On The Big Bang Theory, romance was complicated, awkward, and often hard-won. Off screen, however, the show’s leading ladies have found steady, supportive partners — stories just as meaningful as their fictional arcs.
Kaley Cuoco & Tom Pelphrey
After publicly saying she wouldn’t marry again, Cuoco was surprised by a whirlwind romance with actor Tom Pelphrey. The pair met in 2022, welcomed daughter Matilda in 2023, and got engaged in 2024. Pelphrey, known for Ozark, frequently praises Cuoco as his “favorite person,” calling her heart and devotion to family unmatched.
Melissa Rauch & Winston Beigel
Rauch’s real-life partnership mirrors Bernadette’s loyalty — with a creative twist. Married since 2007, Rauch and Beigel are longtime collaborators. Early on, he even pretended to be her manager to help her book roles. Today, they write and produce together, proving their relationship thrives both personally and professionally.
Mayim Bialik & Jonathan Cohen
Bialik’s love story is as thoughtful as she is. After divorce, she found connection with Jonathan Cohen, her podcast co-host and creative partner. Together, they openly discuss love, vulnerability, and growth later in life — embracing the complexity of building a relationship as fully formed adults.
