Kaley Cuoco met Tom Pelphrey on April 21, 2022, at the “Ozark” premiere. She was already expecting to be introduced to the actor because their mutual manager, Andrea Pett-Joseph, believed that was something that needed to happen. What Cuoco wasn’t expecting, though, was to fall for him instantly. “I was standing with Andrea and Tom walked in, and I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting,” she told USA Today a month later. “It hit me. It was love at first sight.”
Cuoco and Pelphrey’s relationship moved pretty fast after that day. Less than two weeks later, Pelphrey and Cuoco made their relationship public on social media. Pelphrey put his feelings on display. “You catch a breeze, so warm and ripe, it makes you hope that someone will come who also cannot save you, but who will think you are worth saving,” he captioned a May 3 Instagram post featuring Polaroid photos of the two. Cuoco, on the other hand, took a more subtle approach.

Cuoco, in a since-deleted Instagram post, uploaded snaps featuring her “life lately” that included the same Polaroids toward the end of her carousel. But Cuoco soon started making grand displays of affection for Pelphrey throughout the following months. “To the incredible man that saved me in all the ways,” she captioned a July 28 Instagram post in honor of Pelphrey’s birthday.
