Before meeting Pelphrey, Cuoco was married twice before. She was married to tennis player Ryan Sweeting from 2013 to 2016 and to equestrian Karl Cook from 2018 to 2021.
"I've learned a lot about myself and about relationships through my past experiences," Cuoco said. "I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned, and I'm confident that I'm in a much better place now."
Cuoco recently decided to move her family away from Hollywood. She and Pelphrey now live on a ranch with their daughter.
"I wanted something away from L.A.," Cuoco said. "I love acting, but I also wanted a place where I could focus on my family and my own well-being."
Yasbeck has also chosen to honor her late husband's legacy by establishing the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. The foundation raises awareness about aortic dissection, the condition that Ritter died from in 2003.
"John was such a caring and compassionate person," Yasbeck said. "I know he would be so proud of the work that my children are doing to carry on his legacy."
As Cuoco and Pelphrey embark on a new chapter in their lives, they look forward to the future with optimism.
"I'm so excited about what the future holds," Cuoco said. "I have a wonderful partner, a beautiful daughter, and a supportive family. I'm truly blessed."
