Now, Cuoco is best known for her work on The Big Bang Theory. Her role as Penny won the actress a place in many fans’ hearts.
But before she landed that role in 2007, the star actually got her big break in a Disney movie.
She played Elisa Bowers in Alley Cats Strike, a Disney TV movie from 2000.
She then went on to star in TV show 8 Simple Rules for a few years. Following the end of this show, the star provided the voice of Kirstee in a whole host of Bratz productions!

During her time on the show, Cuoco also dated a co-star. She was in a relationship with Johnny Galecki for around 2 years until they split in 2009. The pair managed to keep things pretty private between them, despite also being together in the show.
Following on from The Big Bang Theory, Cuoco continued on her story of success. One of her biggest projects is Harley Quinn, an animated series where she voices the titular character.
The thirty-six-year-old even founded her own production company back in 2017. Titled Yes, Norman Productions, the studio collaborated with Warner Bros. to produce the critically acclaimed The Flight Attendant.
One of the most exciting projects on the horizon for the actress is a project on Hollywood legend Doris Day. Variety reports Cuoco herself is set to play the star, with her production company again working with Warner Bros. on the project.
In terms of her personal life, Cuoco is no stranger to making the headlines when it comes to her dating history.

The actress then began dating tennis star Ryan Sweeting in 2013, and they became engaged after 3 months of dating. The pair tied the knot in a winter wedding in California, but announced their divorce less than 2 years later.
One of the most high profile of Cuoco’s exes has to be Henry Cavill. Per Us Weekly, the pair dated for a whopping ten days!
In late 2016, she met Karl Cook, an equestrian, who proposed on Cuoco’s thirty-second birthday! The couple married in 2018, but announced they were separating in 2021. They stated that: “our current paths have taken us in opposite directions”.
But now, the star of The Wedding Ringer has a new beau, she confirmed her new relationship back in May of 2022.
Cuoco took to Instagram to share the news of her pregnancy back in October, and the father is none other than Tom Pelphrey. The actor has starred in everything from Ozark to Banshee.
