Kaley Cuoco on First Marriage to Ryan Sweeting: He 'Completely Changed'

Kaley Cuoco is featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine’s May 2018 issue, on newsstands April 10.

Here’s how the 32-year-old Big Bang Theory actress had to share with the mag:

On walking down the aisle for the second time (to fiancé Karl Cook): “I honestly thought I wouldn’t get married again. My ex [Ryan Sweeting] ruined that word for me. I married someone the first time who completely changed. The person I ended up with was not the person I originally met. And that wasn’t my fault—that was his. 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.”

On The Big Bang Theory­—and being the second-highest-paid TV actress (behind Sofia Vergara): “I spent my entire 20s on this show. I didn’t have to fight for pay…Knowing what it feels like [to be paid as an equal], I will always take that stand for myself.”

On being a girl boss and running her own production company, Yes, Norman Productions: “I want to be a full-on girl boss. I’ve been in the business so long, and I’ve worked with the best. I don’t let people mess with me. I want to show girls out there that you can be cool, wear yoga clothes, and run your own f—king company. You don’t have to be a guy in a suit. I want this to be a big company. I want to be sitting down a few years from now and have so many projects going. That’s what I’m excited about.”
