Jamie Laing has faced backlash after revealing on his podcast that he attempted to have sex with his wife Sophie Habboo just weeks after she gave birth. The former Made in Chelsea star admitted on the NewlyParents podcast that he 'tried to initiate it a couple weeks in' following the birth of their son Ziggy.
In a clip shared on TikTok, Sophie, 32, recalled telling Jamie, 37, that she had stitches and needed medical clearance. She imitated him complaining that he had 'waited a year' and 'stamped your little arms and your legs'. Jamie denied crying but was seen laughing during the conversation.
Social media users expressed shock, with one calling it 'horrifying' and another noting that sex is not recommended until six weeks postpartum and only with consent. Sophie later told Metro: 'Jamie and I have always had a relationship based on equality and mutual respect. We don't want our comments to be misunderstood... in no way should this be seen as making light of serious matters.'
The couple, who welcomed Ziggy in December 2025, have since released a Disney Plus series and restarted their podcast. The controversial episode appears to have been removed from streaming platforms.
