The father of Mathilda is a known actor, but often people have to look twice before they realize who the man in Kaley Cuoco's Instagram photos is.

Kaley Cuoco showed him first on Instagram and also mentioned his name. She said, for example, "Pelphrey girl on the way in 2023. Blessed beyond the moon. I love you, Tom Pelphrey."

Tom Pelphrey is an actor who you may have seen in series or films. He had a role in the popular Netflix series 'Ozark' as Ben, the brother of protagonist Wendy Byrne (Laura Linney).

If you liked seeing Tom Pelphrey in the third and fourth seasons of 'Ozark,' you may also like the HBO series 'Banshee' where he gave life to Kurt Bunker. His co-stars included Antony Starr of 'The Boys' (2019-), and they made impressive TV together.

As for his private life, Tom hasn't known Kaley that long at all! Kaley Cuoco revealed to 'USA Today' that the two only met in April 2022, at the premiere of 'Ozark.' "It was love at first sight," she said. And just six months later, Cuoco announced her pregnancy!

"We have the same manager (Andrea Pett-Joseph), and we were set up by [her], which is so Hollywood," Cuoco said, jokingly. As the actress recalled in 'USA Today,' her manager said: "Oh my God, I think you guys are perfect for each other."

The connection was so strong that Tom Pelphrey made their relationship public on May 3, 2022. He posted two photos of the couple together with a beautiful note.

At the Emmy gala in September 2022, the couple made their first joint public appearance. No one guessed, at the time, that Kaley Cuoco was already pregnant.

Just six months after falling in love, the couple announced that they were expecting a daughter together.

After two complicated divorces - from Ryan Sweeting and Karl Cook - Kaley Cuoco seems to have found her "lobster," as Phoebe Buffay would say in 'Friends.' Or, as others would say it, "the one."

That the couple is adored in Hollywood becomes clear from the list of illustrious names that congratulated them on Instagram. Among the couple's friends are Julia Garner, Laura Linney, Sharon Stone, Olivia Munn, and Hilary Duff.
