Tom Pelphrey gave a heartfelt shout-out to his “very pregnant” fiancée Kaley Cuoco after winning at the 2026 Emmys.
On Monday 14, the Ozark star accepted the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in HBO’s Task.
While receiving the award she shouted out “my favorite actor in this room — my love, my best friend, my partner ... the very pregnant Kaley Cuoco.”
“I love you more than anything, and our family is the crown jewel of my life,” Pelphrey told Cuoco, who was shown crying in the audience.
During her winning speech Pelphrey made a sweet nod to their daughter Matilda, 3, and their second daughter on the way.
“Matilda, Daddy loves you. Baby girl in that belly, Daddy loves you. Thank you, God bless,” he said.
He also celebrated his Task castmates, offering a special mention to “my friend, the beautiful Mark Ruffalo.”
“I thank God for my life and my sobriety,” he continued. “I thank my family, my friends for all your love and support all these years, from Emmys to black box theaters and everything in between.”
Pelphrey and Cuoco, 40, got engaged in 2024 and announced in June that they are expecting their second child.
In an Instagram post, the actress described the news as 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 wrote.
“Little sissy on the way!!! @tommypelphrey girl dad for life and yes, the last pic is our dainty princess giving us the middle finger!”
