Jamie Laing has joked that his gift to celebrate his wife Sophie Habboo’s first Mother’s Day backfired as he videod her breaking down in tears.
The couple are best known for starring together in E4 reality show Made In Chelsea, and they tied the knot in 2023 in a civil ceremony in London before a larger, more extravagant celebration in Seville, Spain.
It was then in June last year that they announced they were expecting their first child together, and in early in December, the they announced their baby’s arrival, as Jamie showed the first photos of him and Sophie with their newborn son, revealing his unique name. He wrote at the time: “Ziggy, you have our whole heart”.
Jamie and Sophie have since given glimpses into their lives as new parents, while keeping their son out of the spotlight as much as possible. But following Mother’s Day in the UK on Sunday (March 15), podcast host Jamie took to social media with a video of his wife in tears.
In the short clip, Sophie, 31, is seen sobbing as Jamie, 37, asks: “Wait, why are you upset?” As she holds her head in her hands, she emotionally responds: “He’s never going to be that small.”
A message across the video read: “POV: When your Mother’s Day present backfires,” while Jamie also captioned the post: “Reminder… Don’t make your wife a photo album of your newborn baby for Mother’s Day.”
It comes after Sophie marked her first Mother’s Day by posting a snap of herself pushing her pram around London, dressed in a black leather jacket and white trousers. She also gave a glimpse at the two-month-old, posting a photo of his feet as they sat at a restaurant table.
Alongside the post, she penned: “15 weeks of being a mama and wow… what a ride it’s been. I didn’t realise it was possible to feel so many emotions all at once. I totally get now what people mean when they say they wish they could freeze time. One minute I’m dreaming about the day I can sleep through a full night again, and the next I’m tearing up at the thought of you not needing me in the night or falling asleep in my arms anymore.
“The emotional rollercoaster is wild, it has changed me in ways I never expected, and I’m so grateful for that. The hardest, most rewarding and most magical little bundle of joy all in one. Being your mama is, and will always be, my greatest achievement and joy and the thing I am most proud of. You really are the missing piece to my puzzle.”
She added: “To all the mamas who have been by my side through these early weeks, I love you. And to all the mamas around the world, you truly are all heroes.”
