Actress Kaley Cuoco is flying high after giving birth to her first child.
The star of The Flight Attendant and The Big Bang Theory said on Instagram on Saturday that she and fellow actor Tom Pelphrey now have a daughter named Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey.
“The new light of our lives!” Cuoco posted, along with a series of pictures of the baby, who was born on Thursday. “We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle.”
Cuoco has been married twice before, most recently to equestrian Karl Cook. The two split in 2021.
Last year she began dating Pelphrey, and in October they announced they were expecting a child together.
The 37-year-old Cuoco appeared for 12 seasons on the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory.
She has played the title role in The Flight Attendant on HBO Max for two seasons, and was nominated for an Emmy for each.
It is also the first child for Pelphrey, 40, who has acted primarily in soaps, including Guiding Light and As The World Turns.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
