Kaley was previously married to Karl Cook, with the couple confirming their separation last September.

"Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions," they said in a joint statement.

"We have both shared so much of our journey publicly so while we would prefer to keep this aspect of our personal life private, we wanted to be forthcoming in our truth together. There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary."

The Big Bang Theory aired on CBS in the US. You can buy the complete boxset now on DVD and Blu-ray.
