Celebrity couple look unrecognisable in sweet childhood snaps after welcoming their first baby – but can you guess who they are?

by

The famous couple recently had a baby, their first child together. They first met while filming a reality TV show in 2017.

However they looked unrecognisable in throwback childhood snaps shared on Instagram this week. 

The couple started dating in 2019 and got married in 2023. They had a beautiful, large wedding in Spain after first legally exchanging vows with family and friends at the Chelsea Registry Office.

They then announced the birth of their son on December 4 as they shared sweet hospital snaps.

Okay, so I was totally stalking my faves online, and they posted the cutest throwback photos of themselves as kids! It’s because they’re new parents now, and it’s getting them all sentimental, which, honestly, is just making me even more obsessed. They shared them on Friday, and I’ve been looping the pictures ever since. It’s the sweetest thing ever!

But can you guess who they are?  

It’s none other than Made In Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo. 

I was so touched when Jamie posted on Instagram! He shared this really cute video, and it included a childhood photo of his wife – he even tagged it with her birth year, 1996. It was just a sweet way to show her some love.

‘Time flies,’ he wrote, before cutting to a clip of Sophie with their new baby. 

He followed up by posting a childhood photo of himself with his brother, and revealed he was born in 1991. He then shared a video of himself with their son.

It comes days after Sophie shared new photos from her day to day life with a newborn on Thursday. 

Former Made In Chelsea star, age 31, shared adorable photos of her new baby after her partner, Jamie, 37, received criticism for a previous post that some felt created unrealistic standards for mothers of newborns.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always thrilled to see new parents thriving! Just last month, my friend shared how his partner, Sophie, completely transformed their home into a Christmas wonderland – and it’s even more impressive considering she’d welcomed their little boy, Ziggy, only three weeks before! It really shows you can create special moments even amidst the beautiful chaos of new parenthood.

However, many fans criticized the post as being thoughtless and a typical, overly-curated social media moment, focusing only on the highlights of the day.

Sophie recently showcased her love for her son, Ziggy, in her new album, appearing as a devoted mother while sporting a stylish all-black look.

Someone spotted her having coffee, and she looked great in white shorts and a pink shirt, showing off her fit legs.

The album also included photos of the sunset viewed from their stylish new home in London, and some tempting pastries.

Sophie shared a cute picture of Ziggy’s little feet and another of Jamie playing the video game Pac-Man.

This follows the criticism Jamie faced from ‘momfluencers’ before Christmas. He had commented that Sophie created a wonderful Christmas just three weeks after giving birth, which drew their ire.

He received a lot of negative feedback from fans, with one person writing that while they usually enjoy his content, this particular post was thoughtless and put unfair pressure on new mothers. They explained that not everyone can afford or has the help needed to meet the expectations shown.

I don’t think this is healthy or a genuine interaction. It seems focused on trying to make others happy rather than on real healing and building meaningful connections.

‘My first Xmas when I was 3 weeks PP I slept most the day.’

Others questioned whether the couple had outside help from caterers or other paid professionals.
