Actors Tom Pelphrey and Kaley Cuoco are sharing the love.
The couple made their new relationship Instagram-official with photos and videos from a recent trip together.
Pelphrey, 39, who grew up in Howell and plays Ben Davis in the Netflix series “Ozark,” shared Polaroids of the smiling couple.
The Emmy-winning Jersey actor got his start as a performer at the Fine and Performing Arts Center at Howell High School and studied acting at Rutgers’ Mason Gross School of the Arts.
Cuoco, 36, the Emmy-nominated star of HBO Max’s “The Flight Attendant,” shared identical photos on Instagram, along with another in which Pelphrey plants a kiss on her cheek in front of a picturesque mountain horizon.
Pelphrey, who won two Daytime Emmys for outstanding younger actor for playing Jonathan Randall on the soap opera “Guiding Light,” currently appears in the Amazon series “Outer Range” as Perry Abbott.
Pelphrey’s other roles include Joseph Mankiewicz, brother of Herman Mankiewicz in the Oscar-winning Netflix film “Mank,” Kurt Bunker in the Cinemax show “Banshee” and Ward Meachum in the Marvel Netflix series “Iron Fist.” On Broadway, he appeared in “Fool for Love” and “End of the Rainbow.” His upcoming roles include the HBO Max true-crime series “Love and Death” about the 1980 murder of Betty Gore in Texas and investigation of housewife Candy Montgomery.
Pelphrey will also star as Jason Derek Brown, a man wanted by the FBI for murder and armed robbery (in 2004, Brown allegedly shot and killed an armored car guard and fled with the money), in the true-crime film “American Murderer.”
Cuoco, who stars as Cassie Bowden in “The Flight Attendant,” previously played Penny for all 12 seasons of “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS.
She was previously married to equestrian Karl Cook (they separated in 2021) and former professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting (they divorced in 2016). Pelphrey was previously in a relationship with actor Jaimie Alexander (”Thor: Love and Thunder”).
“Life lately,” Cuoco said in her Instagram post with the pictures of Pelphrey, furnishing her sentiment with emojis including a heart, evergreen tree, dog paw print and shooting star. She shared a quote: “the sun breaks through the clouds, rays of gold slipping into my eyes and heart, rays of yellow to break the grey.”
Cuoco shared another photo showing her getting close with Pelphrey in her Instagram stories, tagging the actor in her post.
“This man,” she captioned the image.
Pelphrey also went with a quote for his Cuoco-centric post:
“‘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.’”
