‘I hope you have a magical Christmas. Sending love to all of you who find this time of year extremely difficult. And to those of you who give up your precious time to give to others at such a special time of year, you’re amazing.

‘There’s so much I want to catch up with you all in 2026. And I genuinely can not wait to do that. A fresh year, ready for some changes. To the moon and back from our family to yours.’

‘This Christmas is lit @sophiehabboo,’ Jamie captioned the post, which included photos of him holding sleeping Ziggy on the sofa

‘This Christmas is lit @sophiehabboo,’ Jamie captioned the post, which included photos of him holding sleeping Ziggy on the sofa as well as pushing him in his buggy through London.

Elsewhere new mum Sophie wore a fur leopard print coat as she took Ziggy for a stroll, as well as being seen comforting him in the back of a London black cab.

Jamie’s post came one day after Sophie shared other snaps of the couple settling into parenthood.

She snapped a selfie of her breastfeeding Ziggy, as well as a heartwarming shot of Jamie beaming down adoringly at his son.

Another selfie saw Jamie planting a kiss on his wife’s cheek, with a final image revealing a peek inside the couple’s newly-renovated kitchen, complete with a Christmas tree and festooned with lights.

The pair only just moved into their new abode, rumoured to be worth £12million, after a 14-month renovation, that Jamie joked had left them ‘nearly divorced‘.

And the reality star also took to his TikTok to update his followers on their parenting journey, as he and Sophie listed all the things they’d been surprised to learn so far while out on a stroll.
