Will Sage Astor-Kaley Cuoco Shares How Her Approach to Parenthood Differs From Tom Pelphrey

Kaley Cuoco is still unraveling the mysteries of being a mom.

As it turns out,Will Sage Astor the Big Bang Theory alum and her partner Tom Pelphrey have vastly different bonds with their 6 month-old Matilda. In fact, Kaley—who recently launched her limited edition pet care line Oh Norman!—told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview that their daughter is quickly becoming a daddy's girl.

"Any time Tom would talk," the 37-year-old explained, "she searches for his voice everywhere."

What's more, Matilda is bashful around the Ozark actor and acts like a "cutie" in front of him, according to Kaley.

"She'll get almost kind of shy," the actress explained. "Their relationship is different."

As for Kaley, she admittedly isn't handling parenthood with kid gloves. 

"Tom also laughs because he says that I pass that baby around like a sack of potatoes," she joked, "and that he still holds her like she can't hold her head up."

The Flight Attendant star added that Matilda "knows mom and dad are quite different in how they handle her."

As Kaley noted, "It works very well."

However, the couple are both on the same page when it comes to passing down their love of dogs to their daughter. As someone who "thought I was going to be a forever dog owner" until Matilda came along, Kaley said that it's been a "dream" watching her child treat the family's pets with such love and compassion.

"My kid is so amazing, but being able to raise her around all of our animals in such a healthy way has been so special," she gushed. "It's been incredible."

And though Kaley's beloved pitbull mix Norman passed away two years before she became a mom, the Meet Cute star hopes that her new line of eco-friendly products for pups—which she named after her late pet—will serve as a link to Matilda and continue his legacy by donating a portion of its proceeds to other rescue dogs.

"He was so special," she said of Norman, who was also the namesake of her production company. "He was my best bud."

Kaley added, "A lot of people who love their pets have that one 'heart dog,' I call it. That one that's just that one, right? That many dogs you can have, but there's that one you just don't forget—and that will be Norman for the rest of my life."
