Kaley Cuoco, who is best known for the TV series The Big Bang Theory and The Flight Attendant, has revealed she is engaged to long term partner Tom Pelphrey. The 38 year old star posted a snap of Tom and her together, with her engagement ring on display, and captioned the photo: “Amazing weekend.”
Kaley and Tom share a daughter named Matilda Carmine Richie, who was born in March 2023. She previously posted a photo of Tom to celebrate his birthday on 28 July, writing: “42 never looked this damn good! Happy birthday to my soul mate @tommy pelphrey you make everything better…love celebrating every milestone together, what a life! I love you birthday boy!”
She also celebrated her love for Tom on Father’s Day in June with a post that featured a photo of Tom with Matilda and the couple’s two dogs. “You were put on this earth to be Matilda’s dada, and no one does it better than you. Our girl lights up when you enter a room and so do I. We love you forever!”
Kaley previously dated her Big Bang Theory costar Johnny Galecki during the first two seasons of the show, and the pair remain friends. In 2013 she married tennis player Ryan Sweeting, but the couple separated two years later and their divorce was finalised in 2016. She then dated equestrian Karl Cook, and they married in 2018. They announced their separation in 2021, releasing a joint statement about the split.
“Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realised that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions,” the statement read. “We have both shared so much of our journey publicly so while we would prefer to keep this aspect of our personal life private, we wanted to be forthcoming in our truth together. There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary.”
Kaley and Tom began a relationship in 2022, and were first seen in public in May that year at an event where producer Greg Berlanti, who works on The Flight Attendant, received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Tom previously appeared as an actor in the daytime series Guiding Light and As the World Turns and also the drama Ozark, and it was at the premiere of that series where he and Kaley first met.
“We met at the Ozark premiere, and… Tom walked in, and I heard his voice and I turned around, and it was like my life was over or just starting,” Kaley told USA Today. “It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected. I do feel like I’ve known him my whole life but I wasn’t ready for him. We’re ready to build a life together.”
The couple announced they were expecting a baby girl in October 2022 with a sweet post featuring the pair sharing a slice of cake with pink icing in the centre, and another in which they held mugs saying ‘Papa bear’ and ‘Mama bear.’
The pair’s engagement news comes after Kaley previously said she “will never get married again” following her second divorce.
