Jamie Laing poked fun at his ‘dad bod’ in a funny clip with his baby son on Monday, after sparking backlash with his ‘superwoman’ post about his wife Sophie Haboo.
The Made In Chelsea star, 37, became a first-time father last month when he and Sophie welcomed their first child, son Ziggy.
In a fun clip posted to Instagram, Jamie joked that his new figure was ‘incoming’ after being berated by his wife Sophie for complaining about ‘missing’ his pre-baby figure.
The video showed the star holding his son with the caption: ‘I missed how my body looked before you.’
But the camera then cut to an unimpressed Sophie, with the words: ‘What you talking about, you’re his Dad, get your a*s to the gym.’
Jamie aptly captioned his post: ‘Dad bod era incoming.’

While Jamie has been proudly sharing snaps of his life as a dad, he recently came under fire for a post that set ‘unrealistic expectations’ for new mothers.
He had taken to social media last month to show off how Sophie had created a ‘magical Christmas’ just three weeks after giving birth to their son Ziggy.
However, fans were quick to call out the post for being insensitive and a ‘typical IG moment’ only showing the best parts of the day.
He was flooded with replies from unhappy fans, with one writing: ‘I normally love your content, but this is an insensitive post and sets an unrealistic expectation/pressure on other new mothers. Not everyone has the money, resources and support to be able to do this.’;
‘In my opinion this is not normal and a typical IG moment. To, to me, this is sadly only about people pleasing and not prioritising healing and true 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.
Following the criticism, Jamie then took to Instagram to acknowledged he will ‘never be as tired as his wife.’

Jamie shared a clip of him performing squats whilst holding his newborn in the kitchen.
He then penned: ‘First rule since becoming a dad: Accepting that no matter how tired you are, you’re definitely never as tired as your wife.’
Jamie was inundated with mothers who all agreed with his statement, as one replied: ‘100% not as tired. Not taking away from your own sleep deprivation but it’s still not as much as her keep doing amazing work’;
‘You learn FAST Jaime! Your marriage will endure the test of time’;
‘It’s true though! She’s the one healing from pregnancy + birth at the same time as looking after a baby’;
‘Every woman sending this post to their husbands…’
Sophie and Jamie announced the birth of their son on December 4, 2025 with sweet hospital snaps.
Jamie could be seen with his arm around his wife as she cradled their newborn, while another showed just Sophie holding their baby.
