The Big Bang Theory turned an unlikely family of comic book nerds and a struggling actress into an internationally beloved sitcom. With each new character, their universe expanded, and so too did their on-screen families. In real life, many of the cast have welcomed new arrivals with their partners, ushering in heirs to the scientific sitcom. 

Read on to find out which cast members found love and forged a family of their own...

Kaley Cuoco starred as the typical girl-next-door who grows into the Penny Hofstadter we know and love today. While Penny famously did an about turn on her decision to remain child-free in the show's final season, Kaley had a clearer path to motherhood off screen. 

Kaley welcomed daughter Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey in 2023 with fiancé Tom Pelphrey. Now, they're adding another member to the family, with a second baby girl arriving soon.
