Richard Jones appeared at Swansea Crown Court today where he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
The 50-year-old denied a charge of murder and will stand trial for that offence next January.
Jones, who police confirmed was known to Sophie, was remanded into custody.
Officers launched a murder probe after they were called to the home on Bigyn Road in the summer.
Jones, of Y Rhodfa in Burry Port, was arrested later that day following the tragic discovery.
No further details over Sophie’s death have been released but police confirmed they were “not looking for anyone else”.
In a moving tribute, Sophie’s devastated family said she was a “loving mother” to her two daughters, who she “adored with all her heart”.
They added: “Our beautiful and amazing sister and daughter Sophie was tragically taken from us, and our lives will never be the same.
“We are heartbroken by our loss. Our Sophie, only 30 years young, will be greatly missed by us all.”
The family also described Sophie as a “loving daughter” and “amazing sister” with a huge heart.
They said the “bright and funny” mum was “always making us laugh”.
Sophie’s loved ones continued: “She lived life to the fullest, and will be remembered for being so kind and caring to her loved ones.
“Sophie loved spending time with her children and family, had a passion for beauty therapy, and enjoyed keeping up with her fitness and the latest fashion trends.
“We would like to thank everyone for their support at this horrific time. It has meant a lot to the whole family.”
