Kaley Cuoco is dating a new guy and they’re all over Instagram

Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Cuoco told Ellen last month that she thought 2016 was going to be a “much better year” and it seems that romantically, it’s shaping up that way. The animal-loving actress has been spending quite a bit of time with equestrian Karl Cook. Kaley, 30, and Karl, 25, were spotted taking in a tennis match together a few weeks ago in California and she has posted photos with him on Instagram, like the one she posted two weeks ago, congratulating Karl on winning a competition. The caption read, β€œSooo how many wins does that make??? Amazing GP win @hitshorseshows #thermal, mr KC πŸ‘ŠπŸ΄ so proud of you! (And entire team !) πŸ’—.” Couple selfies? Emojis? Horses? This could be love.

Karl not only is a skilled equestrian, he also comes from good stock, as my Mom would say. His father, Scott Cook, founded the tax software firm Intuit, which created QuickBooks and TurboTax, and is valued at $2 billion. Not too shabby. And he’s a cutie to boot. Good on you, Kaley.

Kaley posted a cute #tbt photo on her Instagram yesterday canoodling on the beach with Karl with the caption “We absolutely mastered the ways of the #selfiestick.”

Kaley also posted a picture with Karl on the shooting range where, instead of a kiss, Karl put his tongue on her forehead. For me, this is so much yes – but I love to shoot guns and adore men with that offbeat sense of humor.

I know Kaley may be a little… impetuous in love (by the way, does anyone know whatever happened with Paul Blackthorne?), but I think she and Karl make a cute couple. I’m also glad she didn’t end up with Sam Hunt, because that means I might still have a crack at him! Oh, and Kaley, if you’re reading this, no relationship-significant tattoos, okay? Instagram photos can be deleted, tattoos cannot.

    she seems to be one of those people who thinks she found the love of her life after 2 weeks together.

  2. Hudson Girl says:

    This write up was almost loving it was so nice. I was so curious I looked to see who wrote it… Who is Corey?! I’m a little oblivious sometimes! Ha!
    Also, I agree, he seems nice/cute.

    • Locke Lamora says:

      I can always spot Corey’s writing because she/he isn’t as snarky as the rest. I kinda prefer the snark, to be honest.

  3. Ivy says:

    That “mr KC” in her Insta-post made me think she’s onto another rushed wedding but they have the same initials, phew… Maybe it’ll work this time, Kaley!

  4. Nancy says:

    She is definitely addicted to love and ig.

    • Kitten says:

      She’s insufferable.
      I can’t wait till she endures YET more public humiliation after this relationship shits the bed like all her other annoyingly public relationships.

      Whoa where did that come from? Lol

      I just really dislike her.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        That little topknot she loves isn’t doing what she thinks it is, either.

      • Kitten says:

        The topknot, the smirk, the public displays of affection on IG..barf.

      • tegteg says:

        LOOK LOOK EVERYBODY, I’M HAPPPPPPPY!!! I’M SO HAPPY. LOOK HOW HAPPY AND DESIRABLE I AM.

        -Kaley

      • Locke Lamora says:

        I hate this kinda social media PDA, but other than that, I really like Kaley. She’s nice, funny, and an animal lover and seems much less pretentious than the usual starlet. I also don’t mind BBT. Compared to 2 Broke Girls or 2 and a half men it’s decent.

      • Erinn says:

        I can’t stand her either. I never have liked her. Partially stemming from the eyebrow trauma she has had over the years – I am so distracted by bad eyebrows – and really cemented by the constant smirking.

        She just doesn’t seem like that great of a person either. REALLY thirsty, super contrived, and incredibly lucky to have landed the gig she did.

        The smirking is what drives me the most nuts. She always looks so snotty and so condescending.

      • TreadStyle says:

        Kitten, I totally agree. Just can’t stand her.

      • Hahaha, Kitten. Agree. I’ll sit next to you on the cynical bitch bench.

      • Tonka says:

        Me too. I don’t know what it is exactly because she seems harmless, but I find her so annoying. The eyebrows don’t help.

  5. lucy2 says:

    They sound like a good match, but you’d think after her last two super public relationships blew up, she’d be a little more private for a change.

    • Esmom says:

      You’d think. My first thought was “Oh honey, no.” But you’re right, they do seem like a good match. Maybe she thinks she is dialing it back by not opting for a tattoo. Lol.

    • mom2two says:

      This. I wish her and Karl all the best, I hope it works out for them. But yes, you would think she’d keep this a little more quiet. She and Johnny Galecki managed to keep their relationship mostly quiet.

      • Kitten says:

        I feel like that was all Johnny, though. That’s probably one of the reasons why the relationship failed. Kaley doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase “private relationship”.

      • lucy2 says:

        I think Johnny is a private guy, but that relationship also happened before she really got a taste of fame, and before social media was as prevalent.

    • Wren says:

      They do seem like a good match. And as horsepeople they’ll never run out of things to talk about.

  6. Hejhej says:

    That’s a bit funny considering her instagram name..

  7. Alix says:

    Step away from the tweezers, Kaley…

  8. Nancy says:

    @Kitten How do you really feel? Lol. I thought you liked her…at least she’s an animal lover so she gets some points. She just doesn’t have that let’s be discreet and not humiliate myself again thing down just yet…closing in…

    • Kitten says:

      No I can’t stand her and I hate that show she was on.
      Boo.
      I’m cranky πŸ˜’

      • Anon33 says:

        I hate that show so damn hard. Every basic person in the world would say to me “oh but you’re kind of nerdy, you should like this show!”

        No. No no no. That show is bullshit and makes fun of nerds. Real nerds/whatever you want to call them DO NOT ACT LIKE THISE FOOLS. And no man over the age of 25 drinks out of a juice box. Even if they’re “nerds,” They drink beer!!!!!

        HATE.

      • vauvert says:

        Funny, I liked the show (stopped watching last season), but still dislike her intensely – I was quite indifferent before she opened her mouth and spoke about how she was not a feminist last year because she liked to cook her husband dinner. That dislike intensified this year when she declared (last month??) that she “bleeds feminism”. I got some pretty negative reactions at the time when I called her stupid – the sort of “if you criticize her, you’re no feminist yourself” which made me chuckle because apparently, in order to be a card carrying feminist you are never allowed to say anything negative about another woman. I missed that memo, obviously.

        As an aside, she makes me think more and more of JenA. Cute blond strikes it rich and super successful with the role of a lifetime on a TV series where she is basically playing herself, has a limited repertoire and comes across as quite dim in interviews, while her fashion choices are quite humdrum, sometimes downright unflattering. All Kaley needs is to start advertising some beauty product and she is JenA 2.0. Am I the only one seeing a similarity here??

      • Kitten says:

        @ Anon- totally. I heart nerds. Nerds are my people. The characters on that show were not real nerds.

        @vauvert- I don’t remember that thread but that sounds like something that would happen here. Yeah she’s just very irritating.

      • Erinn says:

        Lol – anon – I caught my 26 year old husband with a juice box the other day. He was just like “THEY WERE ON SALE!”.

        I hate this show SO MUCH too. I am a nerd. I work with many male nerds. This is in no way a portrayal of them.

        And you want to know HOW nerdy my guys are? They drunkenly sat around a chalk board writing out PHP code off the top of their head at the last house party as if it was some kind of super intense rap battle. And they’re still not anywhere near as lame as the BBT.

        The IT Crowd – that’s a much more reasonable show about nerds. BBT is the tv show equivalent of a 14 year old girl wearing fake glasses and posting on IG like “#nerdy #suchanerd #bazinga”. But it’s a Chuck Lorre show, so I guess it’s to be expected.

        I hated on her for those comments to vauvert. She’s a moron. I hate that some people hold the idea that women can’t criticize others and be a feminist at the same time. There’s a difference between generalizing and holding double standards and constructional criticism.

      • SloaneY says:

        To say that nerds don’t act like the people on that show…..?? Do you know any really honest to goodness nerds?Not hipsters pretending they’re nerds. True nerds. Nerds come in all shapes and sizes, and yes, some of them do act like these people. My BIL is basically a taller version of Leonard. I know people that are almost carbon copies of every character on that show.

      • Kitten says:

        @ Sloane- I think Erinn saying that her husband and friends were writing code at a house party is pretty solid proof that she knows true nerds.

        My friends are all in their late thirties and fourties so sufficed to say, being a “hipster” isn’t really an option for us, even if we wanted to be. My closest friends are mostly scientists, engineers, and programmers. They’re multi-faceted, cultured people with diverse interests. They’re also total nerds. BBT is a show that perpetuates dumb stereotypes. It’s lazy writing and one-dimensional characters, full-stop. If your husband just happens to be a “carbon copy” of Leonard, surely that’s just a coincidence, because nobody on that show seems like a real person to me.

      • SloaneY says:

        While it may be exaggerated (it is a tv show), it is not without truth. Obviously a lot of nerds are multifaceted. That’s why I said they come in all shapes and sizes. But to completely dismiss the characterizations as completely not true is disengenous, I think. drunkenly writing code at a house party is a likely storyline on the show. You guys have your “omg nerds aren’t anything like that” opinion, and I have a “I know people exactly like that” opinion. Both are valid.

  9. grabbyhands says:

    So basically,-lather, rinse, repeat.

    Hopefully she’ll be smart enough to stay away from the ink, this time.

  10. HeyThere! says:

    Girlfriend is ready for her happy ending! I don’t blame her. When relationships work, they are so great and fun! I hope she gets her happily ever after.

  11. Crumpet says:

    There is nothing sexier than a man on horseback (who can actually ride). Just sayin’.

    • Wren says:

      Yup. One reason I love watching LoTR, VM can actually ride. Very rare for an actor, and as a rider I can usually spot right away when they just stuck some poor dude on a horse and told him to look badass.

      • Crumpet says:

        The Man From Snowy River is one of my favorites solely for that reason. Also Silverado, because damn, Kevin Costner can ride.

  12. Locke Lamora says:

    I find the term “coming from a good stock” really horrible. Besides, guys who “come from a good stock” are usually assholes.

    • Erinn says:

      This. THIS.

      I find it so dated… but you’re right. Often the “good stock” or “good breeding” (because humans are totally dogs or horses, right?) are people who came from rich families and coast off the success of their parents or grandparents.

      Yeah great, you had a rich father – and you’ve grown up to be an entitled brat who expects everything for nothing.

      Not always the case, but it’s always been a red flag word for me. But then again, I married a guy who’s family has no ‘classy’ accomplishments, but have never been adverse to hard work. And he’s not a fancy ‘equestrian’ – he’s a plumber. And sweet as goddamn pie.

      You want to find a good match? You find someone who knows what REAL work is (and that doesn’t have to mean a trade/working class job), and who doesn’t have a background that has allowed them to coast on the accomplishments of others. If you want to marry for privilege or money alone, go ahead – that’s what some people genuinely want. But I can’t say that’s ever been one of my priorities.

  13. Murphy says:

    Someone needs to make one of those crazy girl memes about Kaley.

  14. Loo says:

    KC needs to fail it back a bit.

  15. Bohemianmartini says:

    I’m happy for her and I know I’m beating a dead horse but:

    Those have to be the worst brows on primetime television.

  16. Lbliss says:

    He’s cute! It takes a lot of money to be a professional horse person. Buying horses overseas, competing overseas, buying saddles overseas. Buying custom everything. Jealous!

  17. RamblingRose says:

    I have nothing against Kaley Cuoco, but am I the only one who looks at her and thinks, that’s a hard 30?

    • original kay says:

      I looked at him and thought “that’s a hard 25”. I guessed mid forties, but what do I know?
