Pregnant Sophie Habboo jets off on babymoon with Jamie Laing as he shares funny snaps from their flight
shared some funny snaps of his pregnant wife Sophie Habboo as they jetted off on a babymoon on Friday. The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, took to his Instagram to post a fun clip of Sophie, 30, standing outside of an airport looking a little downcast. He then posted a funny snap of the soon mother-to-be curled up on a chair of a plane with a thick eye mask and a cap covering the top of her face. Alongside the clip Jamie penned 'Hey Mamma' before writing on top of her sleeping picture, 'The Mamma Is Out'. For their trip, which the destination of has not yet been revealed, Sophie wore a pair of grey joggers and a grey T-shirt. Opting for comfort, the former reality TV personality finished her ensemble with a pair of black trainers and a black jacket. It comes after Sophie revealed on her and Jamie's newly named podcast NearlyParents, that she has struggled with some aspects of her pregnancy. She confessed that when her second trimester hit, she felt like she was 'dying' and was dealing with a lot of hormones that made her frequently feel irritated. 'This girl has gone from a bit of a b***h to don't come near me,' she quipped. 'Up until week eight, I was smooth sailing. No good aversions, no sickness, so much energy, I was like what is every talking about this is unbelievable. 'Week eight hit and everyone's starting to grate to me a bit. Like that man sat next to me on the plane breathing, like is it illegal if I punch him in the face? 'If you're a fan of the podcast, I love you so much but you're not going to like me if you meet me at the moment.' Jamie said he struggled to get his head around Sophie's mood changes with pregnancy, recalling: 'I asked Sophie if she had any cravings and she said, ''No, the only craving I have is hating you''. 'I then spent an evening on Reddit looking at 'Why does your wife hate her husband so much when they're pregnant'. He went on: 'Sophie is teaching me to drive and I'm a little bit nervous in the car and she goes 'You're a s**t driver'. I'm literally in my head going 'Oh my god she hasn't eaten this is really scary'. 'Sophie then gets so angry she says to me 'I'm so angry I want to drive us both into the back of this car and kill us'. And then she started crying!' Sophie confessed that the 'anger is uncontrollable' but that it 'was very fleeting' as she lamented how her 'enormous t*ts' also meant she couldn't fit in any of her clothes. Jamie candidly told listeners how he owed her a real apology after not taking her hormones seriously and threatening to leave her over her 'grumpiness'. Sophie said: 'Jamie was like 'Oh you're just milking it, you fake all your hormones, there's no such thing'. He went 'Oh you're just faking all of this.' I was like 'Oh my god' as I'm lying there with my enormous t*ts out and I can't fit into a single thing.' Recalling the incident in question, she went on: 'We are leaving and I feel really sick this day and Jamie gets his camera out and goes 'I'm going to vlog today'. Like on my Sunday that I'm about to vomit all day long. 'And what happened was Jamie sits down and he goes 'I'm going to call my friends and ask them what I should do about this. Because I'm going to have to leave you. I'm going to leave you because you're just so unbearable right now.'' Jokingly pretending to break down in tears, she shared: 'And I went 'You're going to leave me and I'm pregnant'.' In defence of his actions, Jamie quickly added: 'The amount of people who are going to call me an a*****e. Just a caveat to add - I had no idea the emotional journey that you go on, how your body changes. 'I just didn't understand the extreme things that go on and since having read stuff on Instagram, I am awe of what you go through. The hormone change is wild.' Showing their Chelsea roots, the couple also revealed that Sophie's worst craving so far was for caviar, recounting how they had dashed around London trying to find a shop that was open at 8pm. Jamie explained they eventually found a caviar store only to discover a single pot cost £240, as he declared: 'I was like 'Well that craving has to stop there and then'. Sophie revealed that after some Googling, she learned it is recommended that pregnant people avoid the expensive delicacy due to the risks of bacteria and mercury. However, she confessed that the risks were the only thing that stopped her from eating it, otherwise, she would not have allowed the hefty price tag to put her off.

'I'm A Divorce Coach And These Are The 7 Things That Actually Help People Move On Post-Split'
Even the most calm among us can temporarily unravel in the throes of a divorce. As a certified divorce coach, I've seen it all: I've had clients pour out their ex's expensive whiskey collection, sabotage the digital thermostat from afar, and even refuse to flush the toilet. These actions don't just hurt the other person, but distract from doing the core work required to emotionally move on post-split. I've personally been through the divorce process twice, and I know that focusing my time and energy on productive steps helped me move forward and build a beautiful life on the other side. How do you do that, exactly? Allow me to share the seven concrete tips and habits that have proven most useful to my clients in their post-divorce journeys. 1. Reframe the story. Get ready, the questions are coming. In many cases, colleagues or acquaintances will dart their eyes toward your now-empty ring finger or crane their head while asking in a condescending tone: 'So what happened with your marriage?' Successful clients create a short, neutral 'divorce elevator pitch' to use in casual conversations—one or two lines you can easily remember. Try something like: Joe and I aren't together anymore, but what I really want to talk about is this trip I planned in the Fall…have you ever been to Italy? Disclose only what you want while guiding the conversation in a new direction. This will help you keep from spiraling or oversharing. Instead, you're in control of your story—after all, you don't owe anyone an explanation about your personal life. 2. Create physical space. Even if your ex moved out, it's time to revamp 'safety zones' in your house—meaning areas you designate as personal, private space for you now that the marriage is ending. I tell my clients to choose an area—it can be a whole room or a tight corner—and make it into a space that represents their beautiful future. One of my clients converted the unfinished part of their basement that formerly housed all of her ex's old sporting equipment and tools—she made it into a yoga room with flameless candles. I made a small nook in the corner of my master bedroom into an office, complete with hot pink folders, notebooks and girly art supplies I knew he'd avoid. 3. Practice structured communication. I advise my clients to do the same thing most divorce attorneys recommend: Avoid getting into an email or text war with your ex. These emotionally charged messages escalate conflict and often prolong the legal process which can be expensive both in time and money. Your hostile words, committed to digital record, may later be used against you in court. When you feel yourself ready to hit send on the tirade you've passionately written, stop and take a breath. Ask yourself if it follows the BIFF Response model: brief, informative, friendly, firm. If not, why are you sending it? In almost all cases, once a client sends an accusatory email to their ex, they regret it the next week. Negativity breeds more of the same. It might feel good at the moment, so write what you want to write—then send it to a friend or better yet, delete it. If you have kids, you'll be required to communicate and keep a schedule. In this case, I suggest using one of the many available co-parenting apps like Our Family Wizard which has features for everything from communication to calendaring to financial tracking. 4. Allow grief and gratitude to coexist. Even in the most extreme cases of divorce with violations like infidelity (sexual, financial, emotional, or otherwise) you will still likely have mixed feelings about the ending of a bond that was supposed to last a lifetime. A deliberate exercise can help process these layered emotions. I suggest writing a short 'gratitude letter' to your ex (you're not necessarily going to share this with them), to honor and reflect on the positive ways they enhanced your life. Clients read these aloud to me; they're beautiful. Many refer to their children, of course, but in some letters clients have acknowledged ways their ex helped them through a major pivot in their career or their appreciation for a friendship with a sister-in-law. When you start dating again, this exercise is good practice for finding balanced attributes in a partner. 5. Try new activities. Have you always wanted to try rock climbing but your ex was afraid of heights? Or hone a consistent yoga practice? This is the time! I learned how to cross-stitch during my second divorce, a hobby I never imagined I'd enjoy. My mind was busy studying grids and I found it deeply cathartic to repeatedly stab a cloth with a needle. Try something new, and if you don't like it, give something else a try. These new pursuits serve a greater purpose than filling time—you're reclaiming your identity and building a future defined by what you want for yourself beyond the past relationship. You might be surprised at the new passions you discover or the strength you find in embracing this new chapter. And, if you're seeking community in these endeavors, online divorce communities are fantastic places to find like-minded people who are looking to bring new experiences into their lives. In the best case scenario, you'll meet new friends and break mundane habits you had while you were married. 6. Diversify your tribe. I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you haven't personally been through a divorce, you don't know what it's like. Even if you have incredibly supportive friends and family who are helping to take care of you, this is the time to meet people going through the same thing you are. Seek out a community that's centered on moving on with grace and dignity; people who share your values. If it becomes a relationship-bashing group that doesn't feel authentic to who you are, find something else. Getting together and complaining over a bottle of wine with your divorce friends is part of the process—but everything in moderation. 7. Ask for help. Clients roll their eyes at me when I say this and yet so few of us know how to ask for the exact help we need in the moment we're struggling. I remember one instance when I had been sobbing on my couch for hours, then my brother called. He asked what he could do and I just blubbered that I wanted him to come over. He sat with me and watched sports while I cried. We didn't even talk, but it was all I needed. I tell clients not to judge the need for help and to embrace that little voice that feels like they need comfort. Most people are thrilled to help you. Therapy, coaching, co-parenting counseling, and religious support is available as well. Every step you're taking, however small, is a powerful investment in the life you want to have now. By choosing to focus your energy on forward momentum, you'll give yourself the best chance to heal and grow.

To All the Girls' Trips That Never Make It Out of the Group Chat
To our partners and whoever is watching our Instagram Stories, my best friend Jazmine and I are known for our trip-planning prowess. After years spent living in different cities, we've settled on a two-or-three-day travel format that took us to San Francisco in our mid-20s, Las Vegas in 2023, and to the Hotel Bel-Air for a particularly memorable staycation just this past spring, for Jazmine's birthday. Our greatest and longest-held dream trip, though—a stay at the Icehotel in Sweden—hasn't actually happened, and as I get older and flights to Sweden get even more expensive, I'm beginning to wonder if that's maybe…okay? Jazmine and I have been talking about going to sleep in a bed made of ice, inside a room made of ice, inside of a whole hotel made of ice since some long-ago high school sleepover I can no longer recall the particulars of. Yet experience has taught me that even the best-laid plans for a girls' trip can go awry, no matter how much you're looking forward to it—remember my sage, White Lotus-finale-timed advice about not taking three-person girls' trips?–and sometimes, it's more fun to dream and gossip and speculate about what you'd do on said trip than it is to actually go on it. Here is the main advantage of a girls' trip that stays in the group chat: it's free. Honestly, decking ourselves out in sequins and satin and dining at the Peppermill Lounge in Vegas was worth every penny, but the economy being as it is (and I say this as a noted personal finance expert), I worry that the guilt and stress I would feel shelling out on airfare to Sweden, or on renting a big, gorgeous house somewhere in the Loire Valley with my college besties, instead of paying for car maintenance or my dog's ludicrously expensive dried duck treats would cancel out some of the fun of the experience. Am I sickeningly jealous whenever I witness social media evidence of a girls' trip that did make it out of the proverbial group chat? Of course! But instead of corralling my friends into replicating one for ourselves, I'm trying to invest more time and energy in 'micro-hangs' with the people I love. No, a quick Negroni at a sunny outdoor bar followed by a requisite trip to In-N-Out isn't exactly equivalent to a days-long European romp, but I defy you to find a meal more appetizing to the sun-baked, cocktail-basted palate than a Neapolitan shake, animal fries, and a burger—no, not 'protein style'; never 'protein style'—in the car while the new Lorde album blasts from someone's phone because we can't figure out how to hook it up to the car stereo. Who needs Paris or Rome when you've got a fried-food-redolent parking lot in Studio City?

Woman Backs Out of Trip at the ‘Last Minute' After Friends Make Demand About Sleeping Arrangement
A woman was planning to go on a trip with her friends, but they delayed the booking until the last minute Once it was decided that she would be the one driving and would be sleeping on an air mattress, she backed out One of her friends called her "selfish," but she stood her groundA woman was looking forward to spending the weekend in the mountains with her three friends, two of whom were in a relationship. However, things got out of hand when they started planning the trip at the last minute. On Reddit, the 27-year-old woman explained that she and her friends found a good Airbnb that would have accommodated everyone, with one king bed for the couple and another room "with two single beds" for the poster and their other pal. Although everyone would have had a bed to sleep in, one of the friends insisted they needed a pool — despite only staying for one night. As they looked for places to stay with a pool, the original place was booked, and the remaining options were limited. "After that, the only places we could find had just one bedroom, a pull out couch, and an air mattress," the woman writes. The couple "immediately said they wanted the bedroom, but they're not offering to pay more for it." Meanwhile, the other friend "is recovering from an injury, so of course he shouldn't be on the air mattress," leaving the poster with the inflatable bed. She is also the only one with a driver's license aside from the injured friend, who isn't allowed to drive during his recovery, meaning she would be in charge of getting everyone there and back. "On top of that, I'm also the only one who has to work on Monday. I really don't want to be the one driving for hours, sleeping on an air mattress, and then dragging myself to work the next day all tired and sore," she explains. "I genuinely hate sleeping on an air mattress! I always sleep like s--- and it just hurts my neck." Given the circumstances, she told them she "was backing out." "I told them that if they want to do a trip like this, they need to plan it better so that everyone is comfortable," she shares. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. However, one of her friends told her she was "being a party pooper, being selfish, and ruining the weekend." "She told me I should just adjust so we could all have fun," she adds. "For a moment, I really did think I was overreacting cause it's just one night, and going to the mountains would be super fun. But honestly, it doesn't feel fair that I have the worst sleeping arrangement, and still get labeled as the problem." The woman debated whether she was making the right choice, but people in the comments defended her position. One person commented, "Have them sleep on the air mattress, you get the bed. Seems only fair since you are driving and have to work Monday." Another person commented, "Your comfort matters just as much as theirs. Remember, lack of planning on their part doesn't constitute an emergency on yours." Read the original article on People
