Made in Chelsea's Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing Are Expecting!
Okay, so we all thought the biggest news for Sophie Habboo this week was her stepping in to co-host BBC Radio 1's "Going Home" with hubby Jamie Laing while Vick Hope's on maternity leave. But honestly? That was just a warm-up act. This power couple just dropped a massive bombshell: they're expecting their first child!
The Big Reveal
The announcement came via Instagram, naturally. A sweet video of Sophie at her ultrasound, showing that adorable little heartbeat, and captioned with just a red heart emoji. Simple, perfect, and utterly charming. I mean, who needs words when you have a visual like that? You could just feel the love and excitement radiating from the screen.
Jamie's reaction in the video was priceless – a mix of stunned disbelief and overwhelming joy. Sophie, well, she looked absolutely radiant. The whole thing was just incredibly touching.
From "Nearlyweds" to "Newlyweds" and Now... Parents-to-be!
It’s been a whirlwind for this pair. They married in 2023 – a stunning ceremony in Chelsea followed by a larger celebration in Sotogrande. Remember Sophie's incredible Emma Beaumont wedding gown? She’s saving that for her future daughter, she mentioned in a recent interview with H! Fashion. And speaking of interviews, in that same feature, she gave us a peek into their relationship secrets: laughter and being best friends. Sounds pretty perfect, right?
Their podcast, "Newlyweds" (originally "Nearlyweds"), has been temporarily paused. I initially thought maybe it was because of the Radio 1 gig, but now it's clear the pregnancy played a big part in that decision. Makes sense—they need some time to focus on this amazing new chapter!
Celebrity Congratulatory Messages
The comments section on their Instagram post is a who's who of well-wishes. Molly-Mae Hague, Emma Willis, Dianne Buswell, Louise Thompson, and even Mollie King (who Jamie covered for on Radio 1 in 2022!) all chimed in with their congratulations. It’s heartwarming to see so much support from fellow celebs and fans alike.
- Molly-Mae Hague: "Congratulations guys!!!!"
- Emma Willis: "Congrats you beauties"
- Dianne Buswell: "Omg congratulations guys so so exciting"
- Louise Thompson: "Congrats guys this is SO exciting."
And the fan reactions? Pure joy! It’s been lovely seeing the outpouring of love and support for this couple.
A Little Sneak Peek?
Some eagle-eyed fans spotted some potential hints on Sophie's Instagram. A few pictures from a recent holiday showed her hand strategically placed on her stomach. Looking back, it makes you wonder, you know? It's fun to see how even subtle clues can spark speculation!
What's Next for the Habboo-Laing Family?
It’s officially Baby Laing time! We're so excited for Sophie and Jamie as they embark on this incredible journey. I, for one, cannot wait to see Sophie's maternity style! With their combined charm and talent, this little one is going to be truly loved.
