Cuoco and Pelphrey sparked romance rumors last spring after she shared photos of the two getting cozy on a scenic vacation in the mountains.

At the end of May, she opened up about her romance with the actor in an interview with USA Today. Cuoco explained that they were set up by their mutual manager, Andrea Pett-Joseph, who said they would be “perfect for each other.”

“I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting,” she recalled. “It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected."

At the time, she added, “We’re ready to build a life together.”

Cuoco announced she was expecting her first child in October 2022 in an Instagram post. She posted a selfie with Pelphrey as he held up a slice of cake with pink filling.

In the caption, she wrote, “Baby girl Pelphrey coming 2023.”

Throughout her pregnancy, Cuoco showed off her growing baby bump. Cuoco and Pelphrey also walked the red carpet at the 2023 Golden Globes shortly after her elaborate baby shower in January.

In the weeks leading up to the birth of their daughter, Cuoco celebrated her romance with Pelphrey in a sweet Instagram story. The 37-year-old posted a series of photos of the couple, paying homage to her boyfriend in the caption.

“Also @tommypelphrey just cause I can’t get enough of you,” she wrote, adding a heart emoji.
