Kaley Cuoco met Karl Cook at a horse show in March 2016, and the two avid equestrians instantly connected and later got married in 2018. But in September of 2021, the couple split up, shocking fans and making them wonder, what went wrong?

In a joint statement to People, the couple explained that they still have love, respect, and consideration for each other, but their desired paths in life are different. They dispelled potential rumors of bad blood between them, and said that the reality is “quite the contrary."

It’s likely that Cuoco and Cook, both animal lovers, will have shared custody of their dog, Larry. Though the couple’s relationship may be over, their shared interests and respect for one another could mean they’ll remain friends.
