Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing has faced backlash after posting a video of his wife Sophie Habboo, three weeks postpartum, preparing a lavish Christmas dinner. The couple welcomed their son Ziggy earlier this month.
In the Instagram compilation, Habboo is seen kissing their newborn and setting an elaborately decorated table. Laing captioned the post: 'POV: your wife is three weeks postpartum and still creates a magical Christmas.'
Critics accused Laing of setting 'unrealistic expectations' for new mothers. One user commented: 'This is lovely but also let’s not normalise postpartum women being superwoman.' Another asked: 'Why didn’t you take over Christmas this year?'
Some defended Laing, arguing he was simply showing appreciation. One follower wrote: 'Jamie is showing love and appreciation for his wife, he didn’t come to insult all other postpartum mums.'
Laing and Habboo married in April 2023 in a Chelsea Town Hall ceremony, followed by a larger celebration in Spain.
