Now though, it seems this arrangement is due to the pregnancy and the fact Habboo has joined Laing on his Radio 1 show Going Home.
The pair tied the knot in 2023 and announced last week that Habboo will appear on her husband's Radio 1 show Going Home as Laing's co-presenter Vick Hope goes on maternity leave.
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in 2021, revealing Laing popped the question at the London hotel where they had their first date.
