Jamie Laing recently completed an impressive ultramarathon challenge running a brutal 150 miles over five days.
The TV star’s wife Sophie Habboo proudly supported her husband as he left BBC Broadcasting House to embark on a gruelling London to Salford.
The Strictly Come Dancing finalist, 36, broke down in tears in the emotional final moment, before running into the arms of his wife Sophie Haboo, 30, as the crowds cheered on his immense success.
‘That was a wild ride everyone, that was intense at times, that was emotional, I’ve never cried more in my life,’ he told his radio co-hosts Greg James and Vick Hope.
‘It is a pretty cool experience and I want to say a big thank you to every single person… who has donated and supported and sent messages.’
Ahead of sprinting to the finish line, Jamie was praised by BBC presenters for how ‘gracious’ he had been during the run, stopping to pause for selfies with fans throughout, despite struggling with the challenge.
The run raised £2,007,114, according to a shared social media post from BBC Radio 1 and Comic Relief on Friday.
Sophie was by his side during the rewarding yet gruelling process, but how long have they been together?
Are Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo married?
Jamie and Sophie met on the E4 reality show Made In Chelsea, realising their mutual attraction in 2019.
Jamie previously explained that they started off as ‘best friends’ before feelings of attraction began to develop three years into their friendship.
He emphasised how much ‘respect’ they have about each other, despite the fact that they constantly take the mick in their playful relationship.
The pair were engaged in 2021 and got married in a low-key ceremony at Chelsea Registry Office in April 2023, surrounded by friends and family.
They then jetted off to Marbella, Spain in March to celebrate with a second, more lavish, wedding ceremony.

She graduated from Newcastle University in 2015 with a degree in Media, Communications and Cultural Studies.
The Newlyweds podcast star candidly opened up on her marriage on an episode of the show, revealing that their relationship hits the rocks twice a year.
Sophie revealed that things often get so heated that her husband packs a bag and claims he’s walking out on her.
In the latest episode, Sophie told listeners: ‘When Jamie’s really, really angry with me, when we have had the worst fight ever, what he does is he’ll come in and he’ll go, Sophie – I’m leaving you.’
Sophie continued: ‘And he does it, maybe, I’d say twice a year. And I’ll go, okay. And he’ll be like “I don’t want you to react. But there’s no point in talking to me. I am leaving you. And I, I’ve got my backpack and I’m going” and I go, “all right.”’
