Kaley Cuoco, actress of The Big Bang Theory, has given birth to her first kid.
Kaley, 37, and fellow actor Tom Pelphrey revealed last year that they were expecting their first child together after courting for about a year.
Now The Flight Attendant star has revealed that the couple has received a girl.
Kaley took to Instagram to share a picture of the week-old baby girl wrapped in a comforter with a bow on her head, and disclosed she was born on March 23.
She wrote: ‘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 💗.’
Kaley concluded by writing to boyfriend Tom, saying, ‘I didn’t believe I could feel even more in love with you, but I did.’
Baby Matilda can be seen yawning, cuddling up to her mother, and being tenderly held by dad Tom in a sequence of photos shared by the new mother.
One especially touching photo shows the new parents gazing tenderly at each other from the hospital bed, where Kaley is holding the newborn Matilda.
Kaley announced her pregnancy in October, after being connected to Tom earlier this year following her divorce from spouse Karl Cook.
They subsequently verified their romance in May and cemented it in front of the cameras in September, when they made their red carpet debut at the Emmys.
The following month, Kaley announced her pregnancy, and she was showered with love and support from admirers and celebrity friends.
While fans knew Kaley was expecting a girl, she refused to disclose the name she and Tom had selected for her – even to close friends and family, which irritated Kaley’s mother Layne Ann.
Earlier this month, Kaley took to Instagram to share a comforter purchased for her by the soon-to-be-grandmother, which was emblazoned with the words: ‘What’s her name? What is her given name? ‘Can you tell me her name?’
