Tom Pelphrey and Kaley Cuoco are undoubtedly excited about parenthood after welcoming their first child Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, on the last day of March.
Fans would recall that five months after confirming their relationship in 2022, the couple announced they were expecting Matilda, who is set to clock three weeks on Friday, April 21.
Meanwhile, as the milestone draws nearer, her doting father is making some "daddy confessions," pointing at how much love he has for Cuoco, whose best qualities are amplified thanks to motherhood.

Tom is still head over heels in love with his baby mama, whom he has been with for about a year after initially meeting last April.
“Oh God, it’s so cool. She’s so good at it, you know. It’s like all the qualities that I love about Kaylee, times a 100. She’s so funny and she’s so nurturing and easy and playful and loving. I mean so loving, you know, it’s beautiful.”
Later in the conversation, Tom was asked how big he would go for Cuoco on Mother's Day, which will be her first as a mom. He exclaimed, "Oh boy! I mean," before jokingly noting that the baby showers the parents hosted set the bar high, but he believed he would have to "come in under for Mother's Day."
The response prompted the host to remark while laughing: "If Brad Pitt shows up in a onesie for Mother's Day, I'm pulling rank. That's enough." The "Banshee" actress agreed, saying, "Totally."
At the beginning of the month, Cuoco announced the birth of little Matilda using a sweet note on Instagram, revealing the newborn's full name. The update featured a series of pictures of Matilda unveiling her face, with some showing glimpses of the delighted parents doting on her.
"3-30-23 – Introducing Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives!" the "Big Bang Theory" alum began in the caption. "We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle."
She then thanked those who "immensely" assisted with welcoming the tot, including "the doctors, nurses, family, and friends." Before rounding off the message, Cuoco declared how blessed she and her lover were, after which she praised him, stating, "[I] didn't think I could fall even more in love with you, but I did ."
