Kaley Cuoco Divorced: Her History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Kaley Cuoco has been married and divorced more than once over the course of her career.

Not all of her famous relationships have involved tying the knot.

And some of her breakups have been more amicable than others.

Here is a look at Cuoco’s most famous relationships and marriages — and where things stand today.

In the aughts, Kaley Cuoco dated Johnny Galecki for a couple of years

Kaley Cuoco’s first big claim to fame was The Big Bang Theory.

On the polarizing sitcom, she co-starred with Johnny Galecki.

The two dated for about two years, keeping their relationship very private.

In December 2009, Cuoco and Galecki split.

However, they would go on to remain on good terms. That’s a good thing — especially for co-stars whose show lasted an unbelievable 12 seasons.

She was briefly engaged to Josh Resnik (2011-2012)

In October 2011, Cuoco became engaged to Josh Resnik.

Unlike her TBBT co-star, Resnik is not an actor — he is an addiction specialist.

Their brief engagement would last mere months.

By March of 2012, Cuoco and Resnik had split.

Her next major romance, however, would be far more consequential.

Kaley Cuoco married Ryan Sweeting in 2013 and divorced him in 2015

In September of 2013, Kaley Cuoco became engaged to Ryan Sweeting.

She and the professional tennis player had been dating for only three months.

On New Year’s Eve 2013, Cuoco and Sweeting tied the knot in Santa Susana, California.

Almost exactly two years after their engagement, they realized that things were not going to work.

They announced their divorce on September 25, 2015. In May of 2016, they finalized their split.

Not every relationship lasted very long (and that’s healthy!)

Three months after filing for divorce from Sweeting, Cuoco began dating Paul Blackthorne.

Blackthorne has had a lengthy career, from starring on The Dresden Files and Arrow to a guest role on The Gates to appearing via motion capture in video games like Star Wars Battlefront II.

They broke up in early 2016.

Speaking of handsome British dudes who don’t always get to use their natural accents on screen, news broke in July 2016 that Cuoco and legendary hottie Henry Cavill were dating.

A mere 10 days after those headlines, they split — but reportedly remain good friends. Notably, both have played major DC characters (Harley Quinn and Superman), and Blackthorne of course was on Arrow. Small world.

Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook married in 2018, separated in 2021, divorced in 2022

In late 2016, Kaley Cuoco began dating Karl Cook, an equestrian.

About a year later, in November 2017, they became engaged. That happened to be on her 32nd birthday — November 30.

In June of 2018, they married.

A little over three years later, Cuoco and Cook announced their separation in September 2021.

Then, in June of 2022, four years after they tied the knot, Cuoco and Cook finalized their divorce.

Kaley Cuoco is currently dating Tom Pelphrey (and they have a kid together!)

In May of 2022, Cuoco confirmed that she was in a relationship with fellow actor Tom Pelphrey.

Only five months later, she took to Instagram to share that the couple was expecting their first child together.

On March 30, 2023, Cuoco and Pelphrey welcomed baby Matilda.

About a year and a half later, on August 14, 2024, they announced their engagement.

As of October 2025, Kaley Cuoco and Pelphrey have neither married (nor, obviously, divorced) and are still together.

Miley Cyrus Pregnant? The Rumor & The Truth

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is Miley Cyrus pregnant?

That is actually an age-old question (older than it should be, if we’re being honest).

But Miley pregnancy speculation returns depending upon factors like hiatuses from public appearances, her relationship status, and more.

What has Miley herself said about this rumor?

‘Is Miley Cyrus pregnant?’ is not a new question (but it should be)

This year, a clip of Miley Cyrus addressing the rumor that she is pregnant made the rounds.

What makes this particular clip so remarkable is that it is not recent.

This isn’t from her lengthy relationship with or short marriage to Liam Hemsworth.

She was not even an adult at the time.

Miley was only 14 years old and a Disney star when grown adults parroted a baseless claim that she was pregnant.

byu/artbasiI inFauxmoi

As you can see in this throwback video on Reddit, Miley handled the question with a lot of maturity and clarity.

“I am not pregnant. I am 14 years old, and that is very lame because I’m a minor,” she told the cameras in 2007.

This was on a red carpet — so we’re not talking about an absurd rumor remaining on social media, either.

“And yeah. So stupid. The main reason that I’m here tonight [is to] set the record straight,” Miley added at the time.

She speculated: “I think that people that make stuff up like that do that, [it’s] kind of a cry for help, for attention.”

Does Miley want to have kids?

More than half of people under 50 don’t want kids.

That includes all of Millennials, younger Gen Xers, Gen Z, and we’re pretty sure that Gen Alpha are children so they are probably not answering surveys.

Miley Cyrus was born in 1992. No matter where you draw the line on the Millennial/Zoomer divide, she’s firmly in the Millennial camp.

And she is no exception to the majority take of younger adults.

In 2019, Miley told Elle that everyone is “expected to keep the planet populated,” particularly if they happen to have a working uterus.

“And when that isn’t a part of our plan or our purpose,” Miley observed, “there is so much judgment and anger.”

Pointing out alarming legislation over the past decade, she added: “They try to make and change laws to force it upon you.”

Grimly, Miley noted: “even if you become pregnant in a violent situation.”

In many cases, people who do not want children feel this way due to our dismal financial realities.

But she noted that many are blissfully child-free.

Her fans are, in a way, a little like her kids

And Miley Cyrus has spoken on the topic more recently, admitting that she wasn’t sure if she wants kids in July 2024.

In her mind, her fans are a little like her children.

(That’s a sentiment shared by her godmother, Dolly Parton)

At some point, hopefully society will progress to a point where both people will be able to afford to have kids (and have confidence that they aren’t inheriting our current hell world) and where people won’t ask if someone’s pregnant. That question is almost always rude.

For now, perhaps we should settle for “unless you’re a doctor or guidance counselor, don’t ask if a 14-year-old is pregnant.” That should not have to be explained to anyone.

Drew Barrymore Pregnant? Her Motherhood Journey, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is Drew Barrymore pregnant?

After first becoming a famous (yet troubled) actress as a child herself, she is uniquely suited to understand some of the hurdles of growing up.

These days, Barrymore is a beloved talk show host. The world just wants to see her happy.

For those wondering if she’s pregnant, her motherhood journey is fortunately no secret.

Drew Barrymore is a mom

As we previously reported, Drew Barrymore’s history of marriage has been complex — and began much younger than it should have.

In February 2011, she began dating Will Kopelman, an art consultant and the scion of a bigwig at Chanel.

Later that year, he proposed to Barrymore. The world at large learned of their engagement in early 2012.

Barrymore and Kopelman married in June 2012. Three months later, she gave birth to their first of two children.

Despite the misery of their 2016 divorce, the exes are now on good terms. That is great news, since they continue to be co-parents.

Olive was born on September 26, 2012.

Both of Barrymore’s daughters appear rarely if at all in public images. That is very wise.

We know that Olive’s nickname has been “Bear,” which is adorable.

Since that time, Olive has become a teenager.

And she has been a big sister for almost her entire life.

She has two amazing daughters (and guards their privacy)

Drew Barrymore gave birth to Frankie on April 22, 2014.

Her pregnancy with Olive was very hush-hush.

However, given that she was already a married mom when she and Kopelman conceived Frankie, perhaps they felt no need to keep the news to themselves.

Barrymore did not hesitate at the time to tell people that she felt a sense of relief that she was having another daughter.

She joked that this was for hand-me-down reasons. It seems likely that she was also trying to preempt anyone asking if she felt disappointed to not be having a son. (People are weird and intrusive)

Though Barrymore did not keep her second pregnancy a secret, she has a different approach to her daughters’ actual privacy.

Remember, she grew up in the spotlight. And that fame from an early age had some very famous downsides.

Interestingly, she has revealed that her kids have asked about acting.

Her ruling, thus far, is that a school play is fine. But Barrymore has lived the life of a child actress and would not want that for her kids.

Their time to be nepo babies may come. But they’ll have to be a little older before they can walk in her footsteps. (And, honestly, who better to help them navigate the entertainment world than their mom?)

Is Drew Barrymore pregnant?

There is no evidence that she is pregnant in the here and now.

Given her age, it is unlikely that Drew Barrymore will become pregnant.

However, if she does, she is much more likely the share the news — on her talk show, for one thing — than she was when she was carrying Olive.

It really sounds like she’s happy with her life and her family situation as they are.

It sounds like Olive and Frankie are lucky to have her as a mom.

Taylor Swift is headed to a small screen near you.

We can confirm that a documentary about the artist’s record-breaking Eras Tour, titled “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era,” will premiere on Disney+ on December 12.

The special six-part series will be accompanied by the simultaneous release of a new concert film, “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” shot at the tour finale in Vancouver, B.C.

Just in case there wasn’t enough Taylor Swift in your life these days, you know?!?

As announced on Good Morning America on Monday, the documentary will be “an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world,” spotlighting “performers, family members, and friends” including tour opening acts Gracie Abrams and Sabrina Carpenter and guests Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch.

The first two of the six episodes will go up for streaming on the aforementioned date, with two more episodes at a time each of the two weeks after that.

Swift, of course, just came out on October 3 with “The Life of a Showgirl.”

The studio album is selling at an historic pace, while songs such as “Wood” have the entire universe talking.

“It was the End of an Era and we knew it,” Swift wrote in a post announcing the projects on her social media. “We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives, so we allowed filmmakers to capture this tour and all the stories woven throughout it as it wound down. And to film the final show in its entirety.”

The concert film cited above bows at the same time as those first two docuseries episodes.

It will mark the first time fans have gotten a chance to see the material that was added to the Eras Tour from the “Tortured Poets Department” on the big screen.

Also, for those wondering:

“Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era” will be directed by Don Argott, co-directed by Sheena M. Joyce and produced by Object & Animal.

“Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show,” meanwhile, is directed by Glenn Weiss and produced by Taylor Swift Productions in association with Silent House Productions.

Shutdown polls show Democrats’ economic messaging still falling flat

Democrats’ hardline opposition to rising health care costs isn’t earning them voters’ trust on economic issues — a disconnect that lays bare the party’s challenge heading into next year’s midterms.

Voters blame Republicans more than Democrats for the federal government shutdown, according to a review of polling conducted after services shuttered. An Economist/YouGov survey of 1,648 Americans showed 41 percent hold the GOP accountable for the lapse in federal funding, compared to 30 percent who point a finger at Democrats and 23 percent who hold the parties equally responsible. A 2,441-person CBS News/YouGov survey also found Americans blame Republicans more than Democrats — 39 percent to 30 percent — with 31 percent faulting both. And a Harvard/Harris poll demonstrated 2,413 voters impugned Republicans more than Democrats by 6 points.

Those same voters, however, delivered the GOP a 4-point advantage when asked which party they trust more on economic issues. And a survey from Democratic-aligned firm Navigator Research showed 1,000 registered voters faulting Republicans for the shutdown by 11 points, but giving them a 2-point advantage on inflation and cost of living.

That dichotomy underscores an electoral hurdle for the party locked out of power: Even as Democrats hold the line over expiring health care subsidies that could send millions of Americans’ insurance prices soaring, voters still favor Republicans on the economy and cost of living.

“Are we going to get all the working class back? Probably not,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), who is seeking reelection in a redrawn Texas district while facing federal bribery charges. “[But] I see an opening here. … And we need to jump on that and just really focus and repeat over and over and over that we Democrats are interested in bringing costs down.”

The next challenge for his party, he added: “Make sure people understand we are a viable alternative.”

The shutdown-polling paradox has shown up in surveys for months, as Democrats struggle to move voters who are souring on President Donald Trump and his party’s handling of the economy and inflation into their corner. And it underscores the uphill battle Democrats face in wresting power from Republicans, even as they narrow their scattered messaging to affordability.

Frontliner Rep. Laura Gillen (D-N.Y.) called her party’s shutdown stance “an important step” toward convincing voters Democrats can tackle rising costs.

“And it’s a crucial step to take right now … to make sure that people don’t see their premiums go up exponentially,” said Gillen, who is defending the Long Island swing seat she flipped last year. “But then it needs to be part of a broader discussion to show that we are on the side of the American people and we care about the economic pain they’re feeling and we have a concrete plan.”

The party is still hashing out the particulars of that plan, which depending on the candidate ranges from pitching a hardscrabble background to railing against a rigged economy and vilifying the billionaires that benefit from it.

Right now, Democrats are trying to leverage their minimal power to force Republicans to stop Affordable Care Act subsidies from expiring at the end of the year, attempting to squeeze out a policy win on a top cost-of-living issue as they scramble to regain working-class voters.

The political winds have been shifting in Democrats’ favor on the economy. Trump’s net approval rating on the subject has nosedived since the start of his second term, polling averages show. Voters routinely rank inflation as one of their top issues, but disapprove of his handling of it. The latest CBS/YouGov poll showed three-quarters of adults don’t think Trump is doing enough to lower prices — one of his 2024 campaign trail pledges. Labor Department statistics show the job market is slowing.

Despite signs of economic distress, Republicans consistently enjoy a polling advantage on the economy. And Liam Kerr, who co-founded the centrist WelcomePAC, warned that Democrats won’t be able to erase it through a single stand on health care costs.

“You can’t just do it one time and all is forgotten,” Kerr said. “Playing against type requires even more effort.”

Nevertheless, Democrats remain confident they can reverse their heavy losses in 2024 by drilling down on voters’ cost-of-living concerns, according to interviews with half a dozen congressional candidates.

They cast their party’s shutdown play as part of a broader strategy that ranges from hammering Republicans over tariffs that could drive up prices for consumers and for businesses, to battling utility companies over rising bills. And they believe the slate of working-class candidates the party is putting up for House and Senate seats, from a firefighter in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley to a waitress in western Wisconsin, can convince voters that Democrats care about blue-collar Americans who have turned toward Trump in recent years.

They’re getting backup from Democrats’ national campaign arm, which on Friday launched a five-figure digital-and-billboard ad campaign and organizing effort to alert voters to the pending increase in their premiums.

Still, shutdowns carry risks for both parties, especially the longer they drag on. The Trump administration on Friday began firing federal workers, which could increase pressure on both sides to bring their standoff to an end. And some polls already show voters think Democrats should cave and reopen the government; a sentiment expressed by nearly two-thirds of voters in the Harvard/Harris survey and just over half of respondents to the Navigator poll.

But Democrats are dug in.

“We have to give people a reason to fight, and we have to get back to catering to the many over the few,” Cherlynn Stevenson, a state representative running for the Democratic nomination in Kentucky’s open 6th District, said. “This can be a big turning point for our party.”

Alec Hernández contributed to this report.

Chuck Schumer gets his preferred candidate, Janet Mills, in crowded Maine Senate race

Maine Gov. Janet Mills joined her state’s crowded Democratic Senate primary as the establishment favorite on Tuesday, aiming to flip Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ seat in a pivotal midterm year.

Democrats view the seat as one of their top pickup opportunities — the only in a state Kamala Harris won in 2024 — and Mills is among a few top-tier candidates Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer aggressively recruited to run this cycle. But first the term-limited governor must contend with a competitive primary against breakout candidate Graham Platner, an oyster farmer who announced he has more than $3 million in the bank and already received the endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Maine Beer Company owner Dan Kleban is also running for the nomination and his fundraising figures will be made public Wednesday, when federal filings are released.

In her launch video, Mills highlighted her recent fight with President Donald Trump over transgender sports and accused Collins of enabling him. “I won’t sit idly by while Maine people suffer and politicians like Susan Collins bend the knee as if this were normal,” Mills said.

Despite initial hesitation, the governor started interviewing staff and telling local reporters she was seriously considering a bid last month.

She addressed that long contemplation in her announcement, saying in the video, “Honestly, if this president and this Congress were doing things that were even remotely acceptable, I wouldn’t be running for the U.S. Senate.”

The race sets up the latest generational clash for a party struggling to find its footing after losing the White House and both branches of Congress last year.

Mills, who won her seat by wide margins in her last two races, is 77 years old, making her five years Collins’ senior at a time when Americans are grappling with debates about the age of their politicians. If elected, she would be the oldest first-year senator ever. Platner is 41 and unlikely to leave the race for Mills; Kleban, who is 48, has so far dodged questions about what he would do if Mills jumped in.

Democrats need to pick up four seats in order to win back control of the Senate, a difficult task that all but has to include a pickup in Maine, where Harris won by 7 points.

Democrats poured millions of dollars into an ultimately-unsuccessful effort to unseat Collins in 2020 — but her declining popularity in the bluing state is giving Democrats hope that next year’s race could be their best chance yet.

Republicans are eager to expose Mills’ weaknesses, and have already targeted her public fight Trump, as well as her age.
