The Real Reason Kaley Cuoco And Johnny Galecki Split

They played romantic couple Penny and Leonard on the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory, but Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki revealed in 2010 they had a real-life romance for a period as well. Somehow, the two stars managed to keep it out of the press for the entirety of their time together, only revealing it after the amicable split.
The two remain friends to this day, which is good when you have to work with an ex on a regular basis. So what was their relationship like and how did it end? Let’s take a look at the real reason Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki split.

Do you think these two are better off as friends or as lovers?

[BunnyTheQueenSkepticFirebrand]

That's really sad that two people who loved each other can't manage to be together simply because the general public can't control themselves appropriately and that so many people cannot tell the difference between on-screen and reality. Maybe after the show finishes they can try again and it won't be too late. Glad they're able to be professional about it and maintain their close friendship.

[Negacjaa]

Too bad, they look really cute together.

[squakingnugget]

Its sad that they had to hide like that. But the amount of professionalism they have and the strength of their friendship seems to show a lot.

Knock knock knock Penny? Knock knock knock Penny? knock knock knock Penny?

[jujjararora]

They needed one of sheldons relationship agreements
For real

[Womanwithblackdog]

Clearly they love eachother. Perhaps we haven't seen the end of their story.

[maevedoyle]

I think they're cute, as friends and lovers.

These people are actors for crying out loud. Why do people care who they date? Do you care who your mail man, plumber, roofer, etc date??? What's the big fascination??

[NamasteCC]

Woah I didn't even know they were dating in real life!

[elisagair]

As a HUGE fan of Big Bang, and of them individually; it's easy to see the chemistry between these two. Something unique in a lifetime, and not to take for granted---- it's no surprise they remain close. Johnny and Kaley, when God closes a door, He ALWAYS opens a window!!

[QUADclanZA]

I think they are perfect for each other - once the show is over I hope they give it a real go :)

[lovelylynn]

They agreed in the beginning they weren't meant to be together. Not a good way to start a relationship. Also...never date someone you work with.

[lolabigcups]

Our sick obsession with famous peoples lives messed up these peoples loving relationship. Im glad they were able to move forward and find love and keep a friendship.

[vincenth.]

Its funny that most relationship experts say that partners should be "profound friends" for a relationship to work, but these "profound friends" say that their relationship wouldn't have SMH

[bgwg]

Imagine, in the end when they aren’t together in real life they are together in TBBT, and possibly at one point during their real life relationship their characters weren’t together 🤯🤯

[whitelacey]

'Illicit' romance? Apparently, someone doesn't know the definition of illicit.

[ricstormwolf]

That's such a shame. To have to hide their relationship in the first place. I personally hope that things work out for the best for them. Also fingers crossed for another chance for them.

[greenrobot]

Wait, what? He was Rusty all this time? Mindblown!

[ConnorHazzy]

They didn't "lie" to their co-stars they just didn't tell them
