Kaley Cuoco gets engaged!
On August 15, the 38-year-old Flight Attendant star announced her engagement to Ozark alum Tom Pelphrey on Instagram Stories. “Amazing weekend,” she captioned a shot of the actor and her ring.
The Big Bang Theory alum revealed her romance with Pelphrey on Instagram in May 2022. The couple has a daughter named Matilda Carmine Richie, who was born in March 2023.
“The new light in our lives!” We’re pleased and appreciative for this small miracle. Thank you to the physicians, nurses, relatives, and friends who have helped us so much over the last several days. “We are blessed beyond belief,” Cuoco captioned a sequence of infant images.
She later tweeted: “@tommypelphrey didn’t think I could fall even more in love with you, but I did.”
Pelphrey also made his own statement, saying, “My heart is full of love and gratitude for this miracle.” I am eternally thankful to my love and closest friend, @kaleycuoco, for her courage and bravery. “You are incredible.”
Andrea Pett-Joseph, the couple’s mutual manager, introduced them in April 2022. “She’s like, ‘Oh my God, I think you guys are perfect for each other,'” Cuoco recalled in an interview with USA Today.
When they met in person at the Ozark premiere, Cuoco realized it was something special.
After hearing his voice and turning around, it felt like my life had ended or started. It struck me. “It was love at first sight,” she explained. “We were immediately linked. I feel like I’ve known him all my life, yet I wasn’t prepared for him.”
“We’re ready to build a life together,” she continued.
Pelphrey chatted with people in May 2023 about his life as a new dad. “It is fantastic. “It’s heaven, but it’s challenging at times,” the actor remarked. “It’s the most beautiful thing ever.”
“I’m so grateful to have a partner who I love to do it with, because just two days with a baby in the house, I think of parents who are raising kids by themselves, and I don’t even understand how they do it,” he told me. “My respect for single parents has gone through the roof.”
“Just getting to put her in the stroller on a walk makes the whole idea of taking a walk more magical and special.”
He said of their future, “I am extremely eager for all of the holidays, ultimately coming to the East Coast, and her getting to meet the rest of my family and friends there. And it truly restores the mystical quality of things.”
Cuoco paid tribute to Peley on Instagram last month in honor of his 42nd birthday.
“42 never looked so darn nice! Happy birthday to my soul lover, @tommypelphrey. You make everything better. What a life! She wrote, “I love you,” above a carousel of photographs.
