Karl Cook, the former husband of Kaley Cuoco, has recently proposed to his girlfriend, Mackenzie Drazan. Cook shared a selfie on Monday, June 19, featuring his fiancée proudly displaying her engagement ring. In his caption, Cook expressed his profound happiness and love for Drazan, acknowledging the commitment they have chosen to embark upon together.
Cuoco and Cook's engagement announcement comes one year after their divorce was finalized in June 2022. The couple had been married for four years. Cuoco, who had previously split from her first husband in September 2015, expressed her happiness and gratitude for finding someone like Cook in September 2017.
Later that year, Cook surprised the Flight Attendant actress for her 32nd birthday by proposing to her, and she happily accepted. “We’re engaged,” Cuoco shared in a heartfelt Instagram video, expressing her overwhelming emotions. She captioned the post, “Still crying every part of this night has been perfection just like you @mrtankcook. I love you forever!”
Karl Cook and Kaley Cuoco exchanged vows in July 2018, surrounded by their loved ones, which included Cuoco's co-stars from The Big Bang Theory, Mayim Bialik, Wil Wheaton, and Johnny Galecki.
Cuoco and Cook made the decision to separate after three years of marriage, following their move-in together. In a joint statement to Us in September 2021, they expressed their deep love and respect for each other but acknowledged that their paths had taken them in different directions. While they preferred to keep their personal lives private, they wanted to be honest about their truth together, emphasizing that there was no anger or animosity between them.
Following their announcement, Cuoco filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. Court documents obtained by Us revealed that the couple had a solid prenuptial agreement in place to protect Cuoco's assets, including earnings and accumulations from before, during, and after their marriage.

In 2022, both Cuoco and Cook found new love. Cuoco started dating Tom Pelphrey in May, while Cook shared his first Instagram picture with Drazan in September.
Cuoco, known for her role in The Big Bang Theory, and the actor from Ozark, 40, made the exciting announcement of their first child's arrival in October 2022. Their daughter, Matilda, was born on March 30. Following the joyous occasion, a trusted source revealed that the couple is not rushing to tie the knot.
According to the insider, their commitment to each other and their family is the priority for now. Kaley, who has been married before, has no desire to walk down the aisle again. However, Tom's unwavering kindness and support have led friends to speculate that an engagement and a small wedding could be in their future, although not in the immediate future.
