Amara La Negra is expecting twins!
The “Insecure” singer and reality star revealed her pregnancy with a sweet post on Instagram sharing her excitement and admitting her fear about her second pregnancy with her 2.3 million followers.
“I am so excited to finally share that we have twins on the way,” she wrote in the caption of her grinning widely and clutching images from her sonogram and a fresh ClearBlue pregnancy test with her gold pearl encrusted stiletto nails.
“Even though I’m scared and nervous, especially after having a miscarriage… there is nothing better than seeing the word PREGNANT! I am also excited and have a roller coaster of emotions but it truly is a blessing.”

Miscarriages are extremely common and according to the March of Dimes, “For women who know they’re pregnant, about 10 to 15 in 100 pregnancies (10 to 15 percent) end in miscarriage.” A study published in peer reviewed medical journal The Lancet identified the risk for Black higher as up to “43%” higher than their counterparts.
Babies that have been conceived after the loss of a pregnancy are often dubbed “rainbow babies,” and mothers and other parents are increasing their willingness to discuss their journeys with one another and their communities on social media. Their transparency is working to lessen the existing stigma around the occurrence.
Amara used the hashtag #rainbowbaby to describe her two bundles of joy.
She documented her first pregnancy on Love and Hip Hop Miami and bravely revealed her loss to viewers on the show as well. In a recent episode she openly discussed how tough the experience was for her with her parents.
In another post of a full body video where she was holding her swelling belly she wrote, “I’m Pregnant! I’m gonna be a Mom! I’m pregnant with twins all natural.”
Congratulations to Amara and her family!
