Kaley Cuoco and tennis professional Ryan Sweeting only dated for three months before rushing to get married. After being married for 21 months, in September 2015, the couple revealed that they were divorcing.

Cuoco admitted to the publication, "I honestly thought I wouldn't get married again. My ex ruined that word for me." The actress further explained what had gone wrong in their union, saying:
"I married someone [for] the first time who completely changed."

The star said the person she ended up with wasn't the one she initially met and that it wasn't her fault but his. Then Cuoco moved on to a relationship with Karl Cook, whom she married in June 2018.
However, after about four years of marriage, in September 2021, the actress filed for divorce from her second husband. In a joint statement, the former couple said they still had a "deep love and respect for one another" but had realized they were going in opposite directions.

The duo shared that the dissolution of their marriage didn't include hatred or anger but was quite the opposite. By June 2022, the "Flight Attendant" star's divorce from the equestrian was finalized.
Speaking to Glamour in April 2022, Cuoco vowed, "I will never get married again." She explained, "I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership" in the future but would never marry again, adding:
"Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover."

While marriage wasn't on the cards for Cuoco, the actress appeared to have finally found true love with a fellow actor. The couple's relationship was so serious that they were now expecting a child together!
Kaley Fell in Love at First Sight with Her Partner
In May 2022, Cuoco posted Instagram images of her and Tom Pelphrey looking in love and announcing that they were dating. Not long after that, they became red-carpet official when they debuted as a couple at that year's Emmy Awards.

The actress and the "Ozark" star gave attendees public displays of affection. The pair initially met at the April 2022 season 4 premiere of Pelphrey's Netflix show, and Cuoco later told Extra that when she met him, it "was absolutely love at first sight," adding:
"It was like the angels started singing. I was like, 'Hallelujah.' It was very magical. … It was perfect."
The actress revealed that if she and Pelphrey had met earlier, she might not have been in the right mindset to commit fully to the relationship. She confessed that the previous year was rough, and when she met the actor the following year, she had to introspect on her life.
Cuoco said she took time to look within herself and realized she had things to figure out. She had some self-reflection and went to therapy before meeting her boyfriend at the right moment.
Speaking to USA Today, the actress revealed that Andrea Pett-Joseph, who managed both her and Pelphrey, set them up. Pett-Joseph told Cuoco that she thought she and Pelphrey would be perfect for each other, with the actress recalling the meeting as such:
"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."
The star recalled, "We were immediately connected. I do feel like I've known him my whole life, but I wasn't ready for him." She also noted how she and her boyfriend were "ready to build a life together."
The first photo he [Tom Pelphrey] shared was of him and his girlfriend [Kaley Cuoco] kissing while holding mugs that were written "papa bear" and "mama bear."
Since the couple hooked up, they've regularly shared their love on social media. The duo has enjoyed dates, and on June 28, 2022, Pelphrey uploaded a picture of him and Cuoco smiling as they looked into each other's eyes as called her his "favorite person."
Although in October 2022, the two actors had only been in a relationship for a few months, they revealed things between them had progressed quickly. The couple shared an exciting development in the relationship!

On October 11, 2022, Cuoco took to her Instagram account to share the exciting news that she and her boyfriend were expecting! In her post, she revealed they were expecting a baby girl in 2023 and said they were over the moon and blessed before declaring her love to Pelphrey!
Her post also included several images. Some pictures showed the happy couple smiling as they posed with a white cake slice with a pink middle, giving the idea that they might've had a gender reveal party.
Another photo showed the "Banshee" star holding up a white baby onesie written, "I love my Daddy." The other images were of the two holding several pregnancy tests, a picture of Cuoco's growing baby bump, and more.
The "Meet Cute" star's boyfriend also shared a similar post where he noted how their relationship had improved before stating that he loved Cuoco "more than ever." The first photo he shared was of him and his girlfriend kissing while holding mugs written "papa bear" and "mama bear."
He also had images of the cake and a beach photo where he was seen wearing a black cap written "Kaley's." The baby girl would be the first child for both actors, and it seems the actress had finally found the perfect partner who adored and loved her as she was.
