After her high-profile divorce from Karl Cook in 2021, things are looking up in the romance department for Kaley Cuoco. The Big Bang Theory star is dating Ozark actor Tom Pelphrey, going public with their relationship in May 2022.
Cuoco, 36, and Pelphrey, 39, met through their manager. They kept things under wraps in the early stages, but made it Instagram official when Cuoco posted several Polaroid selfies of the cute couple with the caption “Life lately.” She also shared photos from their trip to Berlin. Likewise, Pelphrey posted affectionate photos with Cuoco on his account around the same time.
Sources close to the new couple said “sparks flew immediately” and that they “became close very quickly.” The insider also revealed that Cuoco is “really happy” with Pelphrey. After some difficult years, including her short-lived marriage to Cook, it seems the actress has found love again with the New Jersey native.
Cuoco and Pelphrey bonded over their mutual love of animals. She owns several rescue dogs while he became a foster parent to two pit bulls rescued from illegal breeding. The animal lovers often post photos with their furry friends.
In addition to gushing over each other online, Cuoco and Pelphrey have been spotted together frequently. Paparazzi caught them displaying PDA during a Los Angeles shopping trip. The couple also traveled overseas to Berlin for a romantic German getaway earlier this year.
After a few months of dating privately, their decision to share an intimate look into their relationship seems to suggest things are getting serious between the high-profile actors.
While Cuoco was previously wed twice – first to tennis player Ryan Sweeting from 2013-2016, followed by a three-year marriage to Cook from 2018-2021 – Pelphrey has never been married. However, he does have a daughter from a former relationship.
With the new relationship reportedly progressing smoothly so far, fans will have to stay tuned to see if wedding bells could be in Cuoco and Pelphrey’s future. For now, sources say Cuoco is relishing dating someone from the same industry who understands the demands of filming and travel. After some tumultuous years in her romantic life, it’s promising to see her so blissful again with her Ozark actor boyfriend.
