Reserving some words for her fiancé Tom, she added: "@tommypelphrey life exploded the minute we met, and the gifts keep coming. I love you forever, girl daddy!"

Tom took to Instagram with some more photos and wrote beside them: "Philomena Carmine Bobby Pelphrey. Another miracle. Welcome to our family youngest queen!"

"Kaley you showed up in every way as a partner and a mom even when you weren't feeling your best- you’re a CHAMPION. The girls and I would be lost without you. Thank God for the gift of this family and these girls."

The pair were inundated with congratulatory messages, with Kaley's The Big Bang Theory co-star Kunal Nayyar commenting: "LOVE YOU SIS," Ashley Benson adding: "Ohhhh she's just a doll congrats you guys," and even Taylor Lautner saying: "Congrats!!!!!!" shortly after welcoming his own first child with his wife Tay.

Tom on how they're prepping for baby #2

The couple's last public appearance before becoming parents again was at the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards this September, where Tom took home his very first Primetime Emmy, shouting out his pregnant fiancée in the crowd as she teared up.

He spoke with E! News after the big moment and shared an update on how they were preparing for baby #2. "We're both so excited," he said. "Our daughter's excited."

"We'll see how it goes when the baby actually gets there, but switching rooms, swapping things around and laughing at how different it is from one to two," the Ozark star continued, explaining that there are some "things that feel like not a big deal this time" compared to their first child.

Tom said that his biggest hope was that "mom and baby are healthy," and mentioned that he and Kaley already had a name picked out for their second baby, although quipped that it won't be "Emmy" after the big win.

"That was not the plan," he continued. "We have one. We always leave open the possibility that she'll sort of declare herself. So we'll see."
