The two, once very close on the reality show, had drifted apart over the years as quiet tensions grew. Matthews said he was “hurt” and “confused” by not being invited, explaining it caused a break in their friendship.

On Laing’s Great Company podcast, Matthews shared that the snub “hurt deeply” after he found out about the wedding from a newspaper article his wife, Vogue Williams, showed him.
I found it pretty confusing. I was pretty hurt by that and I tried to brush that under the table. During the wedding Soph was very anxious and having a really tough time… she had said to me before, ‘I just want to get married with my feet in the sand. I don’t want all of this, you want all of this Jamie.’
he said, adding it was hard to accept seeing other friends there. Laing admitted the choice was poorly explained and said it came from Habboo’s anxiety before the wedding.
He also said he worried that Matthews, who skipped his stag-do, might not want to come to the wedding either, thinking it might feel “weird.” Matthews made clear that missing the stag-do was because of his past with alcohol, saying those events aren’t for him, but he “would have loved” to be at the wedding.
The biggest mistake I made is not communicating with you, and I was very selfish, just focusing on my own emotions… I’m sorry that happened and if I could take it back, I would.
Laing apologised directly in the talk, saying
Matthews added he should have joined the stag-do without drinking and later reached out to Laing after his ultra-marathon charity challenge. The conversation shows the two trying to fix their friendship after rising to fame together on Made in Chelsea.
