Kaley Cuoco’s Sweet Father’s Day Tribute to Her Two Dads

Family Focus

Kaley Cuoco kicked off Father’s Day weekend with an outpouring of love for the two most important men in her life. On June 16, the actress posted a series of sun-lit family snaps on Instagram, captioning them, “🩵 Happy Father’s Day to my 2 favorite guys! 💋 @tommypelphrey you are Matilda’s favorite human on earth… And to my dad! The best there is! We couldn’t love you more, and Tildy loves her Bampa!!! 🩵 I feel so lucky to have you both!” The gallery shows Kaley, her toddler daughter Matilda, husband Tom Pelphrey and Kaley’s father laughing together in a cozy backyard setting.

Partner Spotlight

Tom Pelphrey, best known for roles in Netflix’s Ozark and Marvel’s Iron Fist, has quickly become a doting dad to baby Matilda, born March 30, 2023. In the post, Kaley calls him “Matilda’s favorite human on earth” and praises how “being a dad is in your eyes and soul.” The couple, who married in September 2023 at a private ranch in Southern California, have shared snippets of family life on social media throughout the past year—from Matilda’s first smile to Tom’s playful bedtime stories.

Honoring ‘bampa’

Kaley also celebrated her own father, realtor Gary Carmine Cuoco, who she lovingly refers to as “Bampa.” In a sweet tribute, she thanks him for being “the best there is,” noting how much Matilda adores him. Kaley has often spoken about the close bond she shares with her parents—her dad has been a steadfast supporter since her breakout sitcom days on 8 Simple Rules and The Big Bang Theory.

Career Snapshot

Cuoco rose to stardom as Penny on CBS’s The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019) and has since headlined the HBO Max series The Flight Attendant. Off-screen, she launched the pet brand Yes Fur Baby in 2022, spotlighting her love for animals. Earlier this spring, she even revealed on Instagram that her dream Disney vacation wouldn’t include sitting in the front row on a plane—a playful nod to her smart approach to travel comfort.

Kaley’s Father’s Day post serves as a reminder that, beyond the red carpets and camera crews, family remains her greatest source of joy and inspiration. As Matilda grows, it’s clear she’s already surrounded by two very devoted father figures who couldn’t be prouder to call her their little girl.
