Kaley Cuoco is still over the moon about her engagement!
The actress showed off her giant rock on her Instagram story, and the details are indeed glorious.
Kaley Cuoco said the big yes to her long-time boyfriend, Tom Pelphrey, over the weekend with their daughter as an honored witness of the intimate proposal.
Kaley Cuoco Serenades Fiancé With Sweet Words
The actress gave a clear view of her stunning ring resting on her finger as she described her and Pelphrey's love story as "a wild, beautiful journey life can be."
She expressed her gratitude for "every road that led" her to Pelphery and disclosed that her partner collaborated with @shahlakarimi_jewelry to create the "once in a lifetime slice of perfection."
An elated Cuoco declared that her "heart can't take it" and thanked the duo for creating such a timeless masterpiece. The fine piece of jewelry featured a dazzling center cushion diamond stone complemented by two smaller yellow diamond stones in different cuts.
Karimi is known for her unique designs — she designed two ruby rings for Taylor Swift, which she wore to the 2024 Super Bowl in February.
Inside Cuoco & Pelphrey's Intimate Engagement
The famous TV star announced her engagement with a simple portrait of her hands over Pelphrey's face, captioned "Amazing weekend."
The Blast noted that the pair looked utterly in love as Cuoco shared two more slides from their weekend getaway with their one-year-old, Matilda.
Cuoco and Pelphrey held their daughter in a big cuddle in one of the slides, which the actress reposted from her fiance's Instagram story.
The family of three donned matching black shirts for their little photo session, as Cuoco acknowledged that "Everybody's got their little slice of heaven."
The Couple's Connection Was Instant
Cuoco, who reportedly declared her intention to never get married after two failed attempts, could not ignore Cupid's arrow the moment she set eyes on Pelphrey.
The actress confessed to feeling like "her life was over or just starting" when she heard his voice and turned around at the premiere of Ozark in April 2022, where they first met.
Cuoco declared that she felt like she had known the Ozark actor her whole life but was not ready for him, adding, "It hit me. It was love at first sight."
Cuoco was previously married to Karl Cook but filed for divorce in September 2021 after three years of marriage. She began her marital journey with tennis player Ryan Sweeting, but the union only lasted for two years as they parted ways in 2015.
Tom Pelphrey Was Initially In The Dark About Cuoco's Famous On-Screen Character
Despite meeting at a movie premiere with the influence of their manager, Andrea Pett Joseph, Pelphery admitted to not knowing Cuoco played a huge role in "The Big Bang Theory."
He stated that he had not seen her in any movie at the beginning of their romanceand that he was quite the introvert. In his words:
"Look, I live in a cave. Before I met Kaley, I was living in upstate New York on a dirt road in the middle of the woods, without much Wi-Fi. She's brought me into modern times."
The cat was eventually let out of the bag when he introduced Cuoco to his friends and family on a visit to New Jersey. He noticed his mother's partner referring to Cuoco as "Penny," her character name in "TBBT," which ran from 2007 to 2019 on CBS.
A curious Pelphery then asked Cuoco what his mother's partner meant by that name, and the actress clarified that it was for her popular character on the epic comedy series.
Kaley Cuoco Got A Huge Gift From Matilda Last Thanksgiving
The proud mom shared clips of a heartwarming present she received from her daughter last Thanksgiving.
The video, which she tagged "Happy Thanksgiving," featured her daughter repeating the word "mama" as she sat on her lap in a bright blue tee and clear-framed glasses.
An emotional Cuoco could not hold back her shock as she exclaimed, "'Mama?!' What?! You just said, 'Mama!' What was that? Mama?!" Last year was a year of many firsts for the mother and daughter as she also introduced her daughter to a new furry friend.
The actress, who is a sucker for pets and animals herself, shared a video of the cute exchange and wrote, "Someone got a new pony…And it wasn't me lol."
Matilda also bonded with the family pet dog, Opal, who was seen in different clips lounging beside the toddler, playing with her nose, and showering her with adorable kisses.
