off one of the biggest secret
relationships in Tinseltown the stars
who play Penny and Leonard on the hit
CBS sitcom revealed in 2010 that they'd
been dating for around two years but had
split on friendly terms people were
shocked how could they keep it secret
for so long while Leonard and Penny are
still in love and even walked down the
aisle on the Big Bang Theory their
real-life relationship fizzled out off
screen your hope out I don't have any
you're gonna make me look bad let's look
at the real reason for secretive
lovebirds and did their illicit romance
forced into hiding after confessing to
dating her co-star in an interview with
CBS Watch magazine back in 2010 Cuoco
also revealed that she never went
anywhere with Galecki during their
two-year romance for fear of being
photographed together quote this is the
first time I've ever talked about it
ever it was a wonderful relationship but
we never spoke a word about it and never
went anywhere together we were so
protective of ourselves and the show and
didn't want anything to ruin that but
that also made it sad too that's not the
kind of relationship I want I don't want
to be hiding we couldn't do anything it
wasn't as fun as we wanted it to be and
plus Penny and Leonard forever Galecki
opened up about the romance in 2013 and
reveals how he and cuoco were worried
their off-screen romance would distract
from the on again off again relationship
their characters Leonard and Penny had
on the Big Bang Theory
he told CBS watch Magazine close I just
don't like to speak about it and not
because I'm trying to be enigmatic I
just worried that it will conflict with
people's acceptance of Leonard and Penny
I get the curiosity but I don't want to
distract from the story end quote
despite their off-screen relationship
ending their beloved characters Penny
and Leonard ended up getting married in
the first episode of season 9 which
aired in September 2015 and then wet
again in season 10 in 2016 I now
pronounce you husband and wife
and we're another husband who gained
with the apartment line to their friend
the cast of The Big Bang Theory are all
good friends as most of their
behind-the-scenes photos prove all they
seem to do is
around on set all right if you have real
beer in the frigerator i won't leave
that replay it's mine now but despite
their tight-knit friendship with their
co-stars Jim Parsons Kunal Mayer and
Simon Helberg Quatro and Galecki still
chose to lie to their friends about
their blossoming romance and we didn't
tell them for like probably four or five
months which was horrible because we
were like best friends and eventually it
affected their relationship everyone was
always asking and we denied and I denied
and I'm like why am i denying this
person that I love it took a little bit
of a toll on me and I think it did for
him too we knew how to keep it deep
inside and never bring it on that set
ever they even worked during the
aftermath of their breakup without
telling anybody on set that they ended
their relationship said cuoco about the
breakups quotes we broke up before the
holidays and worked that full time we
dodged a huge bullet dodged a wart and
Flo's child star pressures cuoco started
acting as a young child she was only 10
when she appeared in the Denzel

1995 while galaki caught the acting bug

his big break at 14 when he was cast as
Chevy Chase's son rusty in 1989's
National Lampoon's Christmas vacation
rush we're here did nor having dealt
with the pressures of Hollywood longer
than most the two were desperate to keep
their romance away from the prying eyes
of the paparazzi and celebrity gossip
magazines however it was a decision that
ultimately ended their two-year long
romance as cuoco footage quotes when
you're dealing with two professionals
who have been working since they were
both poor and who kept their lives
extremely private we didn't want
anything other than that end quote a
doomed romance
despite their admiration and respect for
one another after their breakup clover
reveals that the couple had actually
agreed on how they would deal with
ending their relationship when they
first began dating
roko told CBS watch quote we knew we
weren't destined to be together we
accepted it and said look if we ever
break up we will be professional I'm so
lucky it was a mutual ending and that we
don't hate each other we've seen that
happen on other shows and quote better
friends and lovers since their breakup
the couple have continued to be close
friends even meeting each other's
partners and goofing around in
interviews where they just always
destined to be
better as friends and as boyfriend and
girlfriend we are going to put on music
and dance in our underwear Galecki told
the few that their professional
relationship still works so well because
they still love and respect each other
