Cuoco and Cavill returned to earth in July 2013. On New Year's Eve of that same year, Cuoco married tennis player Ryan Sweeting.
"I admit it happened fast, but that's who I am," she told Cosmo in 2014 of tying the knot after barely five months together. "When we met, I knew he was the one."
He might have been, but the guy he turned into was not, and Cuoco announced in September 2015 that they were divorcing.
"I married someone the first time who completely changed," she reflected to Cosmo in 2018. "The person I ended up with was not the person I originally met. And that wasn't my fault—that was his."
Cuoco camouflaged the "12-31" commemorative wedding date tattoo on her back with a larger illustration of a moth. "The significance is, it was big enough to cover the numbers," she quipped to Ellen DeGeneres.
