Kaley Cuoco has confirmed a new romance following a 'rough' divorce from her ex-husband.
The Big Bang Theory star and lead in The Flight Attendant shared a happy post with new boyfriend Tom Pelphrey, showing the two smiling together.
“Life lately,” she wrote, before adding the quote: “The sun breaks through the clouds, rays of gold slipping into my eyes and heart, rays of yellow to break the grey.”
Kaley, 36, split from her second husband Karl Cook in September last year after three years of marriage. Karl was her second husband after her marriage to tennis player Ryan Sweeting.
In a joint statement, Karl and Kaley said when they split: "Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realised that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions… There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary."
Who is Tom Pelphrey?
Tom Pelphrey is an actor known for roles in As the World Turns and Guiding Light. It was recently revealed he is dating actress Kaley Cuoco.
Tom, 39, is also known for playing Ben Davis in the Netflix original series Ozark.
He shared a cryptic Instagram post showing him and his new girlfriend, with a quote that read: "But nothing can save you. Not your friends, not the best Fred Astaire musical you’ve ever seen – the grace of it, not your mother’s beauty, not a line from a letter you find at the bottom of a drawer, not a magazine or the next day. Nothing can save you."
He is from New Jersey in the US and is reported to have begun acting in high school, before shifting over to London to learn his trade at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre in London.
For his role in Guiding Light as Jonathan Randall, Tom won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series in 2006 and 2008.
Who has Kaley Cuoco dated?
Kaley Cuoco has been married twice before her relationship with Tom Pelphrey. First to tennis player Ryan Sweeting and then to Karl Cook.
Kaley described the period of her second divorce as a rough time in her life and a few relationship instances have not been easy for her to deal with.
Speaking to Glamour, Kaley said: "I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership. But I will never get married again.
"Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover."
She has had a well-documented dating history, including in 2003 when she went out with Gossip Girl's Damien Dalgaard, singer Jaron Lowenstein and was rumoured to have dated model Al Santos in 2007.
Before she was married, Kaley dated on-screen The Big Bang Theory love interest Johnny Galecki from 2007 to 2009.
She later said the relationship, which was kept very private at the time: "We were so protective of ourselves and the show and didn't want anything to ruin that."
She has since described him as one of her "best friends".
A second engagement came in September 2013 after three months of dating Ryan Sweeting, but their marriage lasted only three years.
She found love again with her second husband Karl Cook, but they were forced to split in 2021 after being unable to reconcile their lives which were moving in "opposite directions".
