Kaley Cuoco’s daughter is a mummy’s girl!

On April 16, the actress, 38, who shares Matilda, 1, with her partner Tom Pelphrey, posted an adorable photo on her Instagram Stories of her baby girl clutching onto her leg.

In the snap, Cuoco affectionately placed her hand on Matilda’s head while her daughter donned a straight face. 

The Flight Attendant star, who wore a Nike cap, also looked down at her daughter in the shoot as they stood in a colorful room featuring projection of space on the floor.

“She needs me sometimes,” Cuoco wrote across the photo in capital letters, before adding a holding back tears emoji.

Cuoco’s recent snap comes after she revealed her daughter’s discovery of a mirror.

“She found the mirror,” Cuoco wrote across a picture of her daughter, who was dressed in a yellow and purple floral playsuit, grinning as she held onto two sides of a mirror. 

The mother of one then posted a slightly zoomed-out photo of Matilda turning back to look at her mom.

“She’s definitely our kid lol,” Cuoco wrote over the snap.

Best year of our lives,” as the song “Growin’ Up Raising You” by Gabby Barrett played over the top. “You are a gift from above and have brought the deepest perfect joy to our entire family!”

“Dada and I love you more than we could possibly ever explain,” the proud mom continued. “I cannot wait to see who you become, but for now, please stay my precious 1-year-old forever. 🩷🩷.”

“@tommypelphrey thank you for being the best daddy (besides my own) the world has ever seen,” she added.
