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.
