Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco Spill the Beans on Their Secret Two-Year Romance
Who would’ve thought the geeky charm of Leonard and the bubbly Penny would translate IRL? But it did, and for two years! The Big Bang Theory co-stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco just spilled the beans on their secret romance.
The duo kept their relationship under wraps for years to protect the on-screen magic of Leonard and Penny. Galecki revealed that he was worried about the fact that their past would conflict with people’s acceptance of them. But now, the cat’s out of the bag, and it turns out, these two were the real-life sitcom goals. Cuoco opened up about their relationship a few years ago, as she confessed to CBS Watch! Magazine (via Yahoo):
We knew we weren’t destined to be together. Look, if we ever break up, we will be professional, I’m so lucky it was a mutual ending and that we don’t hate each other. We’ve seen that happen on other shows.
But unlike other on-screen couples who turn into off-screen enemies, these two parted ways amicably. Fast forward to today, and both stars have happily moved on. Cuoco is engaged to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, and Galecki is all smiles for his former flame. The actor congratulated his co-cast and told E! News:
Very, very happy for her. She’s very happy, which makes me terribly happy.
Galecki and Cuoco’s story is a refreshing change from the usual Hollywood break-up drama. It’s proof that even in the crazy world of showbiz, some love stories can have a happy ending—even if it’s not the one fans were expecting.
