Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s wild marriage from frank bedroom talk to blazing rows

We’ve seen a glimpse into Jamie Laing’s marriage with Sophie Habboo, who has been supporting her husband as she prepares to run the 150-mile event for Comic Relief.

Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, both former Made in Chelsea stars, have always had open conversations about their marriage. Fans have heard it all, from honest confessions about their infidelity in the bedroom to blazing rows about their marriages.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Jamie, 36, is currently taking part in a relentless 150 mile-run for Comic Relief from London to Salford and has been heavily supported by his wife of almost two years, Sophie, 30. But it wasn’t love at first sight for the couple. Before they became an item, they were simply best friends. However, it wasn’t long before their blossoming romance came to light with heartwarming scenes playing out on Made in Chelsea in 2019.

They tied the knot on April 14, 2023, in a private ceremony held at Chelsea Town Hall in south-west London. They got engaged in December of that year. Around 200 people showed up for a second, more lavish wedding ceremony in Marbella, Spain, on May 19 and celebrated it there. We’ve taken a closer look at their marriage as the presenter and Candy Kittens founder continue on his harrowing run, along with all the hilarious anecdotes…

threats of leaving

The pair released a trailer for their podcast, NewlyWeds, just one day before their wedding, which revealed Jamie’s warning that he could leave their union after a year. When he and I got into a fight, Sophie said, “ugh I’ve got to be married to you for at least a year,” he said. Jamie continued, “Yes, it’s true. Everyone would say, “Well, that was short,” if it were before a year. You’re like, “That’s alright, after a year.”

The couple’s marriage has previously been threatened with a walkout. Sophie stated to listeners in an episode of their podcast that when Jamie is angry with me and that the worst fight ever has ever occurred, he will enter and leave, saying, “Sophie, I’m leaving you.”

He does it, perhaps, once a year, I suppose. And he’ll say, “I don’t want you to react.” But speaking with me is useless. I’m letting you go. And I’m heading, and I’ve got my backpack, and I’m going, “all right.”

Fear of commitment

Jamie and his wife have been together for more than five years, but he has been open to having children. He mentioned having a baby on his own podcast, Great Company, saying that while it has been a long journey, it has been a “real long road.”

There is always a way out, according to the saying that if you can’t escape something, such as a job or even a divorce, there’s always a way out. There is no way out, though, with a baby. You are forever committed to that tiny human, which is really frightening to me. He continued, “It’s still incredibly terrifying; it’s a real fear.” Sophie and I both left the restaurant at the beginning of last year because I was so stressed.

In the bedroom, “Lazy” is the word.

Jamie has revealed that he is “lazy” in the bedroom and made no secret of what it really like. He claimed that Sophie did describe me as “bog standard” when we had sex, which is probably a fair description. As you marry, things get worse. You get cranky.”

He continued, “I used to start doing joined-up handwriting, and then I realized I couldn’t be bothered by that because it was easier for me to not do joined-up,” so I’m a little like that in the bedroom. Although I don’t stop halfway, I do recall that Sophie said, “Oh, get on with it!” when I rolled on top of her.

Therapy

Jamie previously mentioned making the suggestion in previous conversations, and he claimed that they now see a marriage therapist twice a month. He explained to Sophie, “Look, 40 or 50% of marriages end in divorce, I think it’ll be really good,” and we still meet up weekly for therapy.

It makes you more vulnerable and sympathetic, they say. It basically prevents you from becoming a sociopath and gives you the freedom to voice your own opinion.

However, they are well aware of what to do to maintain a fresh and exciting marriage. We enjoy experimenting with fun new ways to spend time together, Sophie said. and always making sure we’re present in one another’s company. For me, it’s lots of laughter, trying new things, and making your partner feel special every day, Jamie said. You don’t need to bring home flowers or an expression of affection because you don’t need an excuse.
