Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco 'close to settling divorce' with billionaire heir ex

Kaley Cuoco is said to be close to finalising her divorce from second husband Karl Cook.

The actress - best known for her role as Penny on the The Big Bang Theory - announced her split from her soon-to-be ex-husband shortly after their third wedding anniversary last year.

Karl - who is the son of billionaire Scott Cook - is said to be using Kim Kardashian’s divorce attorney Laura Wasser, as the former couple divide their assets and look to complete their divorce.

According to The Blast, the equestrian, 31, has recently filed documents updating the legal case, which means his divorce from Kaley could be finalised very soon.

Obtained by the American publication, the new legal documents show that the billionaire offspring filed a declaration of disclosure in the couple's divorce - something which normally points towards a case gearing up for a settlement.

The filing includes all current income and expense financial details, including all relevant property involving both parties and asset descriptions.

Karl's lawyer is considered one in the best in the business - having been involved in resolving Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ’s child custody battle and Dr. Dre's complicated break up in the past.

It's believed an ironclad prenuptial agreement was in place before Kaley, 36, and Karl tied the knot back in 2018.

The former couple exchanged vows in San Diego, California, two years after first meeting and falling in love.

Prior to their split, The Flight Attendant star Kaley shocked many when she revealed at one point, she and her then-husband didn't live together.

The star - who is said to be worth $100million thanks to her lucrative Big Bang Theory gig - claimed work commitments was the reason behind their separate living arrangements.

The former couple did eventually cohabit and spent most of lockdown together before celebrating their third anniversary last June.

However, just a few months later, it was all over - with both Kaley and Karl confirming they had split in September 2021.

"Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions," a joint statement from the pair read at the time.

"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 statement concluded: "We have made this decision together through an immense amount of respect and consideration for one another and request that you do the same in understanding that we will not be sharing any additional details or commenting further."

Prior to finding love with Karl, Kaley was married to Ryan Sweeting for three years.
