Just over one month after announcing their engagement, Kaley Cuoco revealed that she and her fiancé Tom Pelphrey are in no rush to walk down the aisle.
The actress went on to share how they ‘haven’t started planning anything yet’, in terms of their wedding plans, and that they may welcome another baby before sharing their nuptials.
‘We’re gonna go way out of order. That’s our plan,’ the former Big Bang Theory star joked with People of their plan to grow their family beyond daughter Matilda and their four beloved dogs.
‘I have four dogs now, and a [one-year-old baby], and a Tom — it’s a lot,’ she added, all while laughing at the mention of Pelphrey, who she has been engaged to since August.
Cuoco, 38, proceeded to share about how she’s going to put the brakes on, just a bit, and enjoy being a fiancée for a while.
The Camarillo, California native went on to compare the seemingly never-ending questions about wedding planning to the whirlwind after the birth of Matilda.
‘The minute I had my baby, they’re like, “When’s your second one?” I’m like, “Oh my God, is anyone gonna just let me just enjoy this?”‘ she said of the two big events in her life.
Keeping things hectic, in the best of ways, the first-time parents are staying busy trying to keep up with their little girl now that she’s mobile.
‘She is running around. She is screaming. She eats everything. She loves being outside. She loves her dad,’ she said of Matilda, before dishing on some of her baby’s interests. ‘She’s kind of like a boy. She loves airplanes and monster trucks, helicopters. Anything in the sky she thinks is the most amazing thing.’
Cuoco then quickly added, ‘And she loves horses, so that’s great.’
Cuoco and Pelphrey were first introduced to each other through manager Andrea Pett-Joseph, who set them up to meet at an Ozark premiere in April 2022.
‘I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting,’ the 8 Simple Rules star told USA Today in an interview the following month. ‘It hit me. It was love at first sight.’

She added.’We were immediately connected. I do feel like I’ve known him my whole life, but I wasn’t ready for him,’ she thought at the time.
Considering Pelphrey played the role of Ben Davis on the acclaimed hit series for Netflix, which ran for four seasons and starred Jason Bateman, Laura Linney and Julia Garner, the actor was on his home turf for their first meeting.
Seven months before being introduced to her future baby daddy, Cuoco had just filed for divorce from her second ex-husband, Karl Cook, which was in September 2021, after three years of marriage.
Cuoco had also been previously married to Ryan Sweeting for about three years, from 2013 through until the divorced was finalized in 2016.
Ultimately, Cuoco and Pelphrey went public and announced their engagement on Instagram Stories on August 15, with a photo of the soon-to-be bride flashing her engagement ring, which she dubbed, ‘Amazing weekend.’
That romantic moment happened more than two years after the The Flight Attendant actress confirmed her romance with the Ozark star on Instagram in May 2022.
Along with Ozark (2020-2022), Pelphrey’s Hollywood resume includes Guiding Light (2004-2009), As the World Turns (2009-2020), Banshee (2015-2016), Iron Fist (2017-2018), Outer Range (2022-2024), and the miniseries A Man In Full (2024).
The Howell, New Jersey native has been working all summer on an untitled crime-drama series for HBO that also stars Mark Ruffalo, Emilia Jones, Thuso Mbedu, Raúl Castillo, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Fabien Frankel, and Alison Oliver.
