You probably knowKaley Cuocobest as Penny, the loveable everywoman in “The Big Bang Theory.”
In 2021,Cuoco split from her second husband Karl Cook.
“It was one of the hardest years of my life,” she later toldVariety.
However, soon after the acrimonious divorce, things turned around for Cuoco.
Things moved fast for the couple and by 2023 they had settled down together and had their first child.
Apparently, Pett-Joseph introduced the two actors at the premiere of “Ozark” in April 2022.
When Cuoco met Pelphrey for the first time, she knew he was the one.
“It hit me.
It was love at first sight.
We were immediately connected.
It’s all supposed to happen the way it’s supposed to happen.”
Whether their meeting really was fate or not, it was clearly very special.
In a 2022 interview withGlamour, Cuoco was adamant.
“I will never get married again.
I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership.
But I will never get married again.
Absolutely not,” she said firmly.
“you could literally put that on the cover.”
“I do believe there is someone out there.
I’m not someone that wants to be by myself,” she said.
The interview was published just seven days before Cuoco would meet Pelphrey at the “Ozark” premiere.
First, Pelphrey posted a photo onInstagramon May 3 showing a couple of Polaroids of the pair.
In the caption, he included a quote from “Noah’s Wall.”
Sounds like Cuoco thought Pelphrey was “worth saving.”

The final picture showed the pair kissing which Cuoco commented “My Tom.”
“To the incredible man that saved me in all the ways..happy birthday, baby!
Cuoco and Mamet had actually been living together after Cuoco’s divorce from Karl Cook.
“She stayed with me for months,” Cuoco toldUSA Today.
And when Mamet met Pelphrey, she gave her seal of approval.
“I met him and I was like, ‘I feel like I’ve known you forever.’
And he loves her like nobody’s business, and that’s all that matters to me.”
How adorable is that!
It seems that Cuoco has found a kindred spirit in Pelphrey.
In 2023, the pair even adopted their own rescue dog together.
Cuoco revealed the news in an Instagram story (viaPage Six).
We welcome Miss Opal (little widdle girl) into our growing family.”
At the event itself, the pair looked stunning on the red carpet.
Plus, fans also got the chance to see them interacting in their seats during the show.
Could these two be any cuter?
Before, she had always made her career her number one focus.
In fact, she was a bit of a workaholic.
“I just love to work,” she confessed toUSA Today.
“On a vacation, I’m on my phone the whole time.”
However, after she began dating Pelphrey, that changed.
“[Work is] now not the most important thing,” she said.
It sounds like this relationship made Cuoco far more selfless and it’s great to see!
“This was not a goal of mine,” Cuoco said in anEmmys interview.
“As a young girl I dreamed of it, but I became involved in my career.
And Pelphrey felt exactly the same way.
I love my career and wanted to just keep living my life.
But Tom came along, and something changed.”
Cuoco announced that she was pregnant in October 2022, just six months after first meeting Pelphrey.
“Baby girl Pelphrey coming 2023,” she wrote onInstagram.
“Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives!”
Cuoco wrote onInstagramalongside a few images of the adorable baby.
And your name is Love" (viaInstagram).
“It’s amazing.
It’s heaven, it’s challenging at times,” Pelphrey toldPeople.
“It’s the most beautiful thing ever.”
It sounds like these two have really embraced parenthood to the fullest.
Well, apparently, the couple was careful to settle on the name together.
And in that song, his chorus is a version of ‘Waltzing Matilda.’
So I’ve loved that song since I was 17, 16 years old.
Played it for Kaley, she started crying."
But wait it gets even sweeter.
Sounds like the name ‘Matilda’ was a stroke of destiny.
Pelphrey got the tattoo on his upper arm, while Cuoco got a smaller version on her wrist.
(viaHello!).
Not only has she already had her first child, but she also wants more.
And by the sounds of things, Pelphrey is keen on the idea, too.
After she was asked if she wanted more, she replied: “Yeah, we do.”
Later, Cuoco went into more detail about her and Pelphrey’s plans for future children.
We absolutely cannot wait to watch as this adorable family continues to grow.
After all, they’re both accomplished television actors.
Well, it seems that the pair are dying to find a project that works for both of them.
When asked if she wanted to work with Pelphrey, Cuoco toldE!
News: “We really do want to.
It’ll have to be something very special, but we would love to do that.”
But who knows maybe in the years to come we’ll see these two finally share the screen.
We certainly can’t wait to see more of them!
If you didn’t know them, you might guess that they had been together for a decade.
But no this couple has only been together for one year.
In April 2023, Cuoco posted an adorable tribute to Pelphrey onInstagramin honor of their one-year anniversary.
“How it started [to] how it’s going!”
she wrote alongside two pictures of them one of an earlier hangout and one of their newborn daughter.
Pelphrey also posted a message of his own.
Alongside selfies of the couple, he wrote: “Happy One Year bud… best year ever.
Love you more each day” (viaInstagram).
