Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey made it public in October that they were expecting a child. "Baby girl Pelphrey is coming in 2023," it said on Instagram at the time. The accompanying pictures included a cake with a pink filling and Kaley Cuoco's growing baby bump.

The couple met in April of the same year at the "Ozark" premiere. As Cuoco revealed to the US news magazine "Extra", it was "love at first sight". In May 2022, the two announced their relationship.
