Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing have announced the birth of their first child, Ziggy.
Jamie and Sophie, aged 37 and 31 respectively, announced the pregnancy in June 2025, and after months of waiting, have finally announced their firstborn’s arrival.
Taking to social media, the couple shared an image of the pair cradling little Ziggy with the caption: ‘Ziggy, you have our whole hearts.’
The duo, who rose to fame on Made in Chelsea, shared a video of their scan on Instagram to reveal the exciting news several months ago.
In the video, Sophie, 30, was seen lying in a hospital bed, smiling at Jamie and overcome with emotion as she said ‘oh my god’.
On seeing the scan, Jamie, 36, gasped ‘Are you kidding me?’ as the camera panned to Sophie, with her jaw on the floor, staring at the screen and listening to the heartbeat.
As Sophie and Jamie welcome their new addition, this is everything you need to know about the couple.
How did Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo meet?
Sophie joined Made In Chelsea during series 14, going on to date Sam Thompson, Jamie’s best friend.
Their relationship played out throughout series 15 and 16, but only lasted for six months, with Sophie calling it off in late 2018.
In 2019, after Jamie went through a breakup of his own, Jamie and Sophie begin to hang out as best friends.
During a trip to South Africa, which aired at the end of Made In Chelsea’s 17th episode, Jamie realised he had feelings for Sophie but felt it would be a betrayal to Sam if he were to tell Sophie.
After some dramatic ups and downs, the pair began dating in 2019.
Are Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo married?
Jamie and Sophie wed in 2023.
The pair were engaged in 2021 and got married in a low-key ceremony at Chelsea Registry Office in April 2023, surrounded by friends and family.
Jamie celebrated with a simple post on Instagram that read ‘We got married!! England Wedding done now bring on Spain!! 💍.’
They then jetted off to Villa Las Sirenas – in Spain, obviously – a month later to celebrate with a second, more lavish, wedding ceremony.
Guests included former co-star Millie Mackintosh, Love Island’s Zara McDermott and Spencer Matthews.
Spencer, 36, was reportedly ‘forgotten’ on the invite list to the UK wedding but did MC for the Spanish second round.
What is Sophie Habboo best known for?
Sophie joined Made in Chelsea during the 14th series, which aired in 2017 and focused on the aftermath of Jamie and Frankie Gaff’s breakup.
As well as being a TV personality, the 30-year-old is a social media influencer and recently landed a job on Radio 1, stepping in for Vick Hope while she’s on maternity leave.
Just like on their podcast, Sophie and Jamie will be working side by side for the three weeks while Vick is off.
Sophie graduated from Newcastle University in 2015 with a degree in Media, Communications and Cultural Studies.
The Newlyweds podcast star candidly opened up on her marriage on an episode of the show, revealing that their relationship hits the rocks twice a year.
Sophie revealed that things often get so heated that her husband packs a bag and claims he’s walking out on her.
In one episode, Sophie told listeners: ‘When Jamie’s really, really angry with me, when we have had the worst fight ever, what he does is he’ll come in and he’ll go, “Sophie – I’m leaving you.”’
Sophie continued: ‘And he does it, maybe, I’d say twice a year. And I’ll go, “okay.” And he’ll be like “I don’t want you to react. But there’s no point in talking to me. I am leaving you. And I, I’ve got my backpack and I’m going” and I go, “all right.”’
