Details of Sophie’s pregnancy and birth will no doubt be documented in their upcoming Disney show following their life as new parents.
Sophie recently revealed why she won’t let anyone kiss her newborn baby.
The blonde beauty said the very thought of people kissing her little one gives her sleepless nights.
Speaking on their Nearly Parents podcast, Sophie said: ‘No one’s f*****g kissing my baby. And I’m gonna say this on this podcast: If anyone comes and kisses my newborn baby, I will punch you in the face.
Jamie laughed as Sophie added: ‘Please do not come near my baby and risk giving my baby germs.
Pointing at Jamie, she continued: ‘And you were gonna be like to me “No, but that woman said that we should give them immune system, smother them with kisses, stranger, and it just gives me sleepless nights.’
Laughing, Jamie replied: ‘No, I’m not gonna be like that. Honey, what I said was this, someone said you gotta let them get dirt, so I went, “Oh, so we’ll just take them into the garden and put mud on them.’
Attempting to stifle a laugh, Sophie told the cameras: ‘Yeah, that’s what he genuinely said. We’ll just like put the baby in with like the mud, and we don’t wash it off, I was like, probably not at newborn stage.’
The pair were inundated with well wishes from their celebrity pals

Back in April Jamie and Sophie spilled the beans on their baby plans.
The pair got candid about their future plans on building a family during a chat with The Times.
‘I was really scared about kids,’ Jamie explained.
‘It’s something you can’t control. Sophie would then carry a baby, all these different things that I can’t control and, ‘Oh God, what happens if this happen or that happens?’ But I saw a clip on Instagram where someone said, ‘The best thing I ever had is being called Dad.’
‘I was like, ‘Oh, wouldn’t that be cool?’ So now I’m so down for it. I would like to have loads.’
Jamie added he would be up for four kids, and the blonde beauty agreed with him sweetly.
Sophie and Jamie had two weddings – a civil ceremony at Chelsea Town hall before jetting to Spain for a bigger, more lavish ceremony.
A host of their Made In Chelsea co-stars were in attendance including Sam Thompson, Olivia Bentley, Emily Blackwell, Spencer Matthews and Oliver Proudlock.
Blonde beauty Sophie got engaged to Jamie in December 2021 after they started dating in April 2019 on the show.
At the time they revealed that they turned down offers to film their wedding for a Made In Chelsea special – just after the Strictly star quit the E4 series to save their romance.
The couple revealed they had decided against turning their nuptials into a reality spinoff show because Jamie believed relationships have a better chance of surviving away from the cameras.
The Candy Kittens owner told MailOnline reality TV is ‘tough on the soul’ and after realising he wanted to marry former co-star Sophie he knew his departure from Made In Chelsea was inevitable.
Jamie revealed: ‘We got asked to do a TV show but it’s tricky.

‘I have done reality for so long and it’s tough on the soul. I don’t think TV is ever on your own terms so unless you have control over those things then it’s quite difficult.
‘It’s one of those things that you must decide whether you want to go down the reality TV route again or not.
‘Once you get married, what happens then? Do we do another show about being married… when does it end? For the moment I am parking reality.’
In agreement with her husband-to-be, Sophie added at the time: ‘It is a day for us and our family and friends.’
Jamie and Sophie found love on the show after being friends for several years.
Their romance caused quite a stir as Sophie had been pals with several of Jamie’s exes.
