Kaley Cuoco celebrated her boyfriend Tom Pelphrey’s birthday by penning him a short yet heartfelt message on social media.

The “Flight Attendant” star, 36, took to Instagram Thursday to share an outdoor photo of the “Ozark” actor flashing a big smile while wearing large sunglasses and a bandana on his head. She then poured her heart out in 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,” Cuoco wrote.

The “Big Bang Theory” alum continued to shower her beau with love by sharing sweet photos on her Instagram Stories. The slides she uploaded included snaps from their hikes, travels and just the simple moments they shared at home, according to People.

“You deserve it all… Happy birthday honey!!! So many beautiful adventures to come,” Cuoco captioned one of her Story slides.

Pelphrey also took the time to upload a childhood photo on his Instagram. In the picture, a very young Tom could be seen smiling while wearing large shades, a sparkly hat, a matching red shirt and shorts combo and a pair of oversized shoes.

“4-0 today. Some things have changed… Some haven’t. Deeply, deeply grateful for all of it. Thanks for the love today,” he captioned the photo.

Cuoco and Pelphrey confirmed their romance in May by sharing tandem posts on Instagram. The actress shared a series of photos featuring Pelphrey and wrote, “Heart on a sleeve.” On the other hand, the actor posted two polaroid snaps of him and Cuoco smiling side by side.

After confirming their relationship, the pair made their first public appearance together at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for producer Greg Berlanti later that month.

Before Pelphrey, Cuoco was married to equestrian Karl Cook. They tied the knot in June 2018 but filed for divorce in September 2021.

The actress exclusively told Glamour in April that she does not see herself walking the aisle again after her failed marriage.

“I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership. But I will never get married again. Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover,” she said.
