We thought the biggest news for Sophie Habboo right now was the announcement that she is the new temporary host of BBC Radio 1's Going Home segment with her husband Jamie Laing. But today the iconic duo announced that they're expecting their first child.
They took to Instagram to share an adorable video of Sophie having an ultrasound, simply captioned with a red love heart emoji.
The married couple, who are both former Made In Chelsea stars, tied the knot in 2023, announced last week that Sophie will appear on her husband’s Radio 1 show, as Jamie's co-presenter Vick Hope goes on maternity leave.
In her recent digital cover shoot with H! Fashion, Sophie touched on the topic of children. Speaking on her incredible Emma Beaumont wedding gown, she explained that it would be an heirloom for her future child: “I’m keeping it for one day when I have a daughter.” As of now, the couple have not confirmed the sex of their baby.
Along with being married, Jamie and Sophie work closely together on their podcast, Newlyweds and now on national radio. Her secret to keeping the spark alive? “I think you’ve just got to laugh,” she told us. “Even if we’re arguing, Jamie makes me laugh so much I can barely stay mad. That’s what keeps it fun."

When the two tied the knot in 2023, Sophie wore an incredible Vivienne Westwood mini dress to her Chelsea Town Hall ceremony in England, and an elegant lace number by Emma Beaumont at their larger celebration in Sotogrande.

A style icon in her own right, we can't wait to see her maternity outfits...
