Cuoco was born on November 30, 1985, to Layne Ann and Gary Carmine Cuoco. Her mother was a homemaker, while her father was a realtor. Cuoco’s Sister Brianna is a former contestant on the voice and has a recurring role in the series Deadline.

Cuoco’s first acting role came in the 1995 thriller Virtuosity playing a young Karin Carter. She went on to appear in Ladies’ Man in 2000 and 2001. In 2002, the actor got her breakthrough in the ABC sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter. She played Bridget Hennessy, the oldest daughter.

Cuoco is also a voice actor and has lent her voice to animations such as Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, and Bratz. She also landed a role on the drama Charmed playing Billie Jenkins, a witch who is knowledgeable in projection and telekinesis. The show’s executive producer stated that Cuoco was supposed to get a spinoff from the show.

In 2007, the 35-year-old actor landed another significant role on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. She portrayed Penny, an aspiring actor living in the same building as Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter. She became one of the highest-paid actors on TV in 2014 after she began earning $1 million for every episode of the CBS sitcom.

Cuoco and former husband Sweeting were married for 21 months

Cuoco has had various romantic relationships before. She, for instance, dated her costar, Johnny Galecki, for two years. Galecki plays the physicist Leonard who ends up marrying Cuoco’s character, Penny. The two secretly dated for two years before calling it quits in 2009. In October 2011, she got engaged to Josh Resnik but called off the engagement in 2012. She then got engaged to tennis ace Sweeting in September 2013. The two had been dating for three months. The couple, however, mutually ended their marriage in 2015.

Cuoco hasn’t had nice things to say about her ex-husband. She noted in an interview that Sweeting ruined the concept of marriage for her. She said that after her marriage to Sweeting, she never wanted to get married ever again. Cuoco acknowledged that after her marriage to the tennis player ended, she needed to go through a realization phase and find herself. She noted that she decided to close herself off from any romance, and that path led her to her current husband, equestrian Karl Cook.
