Grateful For Every Road That Led Me Straight To You, Says Kaley Cuoco
This caption holds more meaning than a simple declaration of love. Kaley Cuoco, 38, has been previously married twice. Her first marriage, 2013 – 2016, was to Karl Rock, a pro badminton player. In a 2018 interview before her second wedding to Karl Cook, Kaley stated that she did not think she would get married again as her ex ruined that for her. She felt he had completely changed and was not the same person she had originally married.
In 2018, Kaley married Karl Rock. They were together for two years and split in 2021. In an interview in 2022, Kaley talked about her relationship with Karl. In the interview, she said she would not marry again. She was open to a long-lasting romantic relationship or a partnership, but not marriage.
She then met Tom, and this caption on her engagement post,’ What a wild, beautiful journey life can be. Grateful for every road that led me straight to you@tommypelphrey.’ conveys so many emotions and moments behind it.

For his part, Tom Pelphrey also posted his feelings on Instagram with the poetic caption, in which he tagged a second lighted snap of them together, among which was a restful selfie. “Nothing can save you. And you stand in the moonlight and a sweetness comes off the top of the trees, and the fence around the yard seals you off from the dark, and you can’t breathe. It is all so familiar and possible. It is too simple that there is this much good in the world, and you don’t know how to have it,” he wrote.
Path to Parenthood
In October 2022, they announced that they were expecting their first child.
