Pregnant actress Kaley Cuoco became visibly emotional during her fiancé Tom Pelphrey's acceptance speech at the 2026 Emmy Awards on Monday. Pelphrey, 44, won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in "Task." As he delivered his heartfelt tribute, Cuoco, 40, was seen wiping away tears.
Pelphrey expressed gratitude for his life and sobriety, thanking his family and friends for their unwavering support. He then turned his attention to Cuoco, calling her his "favorite actor" and the "crown jewel" of his life. "Baby girl, daddy loves you," he added, referencing their unborn child and their three-year-old daughter, Matilda.
Cuoco, who is expecting their second child, showcased her baby bump in a pastel pink gown with cut-out detailing. Pelphrey, meanwhile, was sharply dressed in a suit and bow tie.
The couple announced their pregnancy earlier in the summer, sharing that their daughter Matilda would soon have a baby sister. Cuoco described the pregnancy journey as "windier" this time around but expressed deep gratitude for the moment.
Cuoco and Pelphrey have been together for four years, having met in April 2022. They announced their engagement in August 2024.
