Jamie Laing has revealed why he is “scared of having children” with his wife Sophie Habboo, even though they both want a baby.
The Made In Chelsea stars married in April 2023 during a first ceremony in London and a second in Spain three weeks later, and both have spoken of their desire to have children.
But on a recent episode of his Great Company podcast, Jamie’s producer Jemima interviewed him and they discussed why he fears having children.
Jamie, 36, explained: “I would really like to have one, but it’s been a very long road because I was really scared of babies and I was really scared of commitment.”
‘The idea of not being able to escape something, whether it’s work or even divorce, there’s always a way out. But with a baby there is no way out. There is no way out because you are committed to that little human forever and that to me is actually quite terrifying.
He continued, adding: “It’s still very scary, it’s a real fear.” To the point where at the beginning of last year Sophie thought I was pregnant and I had to leave the restaurant because I was so stressed.
Jamie Laing has revealed why he is “scared of having children” with his wife Sophie Habboo, even though they both want a baby.
The Made In Chelsea stars married in April 2023 during a first ceremony in London and have both spoken about their desire to have children.
‘First of all, that’s not a good partner. It made me very nervous, but it also scared Sophie a lot because, as a couple, you want someone confident and relaxed, and that made her uncomfortable.’
Sophie, 31, previously predicted that her husband Jamie will be a disaster when it comes to welcoming children.
Jamie admitted: “I’m going to hate it.” I really don’t think I’m going to put up with you being in pain.’
Sophie then suggested that she could have someone else present during the birth, like her mother.
He added, “I think you’re going to have to take a Xanax at that point, or something, because your anxiety will scare the crap out of me.”
“You’ll definitely say, ‘We’ll never do that again.’ Because you found it so traumatic. And you’ll definitely tell the story of my birth to everyone.
It comes after the couple took the festive spirit to a new level by recreating an iconic scene from Christmas classic Bridget Jones’s Diary.
The couple and hosts of the Newlyweds podcast put their acting skills to the test as they treated their listeners to a new Instagram reel to close out the year.

Sophie previously predicted that her husband Jamie will be a disaster when it comes to welcoming children.
The lovebirds tied the knot in April last year during a first ceremony in London and a second in Spain three weeks later.
The duo recreated none other than the final scene in which Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is forced to put on her ‘tiny panties’ and run through the snowy streets of London half naked in an effort to not let Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) escape.
It comes after Mark finds his famous diary inside his apartment, which is filled with insults towards him, and when Bridget returns to the room she discovers that he has disappeared.
Assuming her new lover had run off in a huff, she ran off with nothing on her lower half but her leopard-print underwear, only to discover that he had actually just gone to buy her a new journal.
Of course, for the video, Jamie hilariously took on the role of Bridget and Sophie pretended to be Mark Darcy, and they added their own sassy twist.
In the sketch, Jamie exclaimed: “It’s definitely an occasion to wear really tiny panties!” as he left Sophie to read magazines in the other room.
Then he found her diary, which said, “But listeners think Sophie is sexier than me, but she’s NOT.” I hate her! I hate her!’
Jamie, dressed in almost the exact same outfit as Bridget, realized that Sophie was gone and ran across London after her.
After running out and meeting ‘producer Ewan’, Jamie and Sophie continue to act out the iconic moment as they kiss and Jamie exclaims: ‘Good girls don’t kiss like that!’
Sophie jokes: ‘Yes, they do!’ and then the couple says goodbye shouting: ‘Merry Christmas!’
They also posted a behind-the-scenes video that showed how the camera crew followed them during the Christmas shoot.
In the caption, Jamie joked: “Definitely an occasion to wear really tiny panties.”
