The start of something wonderful. Tom Pelphrey gushed about experiencing first-time parenthood shortly after he and Kaley Cuoco welcomed their daughter, Matilda.
“It’s so beautiful. I was excited for it and you obviously have some idea of what it might be and how it cool it might be,” the Ozark alum, 40, told E! News on Tuesday, April 18. “Nothing compares to the actual feeling. It’s so wild.”
Pelphrey noted that the couple have been in awe of every moment with their newborn. “Even if she’s fussy or you haven’t slept as much. When holding Matilda and she makes those little noises and coos, your heart just melts,” he shared. “All I want to do is sit at home with Kaley and the baby and never leave the house. It’s a miracle. We’re so happy.”
According to the actor, the most surprising adjustment is how easily he has taken to fatherhood.
“The biggest surprise for me right off the bat was how comfortable I felt,” he added. “The only experience I’ve ever had with infants or newborns in the past [is that] my brother has two beautiful girls. I got to be around them and other family members. But I was always one of those guys [saying], like, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I want to hold the baby. I don’t want to break it. That seems too small.'”

The Outer Range star has since found his rhythm while looking after his own little one.
“I dove right in and I felt like I immediately understood how to hold her and how to support her little head,” he said. “I was changing all the diapers in the hospital. Kaley got a kick out of that. It was amazing in a surprising and beautiful and magical way how intuitively I felt like I understood how to take care of this baby and what she needed.”
