The couple first announced they are expecting a baby on Instagram, posting a Reel. "When we agree NOT to tell anyone that we’re pregnant! This is how it goes 😂😂😂," Shaeeda joked in the post, which accompanied a comedy video of her immediately sharing she is pregnant.

A few days later, the two shared that they were on their babymoon together, posting a video from a tropical beach. "We are on our BABYMOON! A little 1-on-1 couples time before our bundle of joy comes! I live where you vacation 🇹🇹🏝️🤰❤️," Shaeeda wrote in her caption.

In February 2023, Bilal and Shaeeda shared some heartbreaking news on Instagram that they had experienced a pregnancy loss. The news came after the couple debated starting a family during a season of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After.

"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our recent miscarriage. We had been overjoyed to be expecting our first child together, but unfortunately, it was not meant to be at this time," the caption in a joint Instagram post from the two read.

"We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to all of the family, friends, loved ones and fans who have reached out to us with love and support during this difficult time. Your kind words and gestures have been a source of comfort and strength for us," they continued. "While we are still grieving and processing this loss, we know that as we plan and as G'd plans, G'd is the best of planners."
