15 Ditched Her Husband

Kaley is very active. She grew upward playing sports alongside the artsy interim stuff and has the toned body to evidence it. She loves playing tennis and was even ranked in the high school excursion. So, she naturally concluded up marrying a lawn tennis pro, Ryan Sweeting. The bad news is they were only married for 21 months. And the reason they divorced wasn't then overnice either. Allegedly, Ryan suffered from an habit to painkillers, after sustaining a back injury. Still, instead of helping him through it, Kaley merely went out and drank with her friends, reportedly consuming more two bottles of wine per night all past herself. Then, when she decided to ditch her hubby for good, she erased every shot of his confront off of social media. She did this before she even left the poor guy. So much for the onetime wedding vows of "standing abreast you through thick and thin, through good and bad, through joy and sorrow." Once the going got rough, Kaley left him cold.

fourteen Dated Superman

Before Kaley got married, she was out playing the field. Back then, she was pretty much unknown, despite acting on one of the most popular sitcoms on television. This nether-the-radar factor may be considering she dated a bunch of nobody dudes. She unremarkably goes for sporty guys who have no real pop culture appeal. Well, one day, Kaley decided to change all of that. Some people say that she even began targeting famous dudes, not that she actually liked them, but she knew that dating them would splash her face on the tabloids. Then, Kaley concluded up getting with Henry Cavill, right on time with his debut in the Superman franchise. The relationship didn't last that long, simply Kaley made her marker and has been a target of the paparazzi ever since. Here'southward what she said about the tabloid press in jest, but there'due south some truth in that location too, "Love paparazzi, thank you for managing to capture the best and worst angles of my a*s that's humanly possible. You lot make dreams come true."

thirteen Moves On Fast

After Kaley's divorce, she moved on faster than a speeding bullet. So fast, in fact, that she may have been cheating while she was married. Most people don't just jump into a relationship immediately after marriage. They need a running starting time to become back into the game. However, Kaley was spotted dating Arrow player, Paul Blackthorne, in November of 2015, less than two months after her divorce. And that'due south just when she got spotted. When did the relationship truly brainstorm? She even posted comments on social media about the new swain right abroad. And this was done 2 days after she had her marriage tattoo removed. Kaley turned the wedding date tattoo into a black moth. According to nature experts, moths take one of the near unpredictable "intimate" lives of any insect. Looks like Kaley chose to replace her tattoo with a worthy subject. Presently, she ditched Paul and is currently dating Karl Cook, a pro horse rider.

12 Dated Galecki

If you lot watch the show, y'all know that Kaley's character on The Big Bang Theory, Penny, eventually gets married to the male person co-pb, Leonard, played by Johnny Galecki. Many fans have heard that the two dated in real life, and that rumor is truthful. The pair were actually quite serious at one point, but they had decided to continue the two-year-long relationship a surreptitious. Kaley finally opened upwards most information technology, years after, and had but the nicest things to say. In general, she said nearly Johnny, "[He was] one of my best friends and 1 of the closest people I've ever worked with." She likewise said that the human relationship ultimately failed due to all the secrecy. "Nosotros couldn't do anything. Information technology wasn't as fun as we wanted it to be," she said. "Everyone was always asking, and we deny-deny-denied. And I'thou like, 'Why am I denying this person that I love?'"

11 Disrespected The Flag

At that place are three things about Kaley's personality that stand out. First, she'southward a hopeless romantic and constantly gushes about her electric current fellow or hubby. Second, she loves sports and is ever trying a new exercise to go along her body fit. And 3rd, she is a huge animal lover. She loves her dogs and named her Insta account after her canis familiaris (@normancook). Her make new production company is even called Yes, Norman Productions. Merely sometimes, she is blinded past the beloved of her pets and has offended thousands of veterans when she posted a shot of her dogs sitting on an American flag. The Twitter world was in a tailspin after that. The rules state that the flag should never bear on the ground. And an unstated rule is that they should never touch a dog'southward butt either. State of war memorials across the country post "no dogs allowed" signs to ward off urine staining. Of course, Kaley apologized for the error. And so subsequently, she posted a shot of her and her young man wearing goofy American flag-themed outfits and making strange faces. Twitter didn't like that much either. What do they like?

x Habitation-schooled

Kaley tends to do some social taboos now and then, like the flag incident or the not-waiting-long-plenty-to-appointment-after-marriage thing. Mayhap one reason the social norms aren't followed well is considering Kaley didn't have that social foundation of a public school. Kaley was home-schooled much of her life by her mother. And this was no ordinary mom. Like many home schoolhouse teachers, Kaley'due south mother not only passed along data in her lessons, but she likewise included religious and political views, a.one thousand.a. propaganda. Kaley grew upward equally a conservative Christian and staunch republican. Seems like her faith lessons wore off afterward that divorce. And since supporting Bush in the extremely close Bush-league/Gore Election of 2000, she has tried to steer clear of politics.

nine Been Around For Decades

They were "the best determination I ever made," she told Cosmo back in 2004. Kaley received a breast augmentation shortly afterwards being cast in 8 Simple Rules. The new await helped her gain more screen time, for sure. The new bust likewise affected the arch of her character. Originally written as a more of a sugariness intelligent girl, Kaley's character, Bridgette, quickly turned into the stereotypical blonde ditz. But information technology wasn't all impaired blonde jokes for the graphic symbol. She also had to play some dramatic sequences, especially her guilt after Ritter died. Bridgette regretted that her last words to him had been "I detest you lot," which was a very relatable disharmonize. Her mental attitude confronting her dad was closely continued to the entire premise of the show and its full championship, The 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter. As everybody knows, most teens simply detest rules.

7 Sis In Showbiz Too

Kaley has a little sis in showbiz, and most people don't know that. Well, that'due south probably okay with Kaley. Later all, siblings are always competitive, whether they admit it or not. Kaley is glad that she'south on top, afterward they surely attended auditions together throughout babyhood. Today, Kaley and Briana at least pretend to get along.

The unabridged Large Bang cast was there to practice a Grease medley, so Kuoco changed into a ruby-red hot crop superlative with tiny black shorts and sang a song from Chorus Line. Which song would she choose? Well, she belted out "T*ts and A*s" with the legendary quote, "T*ts and a*s...have changed my life!" And Kaley didn't terminate singing awkward songs then either. She also starred on Lip Sync Karaoke. The vocal she chose in that location? "Move B*tch" by Ludacris. She doesn't exactly choose the nigh small-scale songs, simply she sure knows how to get everyone's attention.

five Flip Bomb Feminist

Kaley usually tries to steer clear of the political realm, but sometimes interviews can exist led into a bad direction. Kaley received some major criticism later on a quote was published in Redbook, which wasn't exactly an endorsement for feminism. Kaley told the classic women's magazine, "I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, simply perhaps that's because I've never really faced inequality." She went on to say, "I melt for Ryan v nights a week. It makes me feel similar a housewife; I love that. I know information technology sounds old-fashioned, but I similar the thought of women taking care of their men." Yikes! A little as well much elaborating there, Kaley. In her defence, Kaley said the Redbook quotes were taken out of context. She subsequently stated, "Of course, I'm a f*cking feminist. Wait at me. I bleed feminism. I become equal pay to my male costars on a big prove, I have my own domicile, I'k as independent as you could possibly be."

4 Played A Lesbian

Allow's movement on from feminism bug and go to the LGBTQI world. Actually, we're not sure where Kaley stands on the latter outcome, but we're bold she's a major supporter, since ane of her greatest allies in Hollywood is the legendary comedian and lesbian activist, Ellen DeGeneres. It seems like Ellen singlehandedly popularized the gay conversation in the nineties, and Kaley was beside her all the way. On the showEllen, when the star became the first woman to come up out on a sitcom, Kaley really played young Ellen in flashbacks. She also appeared in a later sitcom chosen The Ellen Show and, of grade, Ellen's biggest hit, the talk prove called Ellen, which has had Kaley as a invitee on several occasions. Ellen is a lover giving and receiving elaborate gifts, and in one show, Kaley presented her with a ping pong table signed by the unabridged Big Bang bandage. As for Kaley'south own curiosities, she did land that she had a beat out on Jennifer Aniston. But, I mean, who doesn't?

Kaley has a few more secrets upwardly her sleeve. Another one is her honey of horses.

She shows horses under an alias, and through this hobby, she came to know her electric current boyfriend, Karl Cook. Melt won the FEI North American Junior Young Rider Championships in 2007 and 2008, a top accolade in the equestrian field. He experienced a lull in wins, just lately reemerged as a top contender, recently winning the SmartPak Thou Prix. And Kaley couldn't be more smitten. She gushes almost Cook on Insta, and he gushes about her right back. Information technology'south all and then lovey-dovey that it's nearly gross, simply that's how Cuoco's romances scroll. On a side note, though, this pair may already be distantly related. Cuoco does mean cook in Italian.

2 Wore A Fat Suit

Everybody in Hollywood has a projection that they really don't want to talk about. At that place was a momentary loss of good judgment or a drastic attempt to piece of work with an idol. In this case, we're not certain why it happened, but Kaley decided to suit up for To Exist Fat Like Me. This wasn't even a existent film. It was a Lifetime movie that was ridiculously sappy. If you thought Shallow Hal was bad, with Gwyneth Paltrow in a fat suit and Jack Black in an ugly mask, then you volition be amazed at how bad To Exist Fatty Like Me was. There'southward zippo wrong with contesting fatty-shaming, simply even the biggest proponents of the anti-bullying movement must accept been embarrassed for Kaley in this movie. But hey, if you're in Hollywood long enough, you're bound to be involved in some stinkers. She likewise did Drew Peterson: Untouchable, about the dirty Illinois cop who killed his married woman.
