Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey showcased their affection for one another on the red carpet at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, which took place on January 4 at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica. The couple, who are parents to their 2-year-old daughter Matilda, made quite an impression with their stylish appearances. Cuoco opted for a striking menswear-inspired ensemble, featuring a black bra top layered under a tuxedo jacket paired with slouchy trousers. She accessorized with elegant Pomellato jewelry, perfectly complementing her bold look.
Pelphrey complemented his fiancée’s outfit by donning a black turtleneck paired with a classic Saint Laurent tuxedo, further enhancing their fashionable presence on the red carpet.
The evening held significance beyond just a date night, as Pelphrey was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in “Task.” He was up against notable contenders such as Patrick Ball from “The Pitt,” Ato Essandoh from “The Diplomat,” Billy Crudup from “The Morning Show,” Wood Harris from “Forever,” and Tramell Tillman from “Severance.”
In a heartfelt moment during an interview with Justin Sylvester on “Live From E!,” Pelphrey reflected on how fatherhood has influenced his career choices. He humorously shared, “Dad life has changed everything—my daughter owns my life,” adding that his priorities now revolve around balancing his acting career with his responsibilities as a father. “Roles, just trying to be smart between me and Kaley,” he remarked, emphasizing that parenting remains his top priority.
Cuoco and Pelphrey’s undeniable connection and commitment to family, alongside their impressive careers, signal a bright future for the couple both personally and professionally.
