Philomena Carmine Bobby Pelphrey was born on 12 October to Kaley Cuoco, 40, and Tom Pelphrey, 44, who announced the birth on Instagram.
The couple's first child, Matilda, was born in March 2023 and is three years old, and Cuoco said she was eager to bring the newborn home to her.
Kaley Cuoco has become a mother for the second time and shared the news on Instagram with pictures taken at the hospital. The baby girl, Philomena Carmine Bobby Pelphrey, was born on 12 October, and her parents already call her Philo. The 40-year-old actress posted images of the newborn asleep and wrapped in a blanket. Her fiancé, Tom Pelphrey, who is 44, followed with photographs of his own and welcomed the child into the family. Cuoco wrote that the family is now complete and added a crying emoji to her post.
“There are no words to describe this feeling once again. What a blessing.”
Matilda, the couple's first child, was born in March 2023 and is now three years old. Cuoco said she was eager to bring the newborn home to her older sister, and she shared a photograph of Matilda in a shirt reading "Big Sister". Pelphrey described the baby as another miracle and called her the family's youngest queen. He also thanked Cuoco for continuing through the pregnancy, including on days when she did not feel well, and wrote that he and the girls would be lost without her.
The pair met in April 2022, according to one report, at the premiere of a new Ozark season, in which Pelphrey appeared. Another account says they were introduced through a shared agent in 2022. Their first child arrived in March 2023, and the engagement followed in August 2024. The couple began appearing together on Instagram shortly afterwards. The timeline below traces the main milestones from their first meeting to the birth of their second daughter.
Cuoco first revealed the pregnancy in June, sharing a carousel of photographs that included a gender reveal cake with pink sponge inside. Other images showed her baby bump, and a video clip showed Pelphrey watching a 3D ultrasound. Earlier, Cuoco had spoken about the pressure she felt to grow her family. She had also said another baby could arrive before any wedding plans were made, and the couple have not set a date for a wedding. Taylor Lautner, who had welcomed his first child weeks earlier, was among the famous names to comment on the post.
The actress first became widely recognised as Penny on the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory. Pelphrey is known for his work on Ozark. Cuoco's post described the pregnancy as a wild and uneven journey, and she said the family was now officially complete. Her message also looked ahead to bringing the newborn home to Matilda, which suggests the next family milestone will be a homecoming rather than another birth. No further announcements about the couple's plans have been reported.
