Jamie Laing has shared a candid reflection on life after embracing fatherhood following the birth of his son, Ziggy.
the first Made in Chelsea The star, 37, revealed he is balancing the demands of running his business with the daily responsibilities of caring for his newborn after his wife, Sophie Habboo, gave birth to seven months old in December.
Sharing the heartfelt statement, Jamie wrote: “I’m going to be honest for a second. I’m in the trenches right now. Ziggy is 7 months old.
And running my business while juggling parenthood while also trying to see my friends has been… difficult. Harder than they told me it would be. Harder than I (honestly) was prepared for.’
Jamie reflected on what his life was like before becoming a father and revealed that he could get up and do whatever he wanted because his business was his only concern. He said: ‘Before I was a dad I was honestly a bit selfish haha. I would wake up and do whatever I wanted. Gym, coffee run, walk.
‘Work was sneaking in at times it shouldn’t: early mornings, late nights, events. My business was the only thing I really had to worry about.
He continued: ‘Now my baby closes my days. He is the first and the last. And the time in between is spent simply studying as much as I can.
‘If you too are in the trenches right now, know that you are not alone. It’s mental. But it’s the best kind of mentality.
In addition to his sweet words, Jamie posted a video of some key moments from the first seven months of Ziggy’s life.
Jamie is currently on holiday in Mallorca with Ziggy and his wife Sophie.
