Kaley Cuoco vowed to never get married again
Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey's relationship came after the former survived two failed marriages and several romances.
The 36-year-old first tied the knot on 2013's New Year's Eve with former professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting, after dating for several months. However, their romance was short lived and Cuoco filed for divorce 21 months later.
In an interview with Cosmopoliton in 2018, the Big Bang Theory star revealed that she had a sour experience with Sweeting, stating:
“I honestly thought I wouldn’t get married again. My ex ruined that word for me. I married someone the first time who completely changed. The person I ended up with was not the person I originally met. And that wasn’t my fault—that was his."
Soon after her split from Sweeting, Cuoco began dating Karl Cook and the duo bonded over their mutual love for horses, dogs and equestrian competitions. Two months into dating, Cook got down on one knee and proposed to her on November 30, 2017, amidst the actress' friends, on her 32nd birthday.
While talking to Us Weekly in September 2017, Kaley gushed about her then-partner, saying:
“I couldn’t be happier. I feel very, very lucky that I found someone like him.”
The duo had then tied the knot on June 30, 2018, at a ranch outside San Diego, California. However, Cuoco and Cook's marriage was not conventional, as they did not live together till 2019.
While talking to E! News, the actress had revealed:
“We are building our dream house. We are eventually going to be under the same roof forever. We have a very unconventional marriage, you know, we have different locations that we are at a lot. We are not together every single day, and I think personally, it’s important. It works well for us.”
However, Cuoco filed for divorce in September 2021, after three years of marriage, announcing her separation and stating, "there is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary.”
While speaking to Glamour Magazine in April 2022 for their cover issue, Kaley Cuoco confessed that she would never get married again, disclosing:
"I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership. But I will never get married again. Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover.”
Since the beginning of her career, Kaley Cuoco has been linked to several A-listers, from Kevin Zegers to Henry Cavill, and even to her Big Bang Theory co-star Johnny Galecki.
Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey met each other at the premiere of Ozark. They were reportedly set up by their manager. Describing her first encounter with him to USA Today, Cuoco said:
"I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting. It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected. I do feel like I've known him my whole life, but I wasn't ready for him. We're ready to build a life together."
As of now, it is yet to be seen if Kaley Cuoco's pregnancy has changed her stance on marriage.
