How Kaley Cuoco Marked BF Tom Pelphrey's First Father's Day With The Sweetest Gesture

Actress Kaley Cuoco shared a touching gesture that showcased her love and support for her partner, Tom Pelphrey, for Father's Day.

This year's celebration is the first time Pelphrey will be celebrating as a dad following the birth of their daughter, Matilda, in March. The lovebirds took the big step to expand their family just months after first going public with their relationship in May 2022.

"The Big Bang Theory" star took to Instagram to celebrate Father's Day with a heartwarming carousel of images featuring her boyfriend, Pelphrey, and their adorable daughter, Matilda. The photos captured precious moments of Pelphrey cradling and entertaining their daughter with toys.

A heartwarming moment captured showed the "Ozark" star carrying Matilda as a newborn with an iconic t-shirt that read "Waltzing Matilda." The mum of one captioned the post, "💙Happy (first) Father's Day to Tildy's favorite person! @tommypelphrey, watching you become a dad has been the joy of my life! No one loves you more than that little lady (besides me 😉). We 💙you forever and appreciate all you do for our family!"

The "Charmed" actress' tribute to fatherhood extended beyond Pelphrey, as she shared additional photos of her father posing with his granddaughter and Cuoco and her sister Brianna Cuoco. "And to my dad! The greatest pops and gramps on earth! Matilda is one lucky widdle chunk!" she added.

The "Can't Be Heaven" star shared a photo of Matilda rocking a navy blue new onesie on her Instagram story. The outfit featured text which read "Our first Father's Day" along with "Tommy & Tildy" written underneath an icon of a baby elephant with its dad elephant.

Pelphrey was not left out of the celebration; he also took to his Instagram to reflect on his new journey into fatherhood and the men who inspired him.

The 40-year-old posted several photos, including snapshots of him and Matilda donning matching Father's Day shirts. He delighted his followers with various photos featuring his daughter alongside moments captured with Cuoco. He also shared images of the Father's Day merchandise he was gifted, including a "Best Dad" mug and another mug branded "Matilda's Dad."

In the caption, he revealed that he spent his Father's Day morning "Drinking coffee with Kaley" and watching "To Kill a Mockingbird" on TCM.

"Watching Atticus, the 'perfect' dad, had me reflecting on all of the amazing men in my life," he explained. After paying tribute to the men in his life who inspired him, he sent his heartfelt appreciation to the mother of his child.

"Love you, @kaleycuoco - thanks for all the dad swag, a beautiful morning, and being the best partner in the world. ♥️♥️" Pelphrey concluded.

Since the birth of his child, Pelphrey has been open about his fatherhood journey in an April interview with Access Hollywood. The "Ozark" star admitted he wasn't entirely sure what to expect from fatherhood, but he couldn't contain his happiness following the birth of his first child.

He said, "I was surprised how natural it felt, you know, like being around my nieces and other babies in my family was always a little bit like scared to hold them, touch them, didn't want to break them."

Despite his fear, the 40-year-old admitted it was so easy to be a dad to baby Matilda. "But, as soon as they handed me, Matilda, I felt comfortable holding her. I felt comfortable moving her around and changing her, and that was a surprise," he explained.

Pelphrey isn't the only one who has had a thrilling parenting experience. The same can be said for his partner Cuoco, who opened up about expanding their brood.

Speaking on the "Smartless" podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, Cuoco opened up about her relationship of over a year, revealing that she became pregnant only two months into their romantic affair.

Cuoco stated, "We got pregnant two months in. We're like, boom, boom, boom. We're in sync." Later on, she mentioned, "We're not 20 anymore – we were like, 'We doing this or not?'"

When asked whether the duo would like more offspring, she said, "Yeah, we do."
