Cuoco shared family photos on Wednesday, the first of which revealed the baby\u2019s gender with a large cake filled with pink. Cuoco wrote: \u201cCompleting our little family. What a dream come true. This second time around journey has been a little windier in many ways, but wow we are so grateful for this moment!!. Little sissy on the way!!! !\u201d<\/p>\n

Their first daughter, Matilda, was born in 2023. Cuoco in the post called Pelphrey \u201cgirl dad for life.\u201d Among the photos, she included an ultrasound image showing the baby making a cheeky gesture, captioning it: \u201cYes, the last pic is our dainty princess giving us the middle finger!\u201d<\/p>\n

The heartfelt post has already received hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of comments.

Cuoco and Pelphrey met in 2022, became parents a year later, and got engaged in 2024. Cuoco had previously admitted that, although they were engaged, they hadn\u2019t started planning the wedding and had joked: \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll have another kid first.\u201d She added: \u201cWe don\u2019t go in order, that\u2019s our plan. I have four dogs and a baby, and that\u2019s a lot!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuoco has been married twice before. In 2013, she married former tennis player Ryan Sweeting, but they divorced three years later. In 2018, she married Karl Cook, but that marriage also lasted just three years.<\/p>\n

After her divorces, Cuoco said her days as a married woman were over: \u201cI want a long-term relationship, but I will never marry again. Absolutely not.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actress Kaley Cuoco, 40, star of The Big Bang Theory, announced that she and her fianc\u00e9 Tom Pelphrey,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471855,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-471854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471854\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
