Tom Pelphrey’s Background
Born on July 28, 1982, in Howell Township, a township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, Thomas J. Pelphrey celebrated his 40th birthday on July 28, 2022. He’s over three years older than Kaley Christine Cuoco, who will turn 37 on November 30, 2022.
Tom Pelphrey’s height is believed to be around 6ft 1 ¼ (186.1 cm), though he’s claimed to be taller.

“I’m 6-foot-2. My brother is about 6-foot-5, and he’s my younger brother. My Dad’s 6-foot-4 and my mom’s 5-foot-11, so there’s definitely some height in the lineage,” he told TV Guide in an interview.
Kaley Cuoco is believed to be around 5ft 5 ¾ (167 cm), making her significantly shorter than Tom Pelphrey. In 2007, Cuoco told The Washington Post that her height is 5′ 6″ (168 cm).
A Hollywood Meeting
The happy couple met at the premiere of Ozark in April, where they shared a “love at first sight” moment. The couple shares a manager, who set them up at the Ozark premiere.
“We have the same manager, and we were set up by [her] which is so Hollywood,” Kaley told USA Today.

“She’s like, ‘Oh my god, I think you guys are perfect for each other.’ We met at the Ozark premiere, and 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. It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected. 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.”
Instagram Official
The loved-up pair made their relationship official on Instagram in early May with heartfelt posts on their pages. Later that month, they first appeared as a couple at an event. Pelphrey and Cuoco sat hand-in-hand as The Flight Attendant executive producer Greg Berlanti received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The news of their relationship came months after Cuoco finalized her divorce from Karl Cook in September 2021. Cook and Cuoco were married for three years.

Cuoco was nominated for lead actress in a comedy series for her leading role as Cassandra Bowden in The Flight Attendant. Pelphrey was nominated for an outstanding guest star in a drama series for his role as Ben Davis in Ozark.
Cuoco’s Views on Parenthood
In October 2018, Cuoco told Entertainment Tonight that she was “not there yet” regarding having kids.

During an interview with Cosmopolitan in April 2016, the actress confessed, “She thought [she’d] have a baby by now.”
The actress continued, “You see your life going one way, and then it’s the direct opposite way. I’m waking up going, ‘Oh my God, my life just flipped upside down.’”
