Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey welcomed their first child together at the end of March. They celebrated their one-year anniversary shortly thereafter. They take turns gushing about each other in the press and they’ve been pretty much inseparable since they met through their shared manager. Kaley is clearly someone that loves love and Tom is right there with here. So with them both being all-in, is it any surprise that they really want to work together too? At the premiere of her latest TV series, Kaley told E! News that they would love to work together on a future project.
Kaley Cuoco might have a name in mind for her next costar.
The Based on a True Story actress, 37, told E! News at the premiere of the Peacock series this week that she is open to working on a future project with her boyfriend, Tom Pelphrey.
“We really do want to,” she said. “It’ll have to be something very special, but we would love to do that.”
The famous pair have been dating for over a year, confirming their relationship in May 2022 and welcoming daughter, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, into the world in March 2023.
During the Based on a True Story premiere on Thursday evening, Cuoco chatted with PEOPLE about what she thinks about her pregnancy being documented on TV.
“It’s kind of a cool moment in time to know that we have this set in stone forever,” she said.
Joking that her newborn baby daughter will “probably be mortified” when she sees her mother pregnant with her in the series when she’s older, Cuoco added, “But it was a cool thing.”
“Obviously, it was the first time I’d ever done that and been able to do that. And it was a new experience for me,” she continued. “I’ve been working a long time, and it’s rare when things are very new and this was very new. I had a lot of help, a lot of friends, everyone at work, they took care of me like crazy and I ate a lot of bad stuff and it was a blast.”
Based on a True Story, which also features performances from Chris Messina, Tom Bateman, Natalia Dyer and more, begins airing June 8 on Peacock.
Is this Kaley’s way of trying to get her man a job? I kid, Tom does work steadily. But he’s more of a character actor and he doesn’t headline projects or have anywhere close to the name recognition Kaley does. He is, dare I say, generic-attractive, and while I’ve seen stuff he’s been in, he didn’t jump out and I didn’t know who he was until he got together with Kaley. Anyway, they seem super into each other and they’re probably still in the honeymoon phase given the relative newness of their relationship, so I would say don’t ruin it by working together. But Kaley is less cynical than I am. Shortly after her second divorce and publicly saying she would never marry again, Kaley met Tom and it was “love at first sight.” She also recently told Emmy Magazine that when she met Tom they “instantaneous[ly]” wanted to have children together. Interesting, since given the timeline I assumed the pregnancy was a welcome surprise, but knowing how Kaley jumps into relationships I guess it’s not that shocking. Tom is right there with her and it’s great they got what they wanted. Maybe they should work together because they are a great match.
Kaley’s new series looks good and she had her pregnancy written into the storyline. I like Kaley’s projects and it includes my Best Chris, Chris Messina, so I’m so in.

Great for you Kaley. I came here for Chris Messina .I am so excited to watch this. And he is just delicious and so talented. More CM please.
Has she always played the same type of characters, slightly dim? She and Tom look kind of alike in the top pic.
I just want her hair out of her eyes! The trailer looks good.
Oof, ya! I don’t, as a general rule, subscribe to the bangs trauma theory, but that hairstyle in the first photo is no bueno. It makes her look like a wooden spoon.
I have always been on the meh side of KC, but listened to her on the Smartless podcast this morning and she may have charmed my cold heart a bit.
@Peridot: Pelphrey was very very good in Ozark
He was also very good in Banshee which is where I first saw him. I saw he was in some weird alien show with Josh Brolin but I couldn’t get into it after the first couple of episodes.
Oh after Ozark I look for Tom EVERYWHERE! He was a tour de force! Was also excellent in Love & Death.
He’s an excellent actor. He was HEARTBREAKING in Ozark!!! He played that character like an idiot savant of moral clarity, and what happened to him was the most shocking sign that there was no going back, they really did break bad
They look so happy together. You love to see it.
Yea, been a fan of Pelphery since Banshee and he was awesome in Ozark and phenomenal in Love and Death. If she can get him more work I’ll certainly be watching. Wishing them all the best in their relationship too, nothing wrong with a relationship that goes the distance.
I really loved The Flight Attendant which she also produced. Looking forward to more of her projects.
That trailer looks great, definitely seems to have that flight attendant flair mixed with some only murders in the building.
Chris Messina is definitely one of My top 2 chrises which does sometimes change order between that same 3 Chrises.
But “husband” in the header title is why I came to post, click baity much lol
I’ve had a thing for Tom Pelphrey since he was in my grandmother’s favorite soap, Guiding Light.
He just turned in a phenomenal performance in Love and Death. I think he’s a fantastic actor who doesn’t really get the attention he deserves because he’s not a marvel type.
He, like Kaley, dated a costar in the past so they both should be prepared to work together.
Did they actually get married?
I’m sorry but haven’t you seen Ozark??? Tom is an incredible actor!!
I had a high school friend who became a successful actor. They would definitely offer his then unknown wife parts in his pictures, as an enticement, especially indies. They’ve split, but she is now successful in her own right, some would say more than he is.
The title says “Husband?” I thought they (quite famously, post- her last divorce) weren’t married?
