Kaley Cuoco Opens Up About Post-Wedding Shoulder Surgery

Kaley Cuoco is addressing her fans' concerns.

On Friday, July 6, 2018, the Big Bang Theory star took to her Instagram Stories to open up about her recent shoulder surgery, which she'd undergone less than a week after tying the knot with professional equestrian Karl Cook.

"For everyone asking, because everyone's been so sweet and worried about me, this is a planned surgery I've had for over a year," Cuoco, who can be seen sporting a large cast, began in a series of videos. Revealing that she's looking at a four- to six-week recovery, the actress explained, "I hurt [my shoulder] over a year ago, did not need immediate surgery. So, I brilliantly planned it five days after our wedding. Right, babe?"

In response, Cook quipped, "Just brilliant, hun." Before thanking her followers for their love and support, Cuoco said she plans on lying low while she heals.

As Nicki Swift previously reported, Cuoco, 32, and Cook, 27, married in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. on Saturday, June 30, 2018. "Legally KCSQUARED 6-30-18," the TV star wrote on Instagram, captioning a black-and-white snapshot of the newlyweds sharing a kiss. While later posting a photo of the two walking down the aisle together, she wrote, "Happy ever forever."

Meanwhile, Cook shared a sweet pic of the bride and groom kissing on their big day, writing in the caption, "Good morning honey, I love you, and I'm sorry. I am still processing the greatest night of my life marrying the love of my life! I mean god damn that dress was amazing!"

The newly married pair announced their engagement in November 2017. "Well after nearly two years I finally got up the courage to ask her to marry me," Cook wrote on social media, while sharing a video of the proposal. "This is the best night of my life and I think the video shows it is the best night for Kaley as well...if she said yes!" 

The happy couple's nuptials mark Cuoco's second marriage. The former Charmed star was previously married to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting for nearly two years, before they divorced in 2015.

We're wishing Cuoco a speedy recovery!
