Amy, 34, is best known to Emmerdale viewers as Tracy Metcalfe while Toby, 30, is Albert Square psycho Gray Atkins.
Speaking to OK! Amy said: “We’re so excited. It feels as though the way everything happened was meant to be.
“I thought I might struggle with fertility, so for pregnancy to happen quite easily and when I wanted – I was gobsmacked. We feel incredibly lucky.”
Amy and Toby, who met in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, ended up pressing fast-forward on their relationship because of lockdown.
They decided to isolate together, moving in after just four months when the government told everyone – including soap stars – to stay at home.
The Sun revealed the pair had become a couple in December, when the pair turned up at a premiere together.

The new couple made their first public appearance on the red carpet at A Christmas Carol in London in December last year.
Speaking to OK! Toby explained he has already told his EastEnders co-stars and took Ben Mitchell actor Max Bowden for a drink to give him the happy news.
He said: “I texted Lorraine Stanley as she was actually there the night we met. I also told Linda Henry and Danny Dyer.
“Everyone is over the moon for us. They all said it’s such lovely news, especially after the year we’ve had.”
