Congratulations are in order for Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey who have welcomed their first child together.


The former Big Bang Theory star, 37, took to Instagram to share a series of snaps of her and Tom, 40, with their beautiful new bundle of joy.

She told her followers: "3-30-23 Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle.


"Thank you to the doctors , nurses , family and friends who have helped us immensely over the last few days. We are blessed beyond belief. @tommypelphrey didn’t think I could fall even more in love with you, but I did."

Kaley shared a series of snaps from the couple's first two days as parents, in which they cuddled their sweet daughter Matilda.


Tom posted his own tribute, adding: "You are the Soul of the Universe. And your name is Love.” -Rumi. My heart is full of love and gratitude for this miracle….

"Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey 3/30. Eternally grateful for the strength and bravery of my soulmate and best friend @kaleycuoco. You are incredible."

 Prior to the baby being born, Kaley had kept her followers up to date with her pregnancy journey as she awaited her little girl's arrival.

Amid their whirlwind romance, Kaley revealed that she was much more laid-back about the lifechanging experience of becoming a parent than Tom was.


The Flight Attendant star previously told ET: "I have no plan and I've read zero books so that's the type of mum I will be.

"Tom has googled enough for the both of us. He could probably deliver this baby at this point."


She added: "I think nowadays we get so caught up, right? We didn't even have all this stuff at our fingertips and now it's almost too much."

 

Kaley had previously revealed it was love at first sight with Tom, telling Extra in October: "My manager actually took me as her guest to the Ozark premiere, and I met him there.


"It was like the angels started singing. I was like, 'Hallelujah.' It was very magical. … It was perfect."


She added: "Last year was the rough year. I met Tom this year and I took a long time to look… within myself and realize I need to figure stuff out, and did a lot of therapy and self-reflection. [I] met Tom at the right moment."
