Kaley Cuoco paid tribute to her late 8 Simple Rules co-star John Ritter at a charity event alongside his wife Amy Yasbeck and her fellow co-star Amy Davidson on Thursday, May 4. The Flight Attendant star, 37, attended the John Ritter Foundation For Aortic Health 20th anniversary celebration, where she honored the late actor who died in 2003 from aortic dissection.
Kaley stunned in a plunging, blush blazer dress. The new mom also accessorized with a few necklaces, and she completed her look with a silver pair of high heels. The Big Bang Theory star stood right beside John’s wife Amy Yasbeck, 60, who sported a deep purple cutout dress with blue designs all over it. She stood between Kaley and fellow 8 Simple Rules actress Amy Davidson who looked gorgeous in a green dress. The women were also joined by True Blood star Ashley Jones, who rocked a black, off-shoulder dress for the occasion.
The actress was also joined by her boyfriend Tom Pelphrey, 40. The pair welcomed their first child Matilda together at the end of March. The new parents posed for a photo together, with Tom rocking an all-black look with a t-shirt, jeans, and jacket.
Kaley starred with John on 8 Simple Rules in 2002 and 2003. Shortly after the second season began, John died at age 54. After his passing, his character’s death was incorporated into the show, and the show had one more season. John’s widow also shared a photo from the event on her Instagram with the caption, “Oh what a night.”
Shortly after Kaley gave birth, she shared a few sweet photos of her and the Ozark star’s baby girl on her Instagram. After giving birth, the actress penned an emotional caption welcoming her daughter to the world. “Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle,” she wrote with lots of heart emojis. “Thank you to the doctors , nurses , family and friends who have helped us immensely over the last few days. We are blessed beyond belief. Tom Pelphrey, didn’t think I could fall even more in love with you , but I did.”
