Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook: Married!!!
Big news for the super adorable, very lovable Kaley Cuoco!
And probably her new husband, Karl Cook, too!
Yep, if you’re decent at context clues (and read the headline before you delved into the story), you know what’s up: Kaley and Karl finally got married!
The wedding took place at a horse stable outside of San Diego yesterday, and how perfect is that?
If you keep up with Kaley, you know that she absolutely loves horses — she’s been riding them for years, and more recently she’s gotten into competing at horse shows.
Which makes sense, because Karl is a professional equestrian.
The wedding wasn’t too big, with just close friends and family attending.
There seemed to be a big influence on family, too.
Even though it sounds too precious to be true, Kaley’s sister, Briana Cuoco (best known for being a contestant on The Voice), officiated the wedding!
Let’s see, what else … the bride looked absolutely amazing, of course!
She wore a beautiful dress by designer Reem Acra, complete with the most majestic bridal cape.
Seriously, just look at how stunning she looks in the photo she was kind enough to share on Instagram!
And then, because she is extra stylish, she changed into a white lace jumpsuit by Tadashi Shoji for the reception (below).
This is Karl’s first wedding, but of course it’s Kaley’s second — we all remember the unfortunate situation with her first husband, Ryan Sweeting.
Kaley began dating Ryan back in 2013, and as she explained at one point, after their first date, he pretty much never left.
They got engaged within a few months of dating, and they got married very soon after that.
Literally no one felt good about it.
Less than two years later, they got divorced amidst rumors that he cheated on her and that he’d developed an addiction to painkillers.
Since then, Kaley has had some pretty harsh words for him, explaining in an interview earlier this year that “I honestly thought I wouldn’t get married again” because “my ex ruined that word for me.”
“I married someone the first time who completely changed,” she added. “The person I ended up with was not the person I originally met.”
“And that wasn’t my fault — that was his.”
After finalizing the divorce, she said that she gave a lot of thought to how she wanted to do relationships going forward — she said “I knew how much I had to give and how much I wanted to receive.”
“I knew I just had to be patient, I had to go through a lot of things, but it brought me to Karl.”
And what a miracle that turned out to be!
With Karl, Kaley took things a lot more slowly, and he didn’t propose until last November, when they’d been together for nearly two years.
Remember that darling video of her crying after he gave her the ring?
It really does seem like she fits much better with Karl than she did with Ryan, and she said as much in a precious interview from back in March.
“He is my perfect match,” she gushed. “He lets me wake up in the morning and say, ‘I want to go and rescue rabbits.’ And he’s like, ‘All right, let’s get a coffee and let’s go.’ And that is him.”
“We are the same, our views are the same, our morals are the same, he is my perfect match.”
Congratulations, you beautiful kids!

Meryl Streep: Feuding with Karl Lagerfeld Over Oscars Gown!
High drama ahead of the Oscars tonight, y’all.
And, believe it or not, it involves the Academy Awards goddess herself, Meryl Streep.
It all started on Friday when Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld claimed in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily that Meryl had originally chosen a Chanel dress for the awards ceremony, but then she ditched Chanel in favor of a designer who would pay her to wear their dress.
He said that he’d designed the dress and that they’d started to make it, but then a few days later Meryl’s people called and told them “Don’t continue the dress. We found someone who will pay us.”
The dress that Chanel made for her cost around $ 105,000, and Karl said that while he would make dresses for celebrities and give the dresses to them, he wouldn’t pay simply for his design to be worn by a famous person.
As for the fate of the dress, Karl said that she could keep it, since it was made specifically for her.
“It’s couture,” he explained. “It’s perfect for her. A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?”
And he’s right — it does sound pretty cheap. To be given such a ridiculously expensive dress is generous enough, but to demand to be paid for wearing such a dress? It’s more than a little absurd.
But here’s the thing: all that really, really doesn’t sound like something Meryl would do.
And, according to Meryl herself, she never did.
In a statement, she explained that it is “against her personal ethics” to be paid to wear a gown for a red carpet event. Which makes sense — Meryl Streep is anything but tacky.
Karl was quick to apologize, explaining that “After an informal conversation, I misunderstood that Ms. Streep may have chosen another designer due to renumeration, which Ms. Streep’s team has confirmed is not the case.”
“I regret this controversy and wish Ms. Streep well with her 20th Academy Award nomination.”
But Meryl wasn’t having it. Not even a little bit.
Another statement Meryl released through a rep said that “Karl Lagerfeld, a prominent designer, defamed me, my stylist, and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to wear, in an important industry publication.”
“That publication printed this defamation, unchecked. Subsequently, the story was picked up globally, and continues globally, to overwhelm my appearance at the Oscars, on the occasion of my record-breaking 20th nomination, and to eclipse this honor in the eyes of the media, my colleagues and the audience.”
She added that “Mr. Lagerfeld’s generic ‘statement’ of regret for this ‘controversy’ was not an apology.”
So yeah, it’s pretty safe to say that Meryl is pissed.
Everyone should know better than to cross such an international treasure like this.

Kaley Cuoco Celebrates 1-Year Anniversary With Karl Cook
Back in March of 2016, we learned that Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook are dating via a post on Kaley’s Instagram page.
At first, the revelation was dismissed as a premature April Fools’ joke, as the pair seemed almost comically well-matched.
They’re both blonde equestrians, and their names are so similar you can’t really fault the folks who thought Karl’s was made up.
(They have the same initials, of course, and Cuoco means “cook” in Italian.)
Now, however, we realize that Kaley and Karl are the real deal …
… and apparently they didn’t keep their relationship on the down-low for very long.
Yesterday, Kaley and Karl not only celebrated Valentine’s Day, but also their first anniversary as a couple.
Kaley posted the pic below to mark the occasion:
She captioned it:
“Every day since we’ve met has been better than Valentines Day … Happy 1 year my [heart emoji].”
A nice sentiment, and a reassuring sign to Kaley’s fans, as she’s made it clear in the past that she’s one of those people who isn’t happy unless she’s in a relationship.
Shortly after getting dumped by Henry Cavill, Kaley married Ryan Sweeting after just a few months of dating.
It ended about as well as you would expect.
Kaley and Ryan got divorced in September of 2015 for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear.
They were married less than two years, and the actress made no effort to conceal the fact that she was devastated by the split.
She bounced around with a few rebound guys, and fans feared she’d once again rush into a disastrous match.
Fortunately, by the time she found Karl, enough time had elapsed, that we’re willing to believe this is a legitimate relationship that’s not the result of a blind need to be with someone.
These days, Kaley’s love life seems to be of greater interest to fans than her acting career (which we suppose makes sense, as The Big Bang Theory is currently in its 47,000th season), so naturally folks are still drumming up “cause for concern.”
The main issue seems to be that Karl is significantly younger than Kaley, but even the biggest naysayers don’t see that as something that should be a deal breaker.
Besides, if she could ignore all the red flags that surrounded Sweeting, this girl can definitely make it work with a guy so well-suited to her that the Internet initially thought he was made up.

Kaley Cuoco: "So Happy" With Beau Karl Cook, Not Engaged...Yet
Kaley Cuoco is a hopeless romantic, if her stories about dates with boyfriend Karl Cook are any indication.
Cuoco, 30, recently spoke to People Magazine while promoting a new partnership between Visa and Uber, and things got adorable once talk turned to romance.
Cuoco and Cook are both equestrians, so a lot of what they do centers around horses.
Their schedules don’t allow for many dream dates, but whenever they do, Cuoco and Cook try to set the scene for a fairy tale evening.
“It’s funny, he’s either the one riding or it’s me, so we’re rarely doing it together,” Cuoco told People.
“But recently we did go on a little trail ride date. It was adorable. We hadn’t really done that yet. One is usually cheering for the other so that was kind of cute to go out together.
“We totally held hands. It was very dorky!”
And yes, they actually rode off into the sunset, which Cuoco deemed a “storybook ending” to their date.
Rumors began to circulate recently that Cook had proposed to Cuoco after an Instagram showed The Big Bang Theory star wearing a ring on that finger.
Cuoco finalized her divorce from tennis player Ryan Sweeting back in May after marrying him in December 2013. Us Weekly reported that Sweeting’s addiction to painkillers caused the split.
After separating from Sweeting, Cuoco dated Arrow star Paul Blackthorne, 46. However, Cook is the first man since Sweeting that Cuoco has been open about.
“When you share something so special, some sort of connection – for us, it’s horses, but anything two people share – you have that common goal and you know that you want the same things in life, day to day, and in the future,” Cuoco told People.
“It just sets you on a better path. Having a lot in common is really important and we definitely have a lot in common. I think that that’s what makes us so strong and really happy.”

Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook: ENGAGED Already?!
It wasn’t that long ago that we literally thought Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook’s relationship was a joke.
As it turns out, however, the equestrian-loving blondes with the bafflingly similar named (“Cuoco” means “cook” in Italian! Who spells Karl with a “K”? What is he, Marx?!) are actually in a relationship.
And in keeping with her M.O. Kaley is moving very, very fast.
Like, inadvisably fast.
Like, it’s looking like we’re in store for another Ryan Sweeting scenario.
Just a few weeks after we learned they were dating, Kaley and Karl moved in together.
Now, there’s reason to believe that these two crazy kids are engaged.
As you can see, KC appears to be sporting a massive rock on her commitment finger.
Apparently, there are people out there who still watch The Big Bang Theory, and they’ve pointed out that the ring in the photo is noticeably different from the one that Penny has been rocking ever since she married Leonard.
(Penny and Lenny is almost ridiculous a name coincidence as Kaley and Karl, but we digress.)
Anyway, Star magazine (we know, we know) reports that Kaley pressured Karl into putting a ring on it after they’d been dating for just two months.
After about 24 hours of rumors of rumors and speculation, Kaley amended the original caption on the pic to read:
“(ps everyone needs to calm down, that’s Penny’s wedding ring, not mine!)”
Hmm. Something still seems a bit off here.
Why wouldn’t she have said that in the first place instead of waiting full day for her fans to freak out?
And why would she be rocking the ring when she’s clearly not on set?
Seems like a recently divorced woman would want to ditch that thing the second she finished filming for the day.
We have two different versions of events here (one from Star, one from Kaley) and we don’t totally buy either of them.
We don’t believe Kaley pressured Karl into proposing, but we wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if she’s engaged.
Kaley married Ryan Sweeting after just a few months of dating.
To make the matter worse, she got the date of their ceremony tattooed on the back of her neck.
She later covered that up with a giant tattoo of a moth.
Yeah, smart decisions aren’t exactly her strong suit.
Hopefully she’ll take her time with this relationship.
There are only so many insects you can get tatted on your body without it being super weird.

Kaley Cuoco: Already MOVING IN With Karl Cook?!
Back in late March, a guy named Karl Cook started popping up on Kaley Cuoco’s Instagram page.
At first, we thought it was Kaley’s idea of an April Fools’ prank.
Like, “Hey, I’m dating a dude who’s basically a male version of me, right down to the blonde hair, love of horses, and damn near identical names.”
(Cuoco means “Cook” in Italian.)
It wouldn’t be the world’s most hysterical practical joke, but this is a girl whose idea of a good gag is making fans think she cut her hair shorter than usual.
She’s not exactly this generation’s greatest prank master, is what we’re saying.
Anyway, we no know that Kaley and Karl are really dating.
In fact, “dating” doesn’t really do this relationship justice.
These two are moving at such a breakneck speed that it’s like they’re involved in some sort of Duggar-style pre-marriage courtship arrangement.
Insiders tell Star magazine that they’re concerned with the foolish way that Kaley and Karl are rushing into this thing, and they were shocked to learn that Kaley has asked Karl to move in with her.
“No one can believe it,” a source tells the tabloid. “They’ve only been dating for a couple of months.”
If you’ve followed Kaley’s love life at all, you know that this is her M.O. and she’s been burned by it in the past, most notably and she married Ryan Sweeting after just a few months of dating.
The actress wound up filing for divorce after less than two years.
“Sure, Karl’s a decent guy and nothing at all like Ryan, but this is crazy,” says Kaley’s anonymous friend. “Did she learn nothing?”
On the plus side, Karl comes from money, so he’s probably not after Kaley’s loot.
Even so, here’s hoping her second prenup is even more iron-clad than the first.
