Throughout her two decade-long acting career, Kaley Cuoco has celebrated many achievements. While receiving another recognition for her work, she was overcome with emotion and had the opportunity to share the moment with someone very special in her life.

On July 12, The Big Bang Theory star posted an Instagram video of herself watching the 2022 Primetime Emmy nominations with her boyfriend, Ozark actor Tom Pelphrey. As she heard her name called in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category for her HBO Max drama series The Flight Attendant, Kaley burst into tears and embraced her partner.

"Okay," she said in the clip. "Oh my god!" But it was Tom's excited reaction that truly made the moment all the more sweeter. "Yes! Baby! Aw!" he said. (Swipe to the third slide below.)

After Kaley fully took in the incredible moment, she posted the snippet on Instagram and shared her appreciation for everyone who helped her get to this point.

"There are no words … thank you @televisionacad for this honor that I do not take lightly," she captioned it. "Thank you to my entire flight crew @flightattendantonmax for the flight of a lifetime ✈️ and to share this moment with my ♥️ @tommypelphrey with his own deserved nomination… what a moment and we are so grateful ❤️🔥💥 (swipe left for sweetness :)."

We love to see such success for the couple, who have been together since early May when she made their relationship Instagram official. Speaking of success, Kaley wasn't the only one receiving accolades. Tom also received an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series category for his work in Ozark. And while he was super excited over his own news, he took the time to share his own thoughts on his love's big honor.

"ALSO… CONGRATULATIONS TO MY FAVORITE ACTRESS!!!" he captioned his own post for Kaley. "Such beautiful, brave work. Beyond grateful to share this with you today… ♥️🙏♥️ @televisionacad #emmyawards @kaleycuoco."

For Kaley, this is a particularly sweet occasion, as this Emmy nod marks her third overall. She previously received two nods in 2021 for her work in The Flight Attendant for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series.

Perhaps, her emotional reaction might be a sign that season 3 has gotten the green light? Only time will tell. Until then, we're going to celebrate with her and Tom, while watching previous seasons of The Flight Attendant and Ozark.
