Cuoco said right around the time she and Galecki decided to end their romantic relationship, their characters Penny and Leonard suddenly saw an increase in love scenes. “When we broke up obviously it was a little sensitive for a minute, but I remember those weeks that Chuck [Lorre] had written these episodes where all of a sudden our characters were like sleeping together every other second,” she said. “Johnny and I talk about it and I think [Chuck] did that on purpose just to f— with us,” laughed Cuoco. "If I was with him, I would ask him because that came out of nowhere. All of a sudden these characters were all up on each other out of nowhere, but Johnny and I came out of it better than ever.”[video_embed id='5593225450001']RELATED: How Wine Caused Kaley Cuoco to Have Awkward Encounter With T.S.A. [/video_embed]Cuoco admitted that dating someone she worked with left few topics for the pair to discuss at the end of their day. “We would talk about what happened on set and we would make fun of ourselves because there was nothing to tell each other anymore. We would get there together, we would leave together and it was just kind of too much. It’s different on a sitcom. On a one-hour you don’t see each other every day, that’s different,” said Cuoco, who joked that the couple’s familiarity led to their split. “I got nothing else to tell you, I think this is done.”
Cuoco has nothing be praise for her ex, whom she told Shepard and Padman was her "partner" in her TBBT journey. The pair’s friendship meant they were able to celebrate their monumental pay days together, which took place after the main cast members decided to negotiate their raises as a team. “We would have these late night conversations and we would be bawling because I knew and he knew in that moment that this would never happen again,” said Cuoco.The actor, who stars in the upcoming gritty drama The Flight Attendant, spent the bulk of her appearance on the podcast praising her husband Karl Cook. A professional equestrian, Cuoco said that much of the success of their relationship is due to Cook having a career and life outside of their marriage. "I was like, I have to be with someone who really has, whether they're famous or not, their own life. I think what's so cool about Karl, everyone that's gotten to know him, he loves his life and he loves his equestrian world,” said Cuoco who married Cook in 2018. “He's so cool in the arena, literally in that arena, so he's so fulfilled."Stream episodes of The Big Bang Theory anytime on CTV.ca and the CTV app.[video_embed id='2049925']BEFORE YOU GO: 'Horse girl' from Alberta can gallop and jump just like a horse [/video_embed]View this post on Instagram
