The Flight Attendant actress proved she was ready to settle down early in her rocketing career when she married tennis player Ryan Sweeting after a few months of dating in December 2013. The pair separated after less than two years of marriage in 2015. Reflecting on her brief nuptial with Ryan, the actress says, "I married someone the first time who completely changed.

The pair met at a horse show and soon ensued a romantic tie.

Cuoco's conjugal life with Cook ended just as fast as her first marriage, with the pair announcing their split in 2021.   

"Despite a deep love and respect for one another, [Karl and I] have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite direction. There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary," the estranged pair's joint statement read. The Big Bang Theory actress later revealed how she put up a brave face in public as she battled a trauma in her personal life. In an interview with Glamour last year, Kaley said she has sworn off marriage. "I will never get married again. I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership. But I will never get married again," the actress shared.
