Jamie Laing slammed for trying to have sex with wife weeks after giving birth

It stirred quite the controversy online

On the NewlyParents podcast following the birth of their baby Ziggy, Jamie admitted that he “tried to initiate it a couple weeks in”.

In a TikTok clip posted by a fan account, which appears to have been removed from the original recording, Jamie denied the insinuation that he was “literally crying” as he asked for sex from her.

“Not only can’t you have sex until after six weeks, you also can’t have sex when the other person doesn’t want it”, Sabina reminded TikTokers, as Marina called it “horrifying”.

“This is concerning. Seriously nothing funny about it”, user Kapsonesmakreel2024 also said.

Meanwhile, Sophie said that “Jamie and I have always had a relationship based on equality and mutual respect”, when contacted by Metro about the response from fans.

“We don’t want our comments to be misunderstood, and whilst they might have been delivered in a light-hearted couple conversation as per the style of the podcast show, in no way should this be seen as making light of serious matters that do exist for many men and women.”

“We always take on board the feedback of our listeners and we will continue to do so”, she said.

The Candy Kittens co-founder was seen laughing as they recalled the moment, during the chat between Jamie and Sophie.

As Sophie explained her reaction and refusal to have sex with her husband, she said: “And I was like: Firstly, I actually physically cannot. I have stitches all down over me down there. Secondly, I have to be signed off by the doctor. And you were like: Oh that’s bulls***, always an excuse with you, you don’t have to be signed off with the doctor.”

Sophie then said she asked Jamie to “get on the phone to Tarek [the doctor] now”.

Jamie continued: “Sophie was like: I’m not having sex with you and I’m telling you why. And I was like: Why? And she goes: I’m not having sex because A) I’ve just had my stomach ripped open, I’ve got stitches everywhere. B) I have my son and your son sucking on my nipple every single day. I’m tired, I’m exhausted, I’m fraught. The last thing I want is you breathing on me. Get out of here.”

And as she wanted the doctor to confirm in front of Jamie that women shouldn’t be having sex earlier than six weeks after giving birth, Sophie revealed that she forced Jamie to come with her to her six-week check-up.

Jamie, 37, and Sophie, 32, confirmed in December of last year that their son, Ziggy, had been born.

The chat of former Made in Chelsea stars, which has sparked controversy online, seems to have been removed from available recordings of the podcast episode from early May on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Acast and Apple.
