Kaley Cuoco showed off her growing baby bump as she posed up on the Emmys 2026 red carpet on Monday – weeks before the birth of her second child.
The former Big Bang Theory star, 40, who is expecting a second daughter with fiance Tom Pelphrey, 44, showed off her blossoming bump in a cut-out pastel pink gown with cut-outs across the waist.
Cuoco and Pelphrey are already parents to a daughter Matilda, three.
Pelphrey, who Cuoco has been in a relationship with since 2022, looked dapper in a suit and bow tie, shortly before winning his first Emmy for best supporting actor for Task.
In an emotional speech, Pelphey said, ‘Wow. This is incredible. Thank you. I thank god for my life and my sobriety. I thank my family and my friends for all your love and support all these years from Emmys to, you know, black box theaters and everything in between.
‘And to my favorite actor in this room, my love, my best friend, my partner, the very pregnant Kaley – I love you more than anything, and our family is the crown jewel of my life. Matilda, daddy loves you. Baby girl, daddy loves you. Thank you. God bless.’
Earlier this summer, Cuoco enlisted her fiancé and their toddler to help with her pregnancy announcement.
The trio posed for a family portrait with a gender reveal cake.

The entertainer shared photos alongside baby bump mirror selfies on Instagram, revealing that Matilda will soon be joined by a little sister.
She wrote in the caption: ‘Completing our little family, what a dream come true!
‘This second time around journey has been a little windier in many ways, but wow we are so grateful for this moment!!’
She continued: ‘Little sissy on the way!!! @tommypelphrey girl dad for life and yes, the last pic is our dainty princess giving us the middle finger!’
The expecting parents have been in a relationship for four years and met in April 2022 after their mutual talent manager played matchmaker.
Pelphrey proposed to Cuoco, and they announced their engagement in August 2024.
In November 2024, Cuoco spoke to E! News about being the best parent she can be.
Addressing mom-shaming critics, she said, ‘Every mom I can guarantee is doing the best they can,’ she told the outlet.
She added: ‘Look, everyone’s got something to say about everything. There’s no change before I had kids, to having kids, to where I am in my life.’
And the Hollywood vet noted, ‘It’s just this business, it’s this life. It is what it is. But yeah, we got to stop at the shaming.’
