Former Made in Chelsea stars Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing have announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy named Ziggy. The couple shared the news on social media, posting a photo of themselves cradling their newborn son with the caption: “Ziggy, you have our whole hearts.”
The pair, who married in 2022, also shared a series of Polaroid-style images from the delivery room, showing Habboo beaming on the birthing bed while Laing wrapped his arms around his wife and their son. The couple first revealed they were expecting in June, sharing a video of their baby scan.
In an interview with The Times in April, Laing, now a BBC Radio 1 presenter, admitted he had once been “really scared” about having children, but changed his mind after seeing a clip on Instagram. “The best thing I ever had is being called Dad,” he said. “So now I’m so down for it. I would like to have loads.”
Habboo has been open about the challenges of pregnancy, including her teeth becoming “frail and rotting” and experiencing fainting spells. She described her feet swelling so much that her “petite feet” turned into “massive hooves.”
The couple, who met on Made in Chelsea, wed at Chelsea Town Hall in 2022, followed by a celebration in Marbella, Spain, attended by fellow MIC alumni including Sam Thompson, Spencer Matthews, and Olivia Bentley. They also launched the podcast NearlyWeds, which later evolved into NewlyWeds.
