Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show in February, Cuoco opened up about the breakdown of her second marriage to professional equestrian Karl Cook and the impact it had on her mental health.
She recalled reaching what she described as the lowest point of her life on the day of the premiere of the second season of The Flight Attendant.
“I was so depressed and so sad I couldn't even breathe. And I was just laying on the floor. I literally thought I was going to die,” she told Barrymore.

Cuoco explained that she had been struggling so much that her team had to help her get ready for the red carpet while she remained on the floor.
“I truly thought, I blew up my life, my life is over. I'm never getting married again, I'm never going to have kids. This is it,” she said.

However, her outlook changed just weeks later when she met Pelphrey.
“And I met Tom three weeks later. I had prayed and I felt like my soul died,” she recalled.
Cuoco admitted that, at the time, she genuinely believed she would never marry again, but meeting Pelphrey changed everything.
“When I told a magazine at the time, 'I'm never getting married again' I believed that,” she said. “But then I met Tom.”

The actress also reflected on how much time and forgiveness it took to move forward from that difficult period, explaining that she had become a different person as a result of the experience.
Cuoco is best known for playing Penny in The Big Bang Theory and for her leading role in The Flight Attendant. Pelphrey is known for his performances in series including Ozark and Love & Death.
Now celebrating the arrival of their second daughter, the couple are beginning a new chapter as a family of four.
