    Kaley Cuoco was "really scared" to leave her daughter for work

    The Big Bang Theory star - who has two-year-old daughter Matilda with her fiancé Tom Pelphrey - was away from home for two months last year as she filmed new mystery thriller series Vanished, and she has praised her partner for making it easier.


    She told Extra: "I have to say I was really scared. Like, I had a two year old and I was like, 'Should I be, like, leaving for two months?'...

    "I just didn't know if that was the right decision... My fiancé was just like, 'You've got to go. I think this is going to be amazing for you.'

    "So, he really encouraged me to go, and he took care of everything and we kind of swapped places for a minute and I couldn't have done it without him."

    Kaley added that she has "much gratitude" for the way he "relieved her of the worry", while she also wanted to encourage her daughter to "follow your dreams".

    She explained: "I also want to show my child, like, that I love to work and you got to, you know, go do your thing and follow your dreams and still come home and have your home base.

    "But I think it's important to show her that.

    "So also, she didn't give a s*** that I was gone, let me to tell you."

    Kaley was also supported by her "amazing friends" and the way they handle their own parenthood journey.

    She added: "I have some amazing friends who have kids who I've become friends with and we have an amazing mom group and they're all lovely and I've learned so much from my friends and their kids.

    "I will not ever judge another parent for what they do with their kid. Only you know your kid. Only I know my kid."
