"💖 completing our little family , what a dream come true ! 💖 ," Cuoco wrote in her caption. "This second time around journey has been a little windier in many ways , but wow we are so grateful for this moment!!"
"Little sissy on the way!!! @tommypelphrey girl dad for life 🎀 and yes, the last pic is our dainty princess giving us the middle finger!🤦🏼♀️😆."
In September 2024, the star spoke with PEOPLE about the possibility of growing her family, sharing that she and her fiancé were in no rush to walk down the aisle — and were open to the possibility of welcoming another baby before tying the knot.
When asked if any of her dogs would be in their wedding, Cuoco laughed and said that she and Pelphrey “haven't started planning anything yet” and that “maybe another kid will have to come first.”
“We're gonna go way out of order. That’s our plan,” said the Big Bang Theory alum.

Cuoco's daughter, Matilda, is keeping her busy in the meantime. “She is running around. She is screaming. She eats everything. She loves being outside. She loves her dad,” the Emmy nominee said of the toddler at the time.
“She loves airplanes and monster trucks, helicopters. Anything in the sky she thinks is the most amazing thing. And she loves horses, so that's great."
Cuoco announced her engagement to Pelphrey on Instagram Stories in August 2024. She shared a selfie of the pair with her hand raised to show off her new ring. "Amazing weekend,” she wrote on the snap.
The couple's happy news came more than two years after she first confirmed her relationship with the Ozark alum in May 2022 on Instagram.

Shortly after going Instagram-official with their love, Cuoco revealed to USA Today that the couple first connected in April 2022 when they were set up by their mutual manager, Andrea Pett-Joseph, who thought they would be “perfect for each other.”
When they later met in person at the Ozark premiere, Cuoco said she knew it was special.
"I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting. It hit me. It was love at first sight," she recalled to the outlet. "We were immediately connected. I do feel like I've known him my whole life, but I wasn't ready for him."
"We're ready to build a life together," she added at the time.
