Kaley Cuoco wore a prop ring to give Ryan the ‘hint’ that he should propose

Kaley Cuoco just announced her engagement to Ryan Sweeting one week ago. They’ve barely been dating for three months and the whole thing just seems very rushed and weird and… like it’s about something else? Like there’s some kind of hidden agenda at play. I assumed the hidden agenda was on Kaley’s part, like she wants a higher profile and she wants to be a movie star and that’s why she’s so try-hard nowadays. I also thought there was an agenda on Kaley’s part to “prove” to a certain caped superhero that she was indeed O-V-E-R him.

What I never considered was whether this Ryan dude has an agenda. I mean, I asked why Kaley was dating a “professional tennis player” ranked 532nd in the world. But why is HE with HER? She’s cute and bubbly and she freaked out when he tried to pick a fight with her (just before he proposed). But it seems that Kaley’s friends are worried that Ryan is just a Tennis K-Fed. Star Mag’s sources claim that Kaley is “so desperate to get married that her family and friends fear she’s rushing into things with Ryan.” A pal says: “Kaley is addicted to love… everyone has tried telling her that she barely knows Ryan. Kaley has a great career but she’s insecure. People are worried that Ryan is with her for the wrong reasons.” What “wrong reasons”? Money? I guess it’s money. Still, Kaley really, really wanted that ring. To the point where she was going Full Jennifer Love Hewitt:

A source says Kaley’s role as a ready-to-wed fiancée in “The Wedding Ringer” prompted Ryan to propose. Kaley had been sporting a prop sparkler on and off the set of her new film and an insider says it was a signal to her boyfriend that she was ready for the real thing.

“Kaley’s crazy about Ryan,” said a source. “She was wearing the fake bling all around hoping Ryan would get the hint – and he did!”

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

OMG, you guys. Seriously, all the men out there – isn’t this a signal that the girl you’ve been casually dating for a few months is a Stage 5 Clinger? When the lady that you’ve been banging for a few months starts wearing a PROP RING everywhere and saying “HINT HINT,” how do you not run screaming from that situation? I would run screaming from that situation even if Kaley was just a casual friend. And this really is from The Jennifer Love Hewitt School of Dating. But did Kaley just out-JLH the JLH?

    I have honestly never seen her in anything other than those ridiculously annoying Priceline commercials with William Shatner.

  2. T.C. says:

    This woman is wacko. I’d run faster than the RoadRunner to get away.

    • Erinn says:

      Agreed. The woman is a whacko. It’s both sad, and annoying really. She’s really trying SO HARD to be more famous than she is. She’s not a great actress, unless you need a part for a blonde who makes weird scrunched up sour faces all the time.

  3. aims says:

    They’re doomed. I find the desperation really gross. This thing smells very Taylor swift to me, and it’s not a good smell. I just am turned off by the whole situation.

    • carol says:

      yah marriages that started when he just ‘poped the question’ dont usually work out. You have to TALK about things before hand and discuss whether or not you want to be married.

  4. Elodie says:

    Gotta give it to her though, well played the PR stunt with Cavill, since then she’s been talked/photographer/followed about more that she ever was before…

    … and I need to get my nails done …

    • Mrs. Peacock says:

      Ew Ew Ew- not like hers, I hope! Her nails…I just…can’t. Although they are nowhere near as vile as Helen’s from Project Runway. The HORROR!!

    • Hakura says:

      I need to get mine done, too. & I’m with Kay, they’re just too pointy, not a good shape/length for her hands. The last time mine were that pointy was for a costume. (Went & Had them done sharp like claws ♥). Just try to avoid the ‘ghetto-Miley’ look too, while you’re at it. >.<

  5. mojoman says:

    Why does she always have that “I need to spit” face in every pic??

  6. Allison says:

    I’m pulling back most of the blame I put on Cavill for that awful PR show. True colors. Yeezus.

  7. Feebee says:

    Are all 20 somethings in Hollywood emotionally stunted? Really…. wearing a ring and saying Hint, hint? Sweeting’s not much better a) going along with it and b) maybe he’s lonely travelling so much for his sport – though if it’s not that maybe he should try harder otherwise he’s going to stay far from the top 100 for a looooooong time.

  8. Marisa says:

    I can smell the desperation through my iPad

  9. Florc says:

    Kaley has a track record of moving too fast with guys and them dumping her because of that. Shame. Hen pecking a guy to propose is a very good way to have a short and unhealthy relationship

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Most men would (rightfully) run in the other direction if a woman starting pressuring them to marry her after 3 months. Yikes.

  10. *Laowai* says:

    So, is their plan to release a new tidbit about this boring engagement every day to prolong the media exposure?

    Because if it is, it is, like everything else about this girl, pretty damn tacky.

    And, yeah, wearing a ring to send a signal is–just like everything else about this girl–pretty damn tacky.

    They deserve each other. I only fear that any children they might have don’t have a shot at possessing a shred of social common sense.

  11. Birdie says:

    This makes me see the whole Henry Cavill disaster in a new light. I blamed him for it, but now..

    • Florc says:

      No way he was calling the paps every day to get Kaley in her morning pap stroll for coffee… Poor Henry.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        What really made me stop and think about it (because I thought the same as Birdie) was the tweet she did after they broke up–the “love of my life” one with the horse, and people who were talking about the cryptic tweets that she did a few weeks before they were pap’d i.e. the drooling over the Superman poster.

        Add all that to that SMIRK she had in every picture–where she was either falling all over herself to be on him (like Kate Bosworth leaning INTO Michael Polish when they first got together, while walking on the sidewalk) or smirking directly at the paps, while Henry was just looking straight ahead, no expression.

        And it’s such a shame, because while I wasn’t a fan of her acting–she hasn’t shown much range–I liked her because I thought “hey, this is one of the very few cute, perky, sort of rom-com actresses that don’t whore out their personal lives”–and then she proved me wrong.

  12. Yelly says:

    She used to be super pretty now she just looks weathered.

  13. Kiddo says:

    Easy there, now. I heard Ryan hired a stunt man to pop the question. Hollywood! Since I don’t have a cynical bone in my body, I see absolutely no coincidence that she plays a bride in the movie she is filming. Nope.

    • Samtha says:

      That’s what I think–it’s all related to this movie. There will be a series of bride-magazine covers and interviews about how she’s planning her own wedding while playing a wedding planner! What a coincidence!

      And then they’ll probably end the engagement after the movie bombs.

  14. QQ says:

    OF Course this Desperate for attention girl Did that OF.COURSE!!

    TENNIS K-FED!! Yuuussssss

    Im ranked right after him and ive never played

    • Mrs. Peacock says:

      @QQ-
      I totally read your comment as “TENNIS F-KED” LOLOL way to make a comment that is hilarious both dyslexic-ally and non-dyslexic-ally.

  15. rianic says:

    My brother and his wife knew each other as children then reconnected when he was 21 and she was 20. They were literally engaged on their second date. Michael bought a “prop ring” from Walmart and asked her. He then presented her with a real ring and a “real proposal” two months later when she came to his Army base at Christmas. That was in 2000, and they’re still like newlyweds. So I guess maybe it works for some people?

    • Florc says:

      Sounds like there was some kind of foundation there. And they sound like they wanted the relationship to work. Relationships take work. Kaley moving quickly with every guy and JLH type tactics to force a proposal are bits I think your couple went without. That said, sometimes it does work and is nice:)

    • Stef Leppard says:

      Your bro and his wife knew each other as children. Kaley met this dude three months ago.

  16. Happy21 says:

    God, she’s so pathetic. I feel so sorry for her. I liked her up until the whole Henry whasis thing and now she just seems, um, totally desperate.

  17. Meggin says:

    She used to be a lot prettier than she is now. First season of Big Bang. Great show but definitely not because of her!

  18. kibbles says:

    To be fair, these are things that non-celebrity women do too. I knew of a girl in grad school whom I heard purposely bookmarked an engagement ring she liked online on her bf’s laptop so he’d find it. She had dated this guy for no more than a year. He ended up proposing with the ring she had bookmarked. She had a Reece Witherspoon type-A personality. Sometimes it is the most aggressive and crazy girls who snag the guy and get the good job because they have more guts than shy girls to go after and demand the things that they want while others remain passive. I’m not saying this is a good trait and I’d be surprised if most of these marriages last a lifetime or if the guy is happy at all, but in the short-term these tactics sometimes work.

    • Green Girl says:

      I had a friend who would start talking about “our wedding” with guys she just started dating. I was speechless when she told me she’d talk about it. So yes, “that type” of woman does exist.

  19. silvia says:

    I don’t get the hype around her..she’s a mediocre actress, not really funny in TBBT, just a ‘dumb hottie stereotype’ and her expression is always so sour… she seems pretty desperate if the hint thing is true.

  20. Tish says:

    Sad and desperate.

  21. The Original Mia says:

    Desperate! Yeah, this relationship will last long.

  22. Madriani's Girl says:

    I must be blind because I don’t understand how a guy would take a fake ring as a hint. To me, that screams “I make enough money to buy my own bling” not “I want you to ask me to marry you”.

    • Hakura says:

      @Madriani’s Girl – I know there are some women who will ‘save’ their left ring-finger for their engagement/wedding rings, & never wear anything else on it. (It wouldn’t surprise me to hear that about Kaley, where-as I personally wear whatever on that finger w/o worrying about it). So there’s that…

      Then of course there’s sort of a common distinct ‘look’ to engagement & wedding rings… at least ‘traditionally’, that focuses more on one stone, or has a particular ‘setting’.

      If you combine the two, I can see how, for her personally, it could be meant to be or taken as a ‘hint’, instead of just rocking some major bling.

  23. Sarah says:

    The tennis K-Fed nickname is perfect since Kaley looks more like Britney Spears than Britney Spears.
    That hairline + messy ponytail topknot thing is a hot mess. Emphasis on mess.

  24. themummy says:

    I like her. I also think people take gossip as fact right away without analysis. I don’t believe most of this crap. Either way, having a theory does not facts make. You’ve all built this whole, detailed story based on some still photos and nothing else. Reality might be far different than any of this made up stuff.

    • paranormalgirl says:

      Gossip is fun, but it’s not always based in truth or reality. I try to take it all with a grain of salt – hell, in some cases it’s the whole shaker of salt! I like Kaley Cuoco and I don’t see the point of making fun of someone who is ATP ranked 532 when the ATP rankings go up to 2,127. At one point (2011), Ryan Sweeting was ranked 64 and made over a million dollars in prize money.

      • Samtha says:

        I think he’s recovering from an injury, too. One season of not playing will drop your ranking like a stone.

        Oops! This was meant to be in reply to paranormalgirl!

  25. Leslie says:

    Sounds like she’s still in junior high.

  26. SallyJay says:

    I love her manicure here. Can anybody help me out with the nail polish color, or recommend something similar?

  27. Connie says:

    Judging by the source I doubt this story is true, but the gossip hound in me hopes it is because it would mean she’s a big ol’ bag of crazy.

  28. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    And you all know that her pr team put this out there…..

  29. Miss M says:

    I am glad I always see through her (what a trick!) during the PR debacle with Cavill. You never fooled me, Kaley!!! NEVER! 🙂

  30. Andrea says:

    My coworker moved in with her most recent bf after a month. They have been talking marriage and have been together maybe 4 months now. I get that that is the way she is and it seems her guy is that way too. Its nice when two people like that find each other. I on the other hand at 32 cannot imagine getting married and have broken up with every bf I have ever had. I probably will dump the current one, one day too. I just can’t seem to find someone who is right for me and I can’t imagine doing the whole hint deal. Scary.

  31. DHStyles says:

    In love with her dreamy coral boho dress! Absolutely awesome!

  32. lady_luck says:

    Kaley always struck me as a clingy, love-hungry whacko. Even on the big bang theory, whilst I warmed to most characters on the show, I just sensed something off, a bit of a desperate whore vibe, u might say, in Kaley. And I was right!!!

  33. Lisa says:

    Why is everybody bashing Kaley for beeing the wacko? If it was the other way around, the woman would be a famehoring golddigger but not a mean word about him. So if she wears a ring on the “wrong” finger, what do we know? I think we should be more supportive of our own sex.
