The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco has paid a sweet tribute to her partner Tom Pelphrey (Ozark) in honour of his birthday.
Taking to Instagram today (July 28), the actress shared a photo of Pelphrey smiling alongside the caption: "To the incredible man that saved me in all the ways..happy birthday, baby! To know you, is to truly adore you … the world lit up the day you were born. I love you!!"
The couple confirmed their romance back in May when they shared photos holidaying in the countryside together on Instagram, including a sweet one of Cuoco kissing Pelphrey on the cheek.

Cuoco later posted another carousel of photos with her new beau, captioning it: "Heart on a sleeve," while Pelphrey commented: "Favourite person."
This new romance came after Cuoco and her ex-husband Karl Cook announced their split in a joint statement back in September, saying they had reached an amicable decision to part ways.
Their divorce was finalised after four years of marriage last month, having been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Up next for Cuoco is new high-concept thriller Role Play, which she'll be starring in alongside David Oyelowo as her onscreen husband and Bill Nighy, who has been cast to replace Billy Bob Thornton.
Directed by Reacher's Thomas Vincent, the film follows a young married couple (Cuoco and Oyelowo) who dig into each other's pasts. As suspicions grow, their marital bliss is upended by the mysterious Bob, played by Nighy.
The Flight Attendant actress also serves as a producer on the movie.
