California native Kaley Cuoco rose to fame on the 2002-2005 sitcom 8 Simple Rules as Bridget Hennessy, appearing opposite the late John Ritter. Taking on roles on Charmed, Growing Up Brady and the 2012 Lifetime movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable, Cuoco — born Nov. 30, 1985 — currently stars as the female lead on the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory.
A former nationally-ranked amateur tennis player, Cuoco dated her Big Bang Theory costar Johnny Galecki secretly for two years, choosing only to speak out about their relationship after their 2010 split. She was briefly engaged to addiction specialist Josh Resnik in 2011 and most recently dated Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill following her split from musician Bret Bollinger.
