Kaley Cuoco and "Ozark" actor Tom Pelphrey are walking into April as a party of three, announcing the birth of their baby girl.

The "Flight Attendant" star, 37, shared a series photos of their newborn baby on Instagram Saturday with photos of the new addition wrapped in a hospital blanket with a large bow and sleeping eyes, giving a yawn for the camera and being held by the new mom and dad.

"Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle," Cuoco wrote on the Instagram post. "Thank you to the doctors, nurses , family and friends who have helped us immensely over the last few days."

Cuoco and Pelphrey made their red carpet debut as a couple in 2022 at the Emmy Awards. In May she told USA TODAY she and Pelphrey met through their manager, a situation she described as "so Hollywood."

"I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting. It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected," she said. "I do feel like I've known him my whole life, but I wasn't ready for him. We're ready to build a life together."

Cuoco continued to swoon over her partner in the April birth announcement writing, "@tommypelphrey didn’t think I could fall even more in love with you, but I did."

In October, Cuoco announced on Instagram that she would be expecting her first child, a daughter.

"Baby girl Pelphrey coming 2023," Cuoco wrote at the time. "beyond blessed and over the moon… I (love) you @tommypelphrey !!!"

Along with the caption, Cuoco shared a series of photos of her and the "Ozark" actor with a cake with a layer of pink frosting on the inside. In another photo, Pelphrey holds up a baby onesie bearing the words "love my daddy," and, in another, Cuoco smiles with him while holding up several pregnancy tests.

Tom Pelphrey and Kaley Cuoco first met at the Ozark premiere after their manager paired them up together.

Before dating Pelphrey, Cuoco was married to equestrian Karl Cook from 2018 to 2021 and tennis player Ryan Sweeting from 2013 to 2016.

"I will never get married again. I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership. But I will never get married again. Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover," she bluntly told Glamour in April. "But I believe in love because I’ve had incredible relationships."

Cuoco added, "I do believe there is someone out there. I love love. I’m not someone that wants to be by myself. I just need to figure out my priorities a little bit and make sure now I know that I need to water that relationship."
