Uzo and Robert — a director and filmmaker — tied the knot in 2020 in a secret ceremony and publicly revealed the news after being married for almost a year.

After the show, where the Tony-nominated actor was also a presenter, Uzo shared an official statement on Instagram, along with an adorable video of her excitedly holding up a onesie.

"What a blessing," she wrote. "My husband Robert and I are so happy to enter this next chapter together as parents. I am beyond excited. I get to be someone’s Mommy! I know as the three of us continue to grow, our only, ONLY goal will be to love you, little one. My goodness. Look what God has done."

Of course, Uzo was met with so many sweet comments — including well-wishes from many of her Orange Is the New Black castmates, including Laverne Cox, Danielle Brooks, Matt McGorry, and Selenis Leyva, among so many more famous names.
