"We're so excited. It's all so surreal and still feels like a dream come true. He's so precious," Woody told the magazine.

"We had an at home delivery," Amani shared, "so it was nice to create that energy ourselves, surrounded with each other and the birthing team."

Amani, 31, called it a "special and very intimate" experience.

The new mom told Us Weekly of her adorable newborn, "It's still pretty early but we think he may look more like Woody, and he may have Woody's eyes. I think he has my nose."

And Woody, 32, gushed about being a new dad, "I'm very excited for Father's Day. I'm looking forward to taking all the cheesy pictures with my baby, and wearing matching outfits."

The couple explained how having a baby together was "a full circle moment" for them, according to Essence magazine.

"We took our love as strangers and created this human together. He's nothing we could have ever imagined, he's even more perfect. To have this baby together and to share this love is really wonderful," the former stranger spouses gushed.

Amani and Woody embarked on their journey to parenthood as they celebrated their second wedding anniversary together.

Amani announced her first pregnancy on social media in February 2022 when she was 24 weeks pregnant. At the time, she and Woody were celebrating their second wedding anniversary.

"Happy 2nd Anniversary to the love of my life. I can't wait to love you forever, Woodrow Randall," Amani wrote on Instagram.

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."

Amani previously told Essence that she found about she was pregnant "about 8 weeks" into the pregnancy after she initially thought she had "food poisoning from ahi tuna," which she apparently ate during a trip to Los Angeles, CA, to film a special that aired during the latest Married at First Sight season based in Boston.

"Woody hoped I was expecting," Amani said.

"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. He smiled and said 'What, are you pregnant?'"

"I nodded, handed him the positive pregnancy test," Amani recalled. "He smiled so big! I kicked him out of the bathroom."

Amani, still "unconvinced" at the time, said a third at-home pregnancy test confirmed the news for her.

Amani and Woody chose to stay married on "Decision Day" after meeting and marrying as total strangers on Married at First Sight's eleventh season.

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 during the episode.

"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!"
