Since revealing their happy news, the couple documented their journey to becoming new parents on their podcast. 

In one podcast episode, Habboo revealed a rather unsavoury pregnancy symptom she had experienced.

Speaking to her husband in an August episode of their podcast, Habboo revealed that she noticed her teeth were “rotting”.

”The best thing about pregnancy is my teeth are rotting,” she joked before clarifying, “It’s not [funny]”.

Despite the frustrating pregnancy symptoms, Habboo clarified that she was very happy to be pregnant.

“I’m very grateful, I’m pregnant, it’s fine, we’re having a great time,” she said.

Habboo and Laing became engaged back in 2021 and tied the knot at a wedding in Spain in 2023.
