And that makes me want to be really good at giving that gift back every day,” he said.
“It’s been incredible. Life feels a little bit like a fairy tale. We just celebrated a year together and everything has changed. And yet every step of the way has never even felt like a decision to be made or a choice. It’s just like, this is what happens now and this is what happens next. And now we have a beautiful daughter.”

April, a bit later: Right on cue, Cuoco meets Pelphrey at the season premiere of Netflix’s Ozark. “I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting,” Cuoco told USA Today. “It hit me. It was love at first sight.”
For his part, Pelphrey didn’t realize what a huge star she was as a result of The Big Bang Theory, and hadn’t seen any of her projects. “Matter of fact, when I first brought Kaley to New Jersey to meet my family and friends, my mom’s partner—who apparently was a Big Bang Theory fan—was there, and he kept calling her Penny,” Pelphrey told W Magazine.
“I had no clue what was going on,” he said. “So I pulled Kaley aside, like, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t understand what’s happening. Why does he keep calling you Penny?’ She’s like, ‘That’s my character in The Big Bang Theory.’”
April: Cuoco, who is divorced from both Ryan Sweeting and Karl Cook, tells Glamour, “I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership. I believe in love because I’ve had incredible relationships. I know that they’re out there. I like being someone’s partner and having that companionship,” but, “I will never get married again. Absolutely not. You can literally put that on the cover.” You trying to make liars out of us, Cuoco?
