Kaley Cuoco is celebrating her fiancé, Tom Pelphrey, on his big day.

The Big Bang Theory actress took to her Instagram account on Monday, July 28, to wish Pelphrey a happy 43rd birthday with a sweet photo of him and their family, which includes a chihuahua and a 2-year-old daughter named Matilda. The 39-year-old actress captioned the post:

“Happy happy birthday to our favorite ♌️! @tommypelphrey, you are the greatest there is and I love you more than mere words could describe! 💋 🎂 🎁 this is your year….!”

In one photo, Pelphrey can be seen standing by his daughter, who was born in March 2023, as she sits on a pony, complete with a light pink helmet for safety. In another, the A Man in Full actor can be seen beaming as he holds Matilda in his arms.

Kaley Cuoco confirmed her relationship with the Ozark actor back in May 2022, when she made things Instagram official. By March of the following year, they welcomed their daughter, Matila Carmine Richie Pelphrey. At the time, Cuoco posted on Instagram:

"The new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle."

By August 2024, Kaley Cuoco and Pelphrey got engaged. She was previously married to Karl Cook, though they broke up in September 2021 after three years of marital union.

Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey's relationship explored: From love at first sight to celebrating their first Father's Day together

Kaley Cuoco previously spoke with USA Today about the first time she met her husband-to-be, revealing that they met at the Ozark premiere in April 2022. At the time, she and Pelphrey were introduced to each other, and she knew it was "love at first sight." Cuoco told the outlet:

"We have the same manager [Andrea Pett-Joseph], and we were set up by [her], which is so Hollywood. She's like, 'Oh my God, I think you guys are perfect for each other.'"

She went on:

"I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting. It hit me. It was love at first sight."

Cuoco added:

"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."

By May, Pelphrey took to Instagram to profess her love for his fellow actor:

"It is all so familiar and possible. It is too simple that there is this much good in the world and you don’t know how to have it. And it makes you wonder when it was you lost your place. Then you catch a breeze, so warm and ripe, it makes you hope that someone will come who also cannot save you but who will think you are worth saving."

Notably, Pelphrey previously told W Magazine that he had no idea Kaley Cuoco was a successful star on The Big Bang Theory when they first began seeing each other. Pelphrey told the outlet in August 2023:

"I hadn’t seen Kaley in anything. Look, I live in a cave. Before I met Kaley, I was living in upstate New York, on a dirt road, in the middle of the woods, without much Wi-Fi. She’s brought me into modern times."

Instead, he only learned of it when he took her to New Jersey to introduce her to his friends and family. At the time, his mother reportedly referred to Cuoco as "Penny," which was the name of the character she portrayed on the show. Pelphrey said:

"I pulled Kaley aside, like, 'I’m sorry, I don’t understand what’s happening. Why does he keep calling you Penny?' She’s like, 'That’s my character in 'The Big Bang Theory.' I was completely unaware."

The pair announced they were expecting in October 2022, when Kaley Cuoco took to Instagram to share a photo of her and Pelphrey with the following caption:

"Baby girl Pelphrey coming 2023."

She added:

"Beyond blessed and over the moon."

Kaley Cuoco consistently offers fans a glimpse into her life with Pelphrey as she shares tidbits and sweet snaps on social media. This past Father's Day, she celebrated Pelphrey online:

"Watching you become a dad has been the joy of my life!" Cuoco wrote. "No one loves you more than that little lady (besides me)."

As of this writing, further details about their impending nuptials remain unclear.
