It was Kaley Cuoco’s 39th birthday, but her 19-month-old daughter Matilda “Tildy” Carmine stole the spotlight with her adorable moments. The Big Bang Theory star shared a series of heartwarming videos and pictures from her early birthday celebration, giving fans a glimpse of the sweetest day spent with her fiancé, Tom Pelphrey, and their little girl.
Cuoco, whose birthday is on November 30, kicked off her birthday celebrations with an early farm-themed party hosted by her “barn fam” from Big Bay City. She posted pictures on her Instagram story showing herself sitting on hay bales surrounded by barn animal balloons and dogs running around. “Since I’m leaving town, my barn fam threw me an early bday farm party and it may have been the cutest thing ever,” Cuoco wrote.
However, it was Tildy who captured everyone’s hearts. In one video, Cuoco showed her daughter joyfully riding in a golf cart with her mother, with three dogs by their side. “All my girl wanted to do was drive around in the golf cart lol,” Cuoco captioned the adorable clip.
The emotional moment continued with a video set to the song “Days I Will Remember” by Tyrone Wells. Cuoco held Tildy in her arms as they leaned over together to blow out candles on a birthday cake. Tildy clapped her hands in delight after the candles were blown out, leaving Cuoco to reflect, “My girl blowing out my candles with me?!! How did a dream become life?!”
Cuoco also shared the incredible gift she received: a life-size rocking horse made from the wood of a tree that had fallen on their property. “There are no words to describe this gift,” Cuoco wrote, expressing her gratitude for the effort it took to create the unique and thoughtful present. She even posted a picture of herself sitting on the rocking horse, beaming with joy, while climbing up with a set of portable stairs.
Another fun gift was a life-sized cut-out of Cuoco holding a cake, gifted by photographer Claud Craig. “Thank you @claudcraig for the ‘one more before 40’ statue of myself,” Cuoco joked in a photo next to the cut-out, adding, “Who’s who seriously lol.”
Fans also got a glimpse of Cuoco and Tildy’s adorable selfie, with both mother and daughter sticking out their tongues. Later, Cuoco shared a heartwarming video of Tildy enjoying a swing ride, gently pushed by a trainer, while a pony stood nearby. “Shmooshy pushing Tildy on the swing omg I cannot,” Cuoco wrote, adding crying emojis to express how precious the moment was.
In a recent interview with E! News, Cuoco opened up about her experiences as a mother, stressing the importance of embracing one’s parenting style without succumbing to negativity from others. “Every mom I can guarantee is doing the best they can,” Cuoco said, emphasizing that all kids are different and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting.
With a loving family and a joyful little girl by her side, Cuoco is clearly soaking up every moment of her special day and the year ahead.
