Made In Chelsea stars Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing have offered an intimate look into their lives as first-time parents, two weeks after welcoming their baby boy, Ziggy, at the start of December. The couple has been sharing candid moments and surprising revelations from their newborn bubble with fans on social media.
Sweet Snaps and Settling In
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Sophie treated followers to a series of tender family photos. The glimpse into their new world included a winter stroll with their little one, a selfie of Sophie breastfeeding baby Ziggy, and a heartwarming shot of Jamie gazing adoringly at his son. Another image captured Jamie planting a kiss on Sophie's cheek, while a final photo gave a peek inside their newly-renovated £12 million home, complete with a Christmas tree and festive lights.
The pair have only recently moved into the property after a 14-month renovation, a process Jamie jokingly said had left them 'nearly divorced'. Despite the challenges, they are now focused on their new roles as parents, having introduced Ziggy to friends including Jack Whitehall's sister Molly and her husband over the weekend.
"Wild Journey": Candid Parenting Confessions
The reality TV duo also took to TikTok to update followers with a refreshingly honest list of things that have surprised them since becoming parents. While out on a walk, they shared their novice insights. Sophie revealed she was taken aback by how Ziggy 'sounds like a goat all night long' and that babies often cry in their sleep.
Jamie chimed in with his own observations, noting the unexpected bodily changes, to which Sophie humorously corrected him about which breast was leaking. She went on to praise how delicious babies smell, comparing the scent to a bakery, and remarked on the constant need to burp their 'gassy little' son.
Jamie added that the nocturnal nature of newborns was a shock, exclaiming, 'They're like owls, they're awake all night long!' He signed off the video by calling them 'two novices', though Sophie insisted she felt like 'a little bit of a veteran now'.
A New Chapter in the Spotlight
While the couple has chosen to keep Ziggy's face hidden for now, they have been openly sharing snippets of their parenting journey. Details of Sophie's pregnancy and the birth are set to be documented in their upcoming Disney Plus show. Shortly after the birth, Jamie took to Instagram to heap praise on his 'rockstar' wife, calling the experience 'wild' and 'incredible'.
Sophie also shared her own post-birth reflections, simply gushing that 'it all makes sense'. The announcement of Ziggy's arrival was met with a flood of well-wishes from celebrity friends, including Jessie J, Rylan Clark, and Stacey Solomon. The couple, who got together on Made In Chelsea in 2019 and married in a lavish Spanish wedding in 2023, are now embracing this exciting new chapter of their lives together.
