Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing share joy as they announce first pregnancy together
Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing, the beloved Made in Chelsea couple, have shared their joyous news with fans: they're expecting their first child together.
On Tuesday, 3 June, the couple posted a touching video from Habboo's first pregnancy scan, showing a beaming Habboo gazing at the ultrasound screen, while Laing, overwhelmed with emotion, exclaims, 'Oh my god!' His voice cracks as he breaks into tears, clearly moved by the moment.
The couple, who first met on the hit reality show Made in Chelsea in 2019, have been open about their plans for the future. After marrying in 2023 in a beautiful Spanish ceremony, they've continued to share their journey with fans through their podcast, NewlyWeds.
Their followers have closely followed their relationship and their candid discussions on everything from married life to future plans for children.
Their baby announcement has been met with an outpouring of support from celebrity friends, including Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, who wrote, 'Congratulations guys!!!!' Former Made in Chelsea star Lucy Watson also shared her excitement, commenting, 'Exciting times to come, congratulations.' Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell added, 'Omg congratulations guys so so exciting!'
Both Laing and Habboo have found their professional footing in recent years. Laing, known for co-founding the successful confectionery company Candy Kittens, has recently taken on a new role as a co-host on BBC Radio 1's Going Home show.
Habboo, who has been supporting her husband behind the scenes, will temporarily co-host the show alongside him while Vick Hope, their regular co-presenter, is on maternity leave.
Laing, whose great-grandfather founded the McVitie's biscuit empire, has always expressed a desire for a large family. In a 2024 interview with The Times, he spoke about his initial fears around having children but shared how hearing the words 'The best thing I ever had is being called Dad' helped change his perspective. Now, he's ready and excited to start a family. "I would like to have loads,' he said.
Laing's dedication to charitable causes has also been in the spotlight recently. This year, he completed an extraordinary challenge, raising over £2 million for Comic Relief by running five consecutive ultra-marathons in five days totalling 150 miles (241km).
The marathon culminated in a heartwarming moment when he crossed the finish line and ran straight into Habboo's arms, visibly overcome with emotion.
Fans are eager to follow this next chapter in the couple's life, and with their public persona and genuine chemistry, their story is set to inspire many.

Netizens react as ‘Love Island USA' season 7 contestant Yulissa Escobar exits show amid racist clips backlash
Yulissa Escobar has unexpectedly left Love Island USA Season 7 shortly after the series' second episode. The reason behind her departure has not been officially revealed, but the timing follows the resurfacing of clips in which she reportedly uses racial slurs. In episode two, series narrator Ian Stirling made a brief announcement about 18 minutes in, saying, 'Yulissa has left the villa.' Escobar had been coupled up with Ace Greene, but Stirling also mentioned that Greene was now single. While Peacock has yet to comment on the situation, the controversy surrounding Escobar began shortly after the season seven cast was announced. Clips from a podcast, which were obtained by TMZ, show Escobar allegedly using the N-word multiple times. The backlash was swift on social media, with many calling for accountability. Escobar has not yet responded to the allegations as she remains in the villa, where contestants are not allowed to have personal phones. Fans have expressed mixed reactions on social media, with some celebrating her exit, while others criticise the producers for allowing such behaviour to continue on the show. One user on X questioned, 'How did TikTok do more of a background check on that Yulissa girl than the Love Island producers?'

Benny Blanco dreaming of kids with Selena Gomez amid health challenges
Music producer Benny Blanco has opened up about his desire to start a family with partner Selena Gomez, even as the couple keeps wedding plans private. In a recent InStyle interview, Blanco said he's 'dreaming and praying' about becoming a father. 'I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing,' he shared. Gomez has previously spoken candidly about her challenges with motherhood. In a Vanity Fair interview, she revealed she is unable to carry children due to medical complications stemming from lupus and bipolar disorder. Pregnancy could pose serious risks to her health and the baby's. 'That was something I had to grieve for a while,' she admitted. Still, Gomez remains determined to become a mother, considering adoption and surrogacy as meaningful alternatives. Her own mother was adopted, a fact she's called a 'blessing' in their family. Despite medical challenges, the couple is building a future together—starting with their $35 million Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, which Blanco has been filling with 'creativity and heart.' 'I love making a house my own,' he said, emphasizing the importance of comfort and authenticity. Blanco also reflected on his emotional growth, shaped by his upbringing with a single mother. He credits her with helping him understand women's emotional needs. 'A woman will tell you exactly what she needs,' he noted, emphasizing the value of listening and mutual respect. Reflecting on past relationships, he added that learning through trial and error taught him what not to do—and ultimately led him to Gomez.
