Kaley Cuoco Celebrates BF Tom’s First Father’s Day: ‘Tildy’s Favorite Person’
Kaley Cuoco is thankful for her partner, Tom Pelphreyas they celebrate their first Father’s Day since becoming parents.
“💙Happy (first) Father’s Day to Tildy’s favorite person! @tommypelphrey watching you become a father has been the joy of my life,” said the Flight attendant star, 37, flowed on Instagram sharing a carousel of photos of Pelphrey, 40, and daughter Matilda, 2 months, on Sunday, June 18. “No one loves you more than that little lady (except me).”
She added: “We 💙 you forever and appreciate all you do for our family! And for my father! The best pops and gramps on earth! Matilda is one lucky girl!”
Cuoco and Pelphrey announced in October 2022, months after the debut of their romance, that they were expecting their first child. Daughter Matilda Carmine Richie arrived on March 30.
“They are both obsessed with Matilda,” a source told exclusively Us weekly last month. “They have a shared album for their friends and family that they upload photos to daily and they love showing off her progress. Kaley also likes to sing to Matilda, who likes music and shaking her head and dancing around.”
Pelphrey also happily embraced his new role as the proud parent of Matilda, whom they affectionately refer to as “Tildy.”
“It’s so beautiful. I was excited about it and you obviously have an idea of what it could be and how cool it could be,” said the Ozark alum poured in E! News in April. “Nothing compares to the real feeling. It’s so wild. … I just want to sit at home with Kaley and the baby and never leave the house. It is a miracle. We are so happy.”
Cuoco – who was previously married Ryan Sweeting from 2013 to 2015 and Charles Cook from 2018 and 2021 – and Pelphrey began dating after her divorce from Cook, 32, after meeting through their talent manager.
“I was graduating Flight attendant of [my] manager, who is his manager. [She asked,] ‘I’m going to the Ozark premiere. Do you want to come with me?’” de 8 simple rules alum recalled during a September 2022 performance at The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. “I got all dressed up and I stood there. I was [outside] the bathroom and I was waiting and I hear this voice – it was Tom – and he says ‘Where is this Kaley?’ It was like love at first sight.”
As the pair grow more and more in love and raise Matilda, they are already thinking ahead about their future.
