Why Kaley Cuoco Reportedly Changed Her Mind About Marrying Again Amid Tom Pelphrey Engagement
When Kaley Cuoco swore that she would “never get married again” in an April 2022 interview with Glamour, fans heard her loudly and clearly. She was coming off a four-year marriage to equestrian Karl Cook and wasn’t in the mood to entertain another walk down the aisle. That’s because her fiancé and father to her daughter, Matilda, 17 months, Tom Pelphrey, hadn’t entered the picture yet.
Now, a Life & Style insider is revealing exactly why the 38-year-old actress made such bold claims just two years ago. “[Kaley] “meant it at the time, but she was dealing with the pain and embarrassment of having her second marriage crash and burn.” The Flight Attendant star was first married to former tennis pro Ryan Sweeting from 2013-2016 before her marriage to Cook. Meeting the Ozark star was a game-changer in her life in more ways than one.

The engaged couple were introduced by their talent manager, Andrea Pett-Joseph, right around the time Cuoco swore off marriage for good. “[Andrea’s] like, ‘Oh my God, I think you guys are perfect for each other,’ ” Cuoco gushed to USA TODAY in May 2022. “Tom walked in, and I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting. It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected.”
That’s a far cry from her emphatic statement to Glamour when she was working through the “trauma” of her marriage ending. “I will never get married again. I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership,” she said. “But I will never get married again. Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover.” Well, Pelphrey got his future bride to change her mind, especially because they want to expand their family and hopefully give their daughter a sibling.
“It makes sense to make things more official,” the Life & Style source noted. “Kaley’s more than happy to admit she was wrong to swear off marriage.” It’s proof that you can change your mind about anything, especially when the right person walks into your life.
