Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo opened up about her pregnancy on the first episode of the couple’s rebranded podcast NearlyParents, which has now launched this week
Former Made In Chelsea star Sophie Habboo has opened up about a «really bad» craving that she’s experienced during her pregnancy. It was brought up by her husband Jamie Laing on an episode of their podcast released this week.
Sophie, 30, and Jamie, 36, announced that they are expecting a baby together last week. Their joint post on Instagram included footage from an ultrasound scan and Sophie has since showcased her baby bump in several photos.
The couple also shared some career news with fans after the pregnancy announcement. Sophie and Jamie revealed that their podcast would be rebranded as they embark on a «new chapter».
The podcast was formerly called NearlyWeds and then NewlyWeds, following their wedding in 2023. It will now be called NearlyParents in the lead-up to the birth of their first child.
In their debut episode, titled We’re Having A Baby, which was released today, Sophie and Jamie spoke about discovering that she was pregnant among other topics related to the news. It included discussing pregnancy cravings.
They told listeners that at one point Sophie had a craving for caviar, though she said that she didn’t end up eating any after looking into the prospect. Jamie said: «You didn’t eat it but you had a craving for it and I put a stop to it.»
He shared on the podcast: «Sophie said ‘Oh, it’s really annoying. I’ve got a really bad craving’. And I said ‘Well, what is the craving?’ She said ‘Caviar.’ So, we went to a store.»
Sophie said that the couple went around London at 8pm that night in an attempt to find a store that sold caviar and was open. Apologising to her husband, she said: «I’m sorry, please don’t hate me!»
Jamie added: «We found a caviar store and we went in there, and there was caviar there. And I was like, ‘Okay, we’re surely not buying this. The pot was £240, and I was like, that craving has to stop there and then. And thank God, you came to your senses.»
Sophie said: «I didn’t come to my senses. I Googled it. It says I can’t eat it. […] I was going to give birth and then just be broke and never, ever be able like to eat again.»
It isn’t just the NearlyParents podcast that the couple are working on together at the moment. Sophie is currently co-hosting BBC Radio 1‘s Going Home show with Jaime while both Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton are on maternity leave.
Sophie and Jamie, who are both former Made In Chelsea stars, wed in 2023 in ceremonies held in London and Spain. The couple had announced their engagement on Instagram in 2021, revealing that Jamie popped the question at the London hotel where they had their first date.
