"Prayed for this": Dwight Howard goes Instagram official with new girlfriend Amy Luciani in heartfelt snaps

The good news keeps coming for Dwight Howard, who is now eligible to be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025. In addition to Howard being eligible to join the Hall of Fame, he also went Instagram official with his new girlfriend, Amy Luciani, on Friday.

In a post on Instagram, Howard shared two pictures of him and Luciani along with a caption announcing their relationship to the world accompanied by an infinity sign:

"Happy #BlackLove #PrayedForThis"

Meanwhile, in a post on Luciani's Instagram page, she seemed to indicate that the pair are engaged, posting a clip of Dwight Howard checking out what appears to be an engagement ring on her finger.

In her post, Luciano wrote:

"I was enjoying you so much out of the public eye but here we are. Thank you for bringing me back to the word. Anything I say or fuss about, first thing you say is “Did you pray about it?” Then I realized I hadn’t being praying much lately at all.

"I’m just thankful, happy and ready for everything that’s coming our way. I prayed reallllll deep on a Thursday not knowing 2 days later God would send me a Bible totin, tattood giant with the same heart as me. Thank you."

Who is Dwight Howard's new girlfriend Amy Luciani?

Amy Luciani is a member of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. Additionally, according to Famous Birthdays, she is a YouTube personality and a content creator who co-hosted The Amy & Mazi Show with her ex, Mazi GA, before their initial split in 2022.

The couple's show racked up more than 250k subscribers on YouTube before their split. However, since then it appears as though they've transitioned to appearing on Love & Hip Hop rather than continuing their podcast.

On top of that, since then, it appears as though Amy Luciani has embarked on a musical career, releasing a number of songs that she advertises in her Instagram bio.

As she indicated in her post with Dwight Howard, the two have been keeping their relationship on the down low, however, now it appears as though they're ready to make things public as fans speculate as to whether or not they're engaged.

On the flip side, former three-time Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard has continued to pump out content of his own on the Above The Rim podcast after briefly playing basketball overseas.
