How Did Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey Meet? 

Meeting a significant other via work is always a possibility, and Kaley and Tom crossed paths thanks to their mutual manager. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress opened up about how she and her beau initially met, though it wasn’t the right timing. 

“My manager was submitting different clients and asked me if I knew who Tom was, and she goes, 'Side note, he's single,'" Kaley said, adding that she wasn’t ready to get back into the dating scene after having ended a relationship – she proceeded to forget about the entire interaction. 

"So the months had gone on and we'd never met, and I was promoting Flight Attendant with that same manager, who is his manager. [She asked,] 'I'm going to the Ozark premiere. Do you want to come with me?'" Kaley explained. "So I got all dressed up and I was standing there. I was at the bathroom and I was waiting and I hear this voice — it was Tom — and he's like 'Where's this Kaley?’ … It was like love at first sight.”

The two actors made their romance public knowledge in May 2022, shortly after Kaley filed for divorce from her second husband in September 2021 – she was married to Ryan Sweeting from 2013 to 2016. Kaley and Tom are still together as of publication, and often share glimpses of their lives together on social media.

"CONGRATULATIONS TO MY FAVORITE ACTRESS!!!" he gushed on Instagram. "Such beautiful, brave work. Beyond grateful to share this with you today…

For her part, the actress who brought Penny to life on the hit CBS sitcom Big Bang penned an adorable tribute to her man on his 40th birthday in July 2022, writing, “To the incredible man that saved me in all the ways..happy birthday, baby! To know you, is to truly adore you ... the world lit up the day you were born.”

I like being someone’s partner and having that companionship,” she said, before adding, “We’ve all been there where you think, ‘Oh, my God, I’m never going to meet someone else.’ And you do. There are great people that come into your life and they leave your life. And there are reasons for all of it.”
