Amani first posted a montage video of sweet moments with her husband and captioned it, "Happy 2nd Anniversary to the love of my life. I can't wait to love you forever, Woodrow Randall."
She proceeded to post a slideshow of pictures from the couple's maternity photo shoot, and Amani wrote, "Today makes 24 months I've been married to the love of my life, Woodrow Randall. The biggest gift of all is being 24 weeks pregnant with the new love of our life."

She added, "Baby Randall coming June 2022! #therandallway #therandallwayplusone #babyloading #blacklove."
And Woody posted similar photos and wished his wife a "happy anniversary," before sharing, "Making a decision to have a child -- it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. — Elizabeth Stone."
Woody also shared, "Baby Randall will be here June 2022," and added hashtags such as #newbeginnings, #love and #baby.
The couple said in a joint statement, "We're so blessed to be able to embark on this journey of parenthood as we celebrate our second anniversary together," according to Essence magazine.
Amani apparently found out she's pregnant after feeling "pretty sick" for awhile.

"We found out I was pregnant after I was about 8 weeks," Amani told the magazine.
"I had been feeling pretty sick after a visit to L.A. filming for the MAFS Boston special [that aired in January]. I assumed it was food poisoning from ahi tuna but Woody hoped I was expecting."
She continued, "I took a pregnancy test that weekend and got a negative result. After getting home and still feeling nauseous, Woody insisted that I take another test. I reluctantly took another test one Saturday morning and yelled for him to come in the bathroom."
Amani said Woody "smiled" and said, "What, are you pregnant?"

Amani nodded her head, handed her husband the positive pregnancy test, and then he "smiled so big!"
"I kicked him out of the bathroom," Amani said with a laugh, adding, "Unconvinced, I took another test and got another positive result. Today, I am 24 weeks [six months] and couldn't be happier."
During a February 2021 episode of Married at First Sight: Couples Cam, Amani and Woody had been married for seven months, and Amani gushed, "I am still madly in love with Woody, and I think every day it grows a little bit more."
Amani also revealed she and Woody were ready to begin thinking about expanding their family since they had settled into a new home together.
Woody, however, wasn't quite sold on the idea of welcoming a baby just yet.

"I wouldn't mind you having my seed, you know, my baby," Woody told his wife.
"The only reason I say 'no' is just because I'd want a bigger house first. I think we've built a great foundation to want to think about a family and bringing a little person into the world. Me being a dad and you being a mom, I think we'd be great parents to a kid."
Amani said she could envision Woody being a great provider and a protector for their child, and Woody assured his wife, "I've got you."
"If we happen to have a kid, I know we'll be okay," Amani said. "I don't want to plan to have a kid."
Amani said there was still a lot she and Woody wanted to do before having kids, such as enjoying date nights and time as a newly-married couple.
"I just want to enjoy that before we bring a new dynamic into our relationship," Amani noted.
"We've got a plan. Hopefully we stick to it," Woody joked and laughed.
"Chill, we're going to stick to it!" Amani insisted at the time.
And back in December 2020, Woody revealed in a YouTube video how he'd love to have a boy first when discussing the couple's baby plans.
"I want a baby first," Amani countered with a laugh. "I don't care which gender comes first."

Woody acknowledged it wouldn't matter because he sees "the perks on both sides" and would just like to have a "healthy baby."
Amani then joked to the camera, "He's going to end up with all girls y'all."
"Don't even say that!" Woody responded.
Woody also admitted when they eventually raise their first child, he's going to be the "weaker parent" when it comes to disciplining.
"For sure," Amani said. "He's going to spoil our kids!"
"I'm a sucker! Clearly, I'm a sucker!" Woody shouted, adding, "I'm nice. I'm rough on the exterior, real rough, but as soon as you've got my heart, I'm a sucker."
Woody continued, "And I better not have a daughter! If I have a daughter, sorry fellas, she is going to be out-of-this-world rude. I'm going to make sure she is."
Amani joked, "And I'm going to make sure she's not."
"I want her to be fighting them off!" Woody noted.
"She can be nice nasty," Amani pointed out.
"I want her to be nasty nasty," Woody joked at the time. "I don't want them to even talk to her. I don't want them to look at her!"
