collaboration with Windsor Smith. Before they got to the shoes the hosts, Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies, asked her questions about her extravagant and privileged life. When Sofia kept saying that she’s humbled and a homebody they finally moved on.
When they finally got around talking about the show Emdur asked her, “Now is it true, your partner Scott helped you discover these shoes?”
Sofia fielded the question like a champ and brought it back to sneakers. ” Yeah, he actually showed me the shoe line and said, ‘These are really cute sneakers you should wear these,” Sofia said. “Then they reached out and it all worked out from there.”
Gillies steered the conversation back to Disick. “This is Scott Disick, who is your boyfriend!” Gillies stated. “Life with Scott looks pretty good, I’ve got to say.”
Gillies once again commenting on the luxuries of and wealth of Sofia’s life and Disick all in one fell swoop.
“Yeah, we’re very happy,” Sofia responded. “I’m very happy.”

The conversation went back to a neutral topic about selfies, but then Gillies awkwardly asked Sofia about the leaked email about what questions she can and can’t ask.
“Are you happy answering all these questions?” Gillies asked Sofia. “Because when we want to talk to you, people invariably want to bring u your relationship an stuff with your dad and sister as well. Does that ever get tiring? Do you wish we wouldn’t ask that? Or you’re happy for us to sit here and ask you those questions?”
Sofia, who has excellent media training, calmly answered her question.
“I mean, I can’t deny the fact that that’s my life. By the way, that’s been my life forever, it’s nothing new to me. I’m not upset that I have to answer these questions, but there are moments that I have where I’m like, I want to be my own person and I want to stand as my own person. And I think that’s actually what drives me to work and do my own thing and to want to make my own mark. I want to be seen as my own person, even though I have all these amazing people in my life that I love so much.”
The exchange is awkward as the hosts try to fish some answered from Sofia about her relationships and wealth. Watch the full interview below.
