They began dating, fell in love and got married (legally) in Chelsea – and now popular reality stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo are inviting viewers into their next big life chapter.
After sharing that they're expecting a baby, the couple has also announced a new reality series on Disney+, currently titled Jamie and Sophie: Raising Chelsea.
Best known for their time on Channel 4’s Made in Chelsea and their chart-topping NearlyParents (formerly NearlyWeds) podcast, the fly-on-the-wall series will document the couple's journey into parenthood, embracing what they call their "latest challenge and greatest joy".
What will the series be about?
Viewers can expect an intimate and unfiltered look at their lives as they navigate the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, moving into their first family home, balancing busy professional lives and managing support – as well as "unsolicited advice" – from their loved ones.
The show promises moments of warmth, humour and honesty that fans have come to expect from the duo – much on account of their "infectious energy and no filter truth-telling".
