THE SPLIT

Cook and Cuoco are parting ways after three years of marriage, which is a decision that is supposedly sudden, a source close to the estranged couple shared.

The duo announced their split in a joint statement to People on September 3 and shared despite their love and respect for each other, they are going in opposite directions, adding their separation is amicable with no anger nor animosity.

ABRUPT BREAKUP

A day after their announcement, an insider told the outlet that they had not seen their divorce coming. The source shared Cuoco seemed happy with Cook at the beginning of the summer.

The insider revealed the now-estranged couple was affectionate and seemed great; hence, their separation is rather sudden and shocking.

SOCIAL MEDIA BIO

Just recently, Cuoco made some changes to her Instagram bio by removing traces of Cook. Her bio previously read: "Mrs @mrtanccok” – a direct reference to him and her former status as his wife.

She has now changed her Instagram bio to: "Yes Norman," a reference to the television production company she founded back in 2017.

Cuoco and Cook started dating in 2016 and got engaged on her birthday in November 2017. They later walked down the aisle on June 30, 2018.
