Jamie Laing & Sophie Habboo Rebrand Podcast To ‘NearlyParents’

EXCLUSIVE: Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo‘s podcast is being given the rebrand treatment.

The rebrand will not come as a surprise to fans, who welcomed the news several days ago that the married pair are having a baby.

The podcast that started life as NearlyWeds then became NewlyWeds after they got married will now be titled NearlyParents, with Habboo expecting later this year. The first pod ep will drop tomorrow.

“As the duo prepare to welcome a baby into their lives, their podcast will evolve with them,” said the pod’s synopsis. “NearlyParents will deliver the same addictive mix of honesty, humour, and chemistry fans love, now with a fresh lens on pregnancy, family prep, and the beautiful, messy reality of becoming parents.”

Laing and Habboo met on E4’s Made in Chelsea several years back. They left the show in 2021 and married in 2023. Other pods they have helmed include Habboo and Melissa Tatam’s Wednesdays and Great Company with Jamie Laing, both of which are made by Laing’s indie JamPot Productions. Habboo has recently joined Laing on BBC Radio 1’s Going Home Show while Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton are on maternity leave, marking the first time a married couple has co-hosted a show on Radio 1. Last year, we revealed UTA had signed the duo.

Laing said of the rebranded pod: “NearlyParents is going to be about the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of not only becoming parents, but how we also navigate everything life throws at us.”

Habboo added: “I feel like NewlyWeds has always been about sharing the real, messy, and wonderful parts of our relationship, and now we get to do the same as we start our family.”
