Demi and Andrew, who also share a two-year-old son, Thomas, announced they were expecting a baby girl earlier this month.
Demi earned the praise of the internet when she announced the gender of her pregnancy with the trending 'I'm a Mommy' TikTok sound.
A playful exchange between Love Island USA contestants Huda Mustafa and Nic Vansteenberghe became an instant meme earlier this month.
In an episode of season seven, Huda told Nic 'I'm a mommy,' and he responded: 'Mamacita?'
The quote has been remixed into several popular EDM songs in recent weeks.
In her video, Demi lip-synced along to Huda's words and pulled up her shirt to reveal her bulging baby bump.
'Mamacita has a daughter,' she captioned the post.
Demi and Andrew, who also share a two-year-old son, Thomas, announced they were expecting a baby girl earlier this month

'Meet Beau Thomas Brooks! Coming in at 9lbs 13.5oz, 21.5 inches tall,' proud mum Demi captioned a black-and-white photo of the newborn.
'So far he loves his snoo, his hair being brushed and farting when everyone least expects it, he is his parents' child.. We are in SO much love!'
Demi and Andrew tied the knot in January 2022 with an intimate ceremony in Palm Springs, California.
'This moment, this day, this life, is better than I ever could have dreamed! I am so grateful!' Demi shared at the time.
The Australian-born beauty announced her engagement to the Disney producer, Andrew, who has worked on hits such as Nobody Wants This and Modern Family, on Instagram in July 2019.
Andrew proposed to his Aussie wife on the Fourth of July.
Demi captioned her celebratory post with an Independence Day pun, writing: 'Just said yes, FOUR-ever! #happyfourth #brooksfourlyf.'
The couple first debuted their relationship in February 2018.
Demi was previously in a long-term relationship with her Home and Away co-star Alec Snow, between 2014 and 2017.

In the Instagram story, Yane could be seen holding Jelena's prize for Best Factual or Documentary Program. 'Honoured to be holding this incredible Logie award,' he said in the caption, hinting the romance could be getting very serious, or they may have even moved in together.

Shopper in tears over Bunnings employee's unexpected act: 'Are you joking?'
Christian Hull has been brought to tears by a Bunnings employee's random act of kindness during a recent store visit. The Aussie podcast host was trying to get his hands on the sought-after Bride and Groom gnomes from the popular children's TV series Bluey. One of the workers at the store informed Christian that most of the popular $19 gnomes were already sold out but suggested he check the range in aisles 13 and 14. However, the two gnomes he wanted were nowhere to be found. 'Are there any secretly out the back?' Christian cheekily asked. In an unexpected move, employee Alicia told the comedian she had set aside the Bride and Groom gnomes for him, knowing he had been looking for the pair. 'Did you actually?' Christian said in disbelief. The worker, who's among Christian's 1.9 million followers on TikTok, decided to put the gnomes on hold for him after seeing his plea on social media. 'Are you joking?' he said. 'Oh my god, I'm gonna cry with absolute joy and happiness.' Christian burst into tears as the employee returned with the gnomes. Filled with emotion, he then started hiding his face under his hand, laughing hysterically as he realised: 'I'm a grown man.' 'Oh my god,' he added. The shopper said he couldn't believe his luck. 'I legitimately thought I was going to come in here, and they'd be all gone,' he said. 'But thank you to Alicia from Bunnings, who I'm campaigning for a pay rise.' 'Oh my god, I secured the gnomes I have the husbands and a wife,' he said. 'I repeat, I have husbands and a wife. How the f*** did I manage that? Well we all know how - it was Alicia. She was the absolute best human ever.' Sitting in his car in the Bunnings carpark, Christian said: 'Genuinely, hand on heart, (I thought I) was going to film my disappointment.' The shopper joked he had 'slept through' the 'buying craze' on launch day so he thought he'd 'miss out yet again' on the wildly popular Bluey gnomes. However, he thanked the employee for her kind gesture after she helped him secure the two gnomes he needed for his collection. 'What a rollercoaster,' he said. His video has been viewed more than 640,000 times - with many saying they were delighted to see the Bunnings employee going above and beyond for Christian. 'I love this for you. As a fellow Bunnings gal Alicia is a SLAY for doing this,' one said. 'This is so beautiful. I used to work in retail and had a few special customers I would keep certain items for that I knew they'd like. This is what exceptional customer service looks like, going above and beyond,' another shared. 'Alicia. What a legend,' one suggested. 'Alicia is the real MVP,' another added. The Bluey gnomes have been flying off shelves across Australia in recent weeks - just a year after they sold out in just hours.
