Jamie Laing's Baby Ziggy: A Year of Parenthood and Big Dreams

Jamie and Sophie Laing, who first met on Made in Chelsea, are navigating the joys and challenges of new parenthood with their son, Ziggy, born in December 2025. The couple, who married in 2023, discovered Ziggy's gender early on and expressed excitement about having a boy. Jamie even received a near-accurate birth date prediction from royalty. Despite the demanding nature of caring for a baby, the Laings are loving their new roles and describe their experience as exhausting but incredibly rewarding.

Jamie, the great-great-grandson of the McVitie's digestive biscuit creator, co-founds the vegan sweet brand Candy Kittens and hosts several podcasts. Sophie co-hosts a podcast and runs their media production company, JamPot Productions, with Jamie. Together, they executive produced the Disney+ documentary 'Raising Chelsea,' chronicling their journey into parenthood. The couple acknowledges the learning curve, with Jamie humorously recalling a nappy-related mishap due to fatigue.

Despite the early struggles and a recent bout of chickenpox, the Laings are committed to growing their family, with Sophie expressing a desire for 'lots and lots' of children. They recently enjoyed their first trip away without Ziggy to Paris, collaborating with GetYourGuide. Looking ahead, they have exciting work plans in early January 2027 and aspire to host major events like the Academy Awards and the Met Gala, while continuing to build their media company and focus on being excellent parents.
