During. After,' with a love heart and ring emoji. The actress showed off the romantic setting where Toby popped the question, which was a tropical restaurant beside the sea.
In February, Amy and Toby confirmed they had named their daughter Bonnie Mae Smith. Explaining their choice, Toby told OK: "We'd go on walks around the lake where Amy used to live in Leeds during lockdown and talk about names. Bonnie was one that came up really early, even before Amy was pregnant." Amy's happy ever after came after she endured heartache from her previous relationship. Amy was said to be left heartbroken after her engagement with musical theatre star Bradley Jaden abruptly ended. But a 'twist of fate' led to her meeting Toby. The pair met in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing back in 2019 when Amy was supporting Emmerdale co-star Kelvin Fletcher and Toby was cheering on co-star Emma Barton.
The couple found themselves speeding up their romance after country went into lockdown four months after they met. They kept up a long-distance relationship at first before taking the plunge and moving in together. And their pregnancy later came as a shock despite trying for a baby as they thought it'd be a lengthy process after Amy was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries when she was 20. But within two months Amy was pregnant.
