Kaley Cuoco is getting her daughter started young when it comes to appreciating the Big Bang Theory.

The actress, who played Penny on the sitcom for 12 seasons, welcomed baby Matilda with boyfriend Tom Pelphrey last March.

Ever since then, the 38-year-old has given fans an adorable glimpse into her life with the Ozark actor, 41, and their little one on social media.

During an appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show, she was questioned about motherhood and explained that the nine-month-old is already a massive music fan.

To test this further, Kaley popped her in front of an episode of the Big Bang Theory to see how she reacted to the theme tune by Barenaked Ladies.

‘I turned it on one day and she sat there, loved it,’ she told the host, revealing that the tot ‘bops to everything’.

While Matilda hasn’t quite got to grips with Penny’s will-they-won’t-they relationship with Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), the Flight Attendant star couldn’t rave enough about the little one, describing her as a ‘genius’.

‘She’s so precious. She is so beyond, she just started saying, “Uh oh” and it’s the funniest thing,’ she continued.

‘I’m convinced that she says it at the correct time, like something will drop and she’ll hear something on TV and goes, “uh oh”.

‘She says “uh oh” because she knows what it means.’

When asked if Matilda got her intelligence from her, Kaley laughed: ‘Yes, the genius, of course!

‘The “uh oh” and the genius, and the big eyes. Tom always says she’s got my crazy eyes. She’s got big eyes.’

Tom previously made headlines when he opened up about his relationship with Kaley – and confessed that he hadn’t seen any of her work before they started dating.

Yes, seriously.

The pair started dating in 2022 and quickly became inseparable, leading to an awkward moment when he took her home to meet his family.

Unpacking their romance in a chat with W Magazine, he recalled: ‘When I first brought Kaley to New Jersey to meet my family and friends, my mom’s partner – who apparently was a Big Bang Theory fan – was there, and he kept calling her Penny. I had no clue what was going on.

‘I was completely unaware. I’ve watched a few episodes with her since, and, obviously, she’s fantastic.

‘Look, I live in a cave. Before I met Kaley, I was living in upstate New York, on a dirt road, in the middle of the woods, without much Wi-Fi. She’s brought me into modern times.’

Matilda might catch up on that finale before Tom…
