Jamie Laing explains why he and Sophie Habboo are in couples therapy one year after marrying

Jamie Laing has revealed he and wife Sophie Habboo have been in couples therapy ever since they got married.

The couple first met while appearing in E4 show Made In Chelsea and began dating in 2019.

They originally tied the knot in front of their nearest and dearest at a Chelsea Registry Office in April 2023 before walking down the aisle for a second time the following month at a lavish ceremony in Spain.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, Laing told hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley that he was the one who had brought up the subject of couples therapy as he was concerned by divorce statistics and wanted to give their relationship the best chance.

Madeley, who has been divorced himself in the past, asked the reality TV star if there anything he has learned about himself through attending couples therapy that surprised him.

Laing replied: "I think I'm amazing, I was like, 'I don't have any faults' and then I found out that I tend to not listen a lot. I do things that can be slightly jarring or irritating, but when you start to have those conversations, I really do think relationships are all about honesty."

During his appearance on the ITV breakfast show, Laing also discussed his struggle with tinnitus, which he said caused him anxiety for eight years.According to the NHS website, tinnitus is the name for hearing ringing or buzzing that comes from inside your ears, rather than from an outside source.Laing said: “One in seven people in the world have tinnitus, or some form of tinnitus, so they’re hearing some sort of ringing. Mine started eight years ago and you have to learn to accept it, which is a really hard thing to do. When you first get tinnitus they say that, ‘This is forever, there is no cure and you’re going to have to live with it.’

“You have to try and sort of forget about it. But it is incredibly debilitating and it causes anxiety. Anxiety then makes it worse so it’s a vicious cycle which makes it very hard to sleep and people have to deal with it around the world and no one talks about it.”
