Celebrities and friends flooded the comments of Kaley’s post wishing the new family all the love and congratulations including stars like Chelsea Handler, Hilary Duff, Josh Gad, and Zoey Deschanel.
The beautiful baby girl name Matilda is quite the popular girls name especially here in Australia with it appearing at number nine on Australia’s top boy baby names for 2022 as well as number five on our very own list of Mum’s Grapevine’s Top Baby Names for 2022.
Of German origin, Matilda is a name fit for a warrior with the meaning ‘mighty in battle’. Her middle names are equally as beautiful as Carmine, which is a gender-neutral name of Latin origin, means ‘song’ and Richie, also of German origins, means ‘old or powerful leader’.
Throughout her pregnancy, Kaley has given us glimpses into her journey with very sweet and funny photos over the last few months.
For Christmas, the Big Bang Theory actress posted a great trio of photographs professionally taken of the couple that are sure to make the mantle piece of memories. Standing on a dirt path with Dad showing his love for Mum and the bump, the couple are absolutely glowing.

Being two of the biggest television stars in Hollywood, it was only expected that we would see the pair at the Golden Globe Awards back in January of this year. Looking stunning in a lilac, empire waist, flowy gown by Vera Wang, Kaley captioned the photo of herself and Tom on the grey carpet giving thanks to her team.
“💜the 3 of us making our @goldenglobes red carpet debut together!💜pure joy all around🥹 unbelievable team once again!”

“Just waitin on their human sister to arrive 💝💓 ( 📷 @claudcraig ) @tommypelphrey 💋”

The 36-year-old Flight Attendant star has been posting to her Instagram story all morning, showing more behind-the-scenes into what being pregnant while filming has been like, especially dealing with the early pregnancy symptoms which for Kaley included dealing with morning sickness.
She also shared a couple of snaps of herself and Tommy including one of her wearing a very cute pair of Ergobaby pregnancy overalls as well as a photo from before the 2022 Emmys that were just last September when they were still hiding that they were expecting.
The Hollywood couple who have the same manager, met earlier this year when said manager set them up. They made their relationship “official” just a couple of months later when Tommy took to Instagram to post polaroids taken of the couple accompanied with a heartfelt caption.
“But nothing can save you. Not your friends, not the best Fred Astaire musical you’ve ever seen- the grace of it, not your mother’s beauty, not a line from a letter you find at the bottom of a drawer, not a magazine or the next day. Nothing can save you. And you stand in the moonlight and a sweetness comes off the top of the trees, and the fence around the yard seals you off from the dark and you can’t breathe. It is all so familiar and possible. It is too simple that there is this much good in the world and you don’t know how to have it. And it makes you wonder when it was you lost your place. Then 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.” – from Noah’s wall- 1/31/04”
