Kaley Cuoco has officially revealed that she is expecting her second child with fiancé Tom Pelphrey.
The Big Bang Theory actress took to social media to announce the good news to her fans, writing an emotional message accompanied by snaps of both her and her family.
Cuoco, 40, and Pelphrey, 43, already have a three-year-old daughter, Matilda, who is now expecting her little sister to be welcomed into the world soon.
The actress announced her engagement to the Ozark actor back in August 2024, sharing a photo of the pair with her hand raised to show fans the rock on her ring finger.
She nonchalantly captioned the Instagram story: “Amazing weekend.”
But almost two years later, while the couple haven't tied the knot, they were thrilled to announce that their family was getting bigger.
Taking to her Instagram account on Wednesday night (June 10), Cuoco penned: "Completing our little family, what a dream come true!
“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!”
She also posted a carousel of pictures, fronted by a snap of the family of three posing in front of a gender reveal cake with pink sponge on the inside.
Other photos featured the actress's pregnancy progress, as she could be seen showing off her bump, in addition to a video clip showing Phelphrey watching a 3D ultrasound.
Cuoco's comedic comment about her second child flipping the bird in her scan was also confirmed in the final snap of the carousel, with a grab from the 3D ultrasound showing the fetus seemingly raising the middle finger.
Cuoco notably played Penny on the popular sitcom The Big Bang Theory for 12 seasons from 2007-2019.
Some of her sitcom co-stars even took to the comments to congratulate her on the good news.
Simon Helberg, who played Howard Wolowitz on the show, wrote: "Awww congratulations, Kaley!!!"
Melissa Rauch, who played Helberg's on-screen wife Bernadette Rostenkowski, also congratulated her former co-star, saying: "Absolutely over the moon for you all!! Love you!" with some heart emojis.
Friends star Jennifer Aniston and Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson also took to the comments to gush over the good news.

Kaley Cuoco is having a baby.
The Big Bang Theory star took to Instagram to reveal that she and her partner are expecting a baby girl.
Cuoco, 36, only confirmed she was dating 40-year-old Ozark star Tom Pelphrey in May this year.
Despite their whirlwind romance, the couple is wasting no time in starting a family of their own.
In an Instagram post, Cuoco shared a snap of herself and Pelphrey with a slice of pink frosting cake that had supposedly been used to reveal their baby's gender.
The Flight Attendant star added a caption in which she said she felt "beyond blessed", writing: "Baby girl Pelphrey coming 2023. Beyond blessed and over the moon… I [heart] you."
Alongside the gender reveal snaps, the post also included photos of the parents-to-be holding tiny baby onesies, Mama Bear and Papa Bear mugs and an armful of pregnancy tests.
Cuoco - who is best known for playing Penney in all 12 seasons of CBS's sitcom The Big Bang Theory - has been married twice before. She tied the knot with American tennis player Ryan Sweeting in 2013, and equestrian star Karl Cook in 2018.
After announcing her separation from Cook, Cuoco met Pelphrey in what she described as a "love at first sight" moment last April.
In an interview with Extra, the actor described how she first laid eyes on Pelphrey at the premiere for Ozark, in which Pelphrey plays antagonist Ben Davis.
"My manager actually took me as her guest to the Ozark premiere, and I met him there," Cuoco told the outlet. "It was like the angels started singing. I was like, 'Hallelujah!' It was very magical … it was perfect."
Meeting Pelphrey was clearly a turning point for the actor, who has previously spoken about not being ready to have children.
In 2018, she told Entertainment Tonight that she was "not there yet", saying: "I'm not quite there yet but I know that I will be 'cause I love kids."
"But I'm a worker bee right now — kind of my career is my focus," the star added.

Congratulations are in order for Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey who have welcomed their first child together.
The former Big Bang Theory star, 37, took to Instagram to share a series of snaps of her and Tom, 40, with their beautiful new bundle of joy.
She told her followers: "3-30-23 Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle.
"Thank you to the doctors , nurses , family and friends who have helped us immensely over the last few days. We are blessed beyond belief. @tommypelphrey didn’t think I could fall even more in love with you, but I did."
Kaley shared a series of snaps from the couple's first two days as parents, in which they cuddled their sweet daughter Matilda.
Tom posted his own tribute, adding: "You are the Soul of the Universe. And your name is Love.” -Rumi. My heart is full of love and gratitude for this miracle….
"Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey 3/30. Eternally grateful for the strength and bravery of my soulmate and best friend @kaleycuoco. You are incredible."
Prior to the baby being born, Kaley had kept her followers up to date with her pregnancy journey as she awaited her little girl's arrival.
She shared a photo of her with her bump, standing next to Tom and their dogs, as she joked: "Just waitin' on their human sister to arrive."
The couple had announced their pregnancy in October as Kaley shared a series of photos of them finding out they were expecting, including a positive pregnancy test.
Kaley and Tom began dating at the start of last year, going public with their romance at a Hollywood Walk Of Fame event in May.
Amid their whirlwind romance, Kaley revealed that she was much more laid-back about the lifechanging experience of becoming a parent than Tom was.
The Flight Attendant star previously told ET: "I have no plan and I've read zero books so that's the type of mum I will be.
"Tom has googled enough for the both of us. He could probably deliver this baby at this point."
She added: "I think nowadays we get so caught up, right? We didn't even have all this stuff at our fingertips and now it's almost too much."
Kaley had previously revealed it was love at first sight with Tom, telling Extra in October: "My manager actually took me as her guest to the Ozark premiere, and I met him there.
"It was like the angels started singing. I was like, 'Hallelujah.' It was very magical. … It was perfect."
She added: "Last year was the rough year. I met Tom this year and I took a long time to look… within myself and realize I need to figure stuff out, and did a lot of therapy and self-reflection. [I] met Tom at the right moment."
Congratulations to Kaley and Tom!

Kaley Cuoco has shared a video showing the heartwarming moment her baby daughter says "mama" for the very first time.
Many of us had a lot to be thankful for over this Thanksgiving Weekend, as we gathered with family and loved ones to consume far too much dry turkey and indulge in not enough carb-loaded sides.
However, it would seem that new mom Kaley Cuoco has plenty to be thankful for, as she was lucky enough to capture a huge milestone for her baby daughter on camera.
The 37-year-old Big Bang Theory star welcomed baby Matilda back in March this year with her husband and Ozark star Tom Pelphrey, 41, after sharing their pregnancy news in October 2022.
And taking to her Instagram Stories over Thanksgiving Weekend, the 8 Simple Rules actress shared what appeared to be an ordinary video showing baby Matilda sitting on her mom's lap.
Cuoco - sporting a blue t-shirt, effortlessly messy hair, and glasses - can be seen turning away from the camera while her daughter plays with what appears to be a belt. However, Cuoco's head quickly darts forward when Matilda starts babbling "mama". Check out the sweet video below:
The touching moment clearly meant a lot to Cuoco, and her expression really shows just how important these milestones are for parents. "Mama! What? You just said Mama," the actress says. "What was that!?"
Speaking to PEOPLE earlier this year, the star opened up about how Pelphrey has taken to being a father, saying: "I cannot believe how natural he is, how much he loves it."
"I mean, when we were in the hospital, he did everything — every diaper, he's the swaddle king," she continued. "All the nurses said, 'Oh my God, you're the best guy swaddler we've ever seen.'"
She went on to say that Matilda, "looks exactly like him. And he has a very distinct voice, so when he talks to her, she's like 360. Her head turns around, and she's like, 'I know that voice.' It's very sweet."
Parenthood is something that Cuoco has proudly gushed over on social media several times since she welcomed her daughter.
In a touching Mother's Day post - her first Mother's day since welcoming her daughter - Cuoco shared another heartwarming video with her daughter. Check out the video below:
"Did you make me a mommy? Is it Mommy's Day? Thank you for making me a mommy," she says. "I love you! You have a milk mustache."
Cuoco has also revealed the impulsive moment she and her husband decided on the name "Matilda".
In an interview with TODAY, Cuoco revealed that the idea clicked when they overheard somebody shout the name. "We looked at each other and it was like, ‘Would it be crazy to say if we had a baby we’d name her Matilda?’" she recalled "You know when you first start dating and you’re so obsessed, and you’re planning your future children? It was that sort of thing."
Congratulations to Kaley for being able to capture this new wonderful moment on camera!

New mom Kaley Cuoco has marked her first Mother's Day with her baby girl Matilda with a sweet post dedicated to the little one.
Taking to her Instagram stories on Sunday (May 14), the 37-year-old Big Bang Theory alum shared a video of her little one smiling. "Best first Mother's Day wake up ever," she captioned the post.
Cuoco can be heard saying in the video: "Did you make me a mommy? Is it Mommy's Day? Thank you for making me a mommy! I love you! You have a milk mustache."
Check out the video:The 8 Simple Rules star also posted an image carousel in honor of her first Mother's day, in which she lovingly described the milestone as "sweet".
She wrote in the caption: "Thank you to my wonderful other half (@tommypelphrey )for flying home just to spend the day with us and to all the incredible women who are truly helping us raise our sweet Matilda! We love and appreciate you!"
Speaking to People earlier this month about how easily her partner, Tom Pelphrey, has taken to being a father, Cuoco said: "I cannot believe how natural he is, how much he loves it."
"I mean, when we were in the hospital, he did everything — every diaper, he's the swaddle king," she continued. "All the nurses said, 'Oh my God, you're the best guy swaddler we've ever seen.'"
She went on to say that Pelphrey, 40, adores his little girl, who was born on March 30, 2023, and that "she looks exactly like him. And he has a very distinct voice, so when he talks to her, she's like 360. Her head turns around, and she's like, 'I know that voice.' It's very sweet."
Cuoco and Pelphrey announced Matilda's birth at the start of last month in a post on Instagram.
The post, which included several images of their newborn as well as the new parents, was captioned: "Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle.
"Thank you to the doctors , nurses , family and friends who have helped us immensely over the last few days. We are blessed beyond belief. @tommypelphrey didn’t think I could fall even more in love with you , but I did."
Needless to say, the post, which has been "liked" more than 2 million times, attracted a number of gushing comments from celebrities and fans alike.
Among her famous peers, the likes of Ashley Tisdale, Melissa Rauch and T.R. Knight congratulated the new mom.
But it was the comments from fans that were the most heartwarming.
One wrote: "Congratulations, Matilda is beautiful. Enjoy every day they grown so darn fast. My babies are 42 and 38. It seemed like yesterday."
Another penned alongside three red heart emojis: "Matilda was my mom’s name (she hated it, but I always thought it was cool!). Most everyone called her Tilly and her great-great granddaughter is named Tilly after her and she’s a spitfire just like her. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!!!"
A third commented: "I love that you posted photos just like any other local mom would. She’s absolutely beautiful, just like her loving parents! Congratulations!"

Being a celebrity known worldwide definitely comes with its fair share of perks and luxuries, but that doesn't mean that it's all sunshine and rainbows. Celebs like Kaley Cuoco are recognised by a lot of people, which means there are going to be plenty of fans and trolls to deal with, and it's not always going to be the most pleasurable experience.
Most fans of the actress likely just think she's good in The Big Bang Theory, but fan attention can get a little exhausting - even when it comes from a good place.

Cuoco's was simply sharing a photo of herself with her husband when one small detail got blown out of proportion. And, given the way the internet works, even a few Instagram comments can turn into a big story once a celebrity gets involved.
On Wednesday, the 33-year-old shared a photo of her from her European honeymoon with Karl Cook, who she has been married to for the last seven months. In the black and white romantic snap, she added nothing more than the caption, 'Love in Lugano', but it was her positioning that was enough to set some commenters off.

Because she was leaning in for a kiss, her dress hung in such a way that it looked like it may reveal a slight baby bump - or at least, that's what some fans thought. “Are you hiding a baby bump?!?!” one fan wrote in Cuoco’s comment section on Instagram, while another asked “When’s the baby due???”.
After this all spun out of control, with many of her fans wondering if she'd deliberately dropped a hint about a potential pregnancy, the actress took to Instagram to put the issue to rest.
Posting a screenshot of some of the comments to her Instagram stories on Thursday, she got pretty frustrated with the overblown 'scandal'.
“I’m so sorry I bent over in a way to where my dress billowed in the wind and made you think this,” Cuoco wrote. “Question. Would you walk up to me and ask this straight to my face?”
This isn't the first time that Cuoco has had to deal with this speculation before either. Back in October, she shared a photo from the InStyle awards, which also led to many asking her if she was expecting a child. In response to these "social media trolls," she said:
“So, because I’m in traffic I thought I’d take this time to comment on some Instagram trolls. I posted a picture this morning of my sister and I from an event last night and people said I looked pregnant.
“Now, would you ever walk up to someone on the street or at an event where they’re obviously dressed up and say, ‘Are you pregnant?' It’s just so comedic and shocking that people would ask that.”
“I’m not pregnant. I guess it was a pregnant angle. Seriously, shut up,” she added, but it looks like until it happens - some people are still going to be spotting it wherever they can.
