Kaley Cuoco, the American actress best known for playing the role of Penny in The Big Bang Theory, has recently gotten back up on her horse, and in quite a literal sense. Despite her recent divorce from now ex-husband Ryan Sweeting, Kaley Cuoco has a new beau, equestrian Karl Cook, who hails from Golden State. According to Daily Mail, Kaley Cuoco sported a top that read “Someone in California Loves Me.”

The choice of clothing is rather fitting considering that Cuoco had her horseback riding session in Los Angeles, and Karl Cook is a Californian local. Kaley was spotted with her bright blonde hair slicked back into a low and sensible ponytail, which fit perfectly beneath her black helmet. She wore a helmet that was equipped with a wide visor to protect her vision, along with a pair of dark blue trousers, trainers, and gloves. She clutched the reins as she gave her full attention to the moment, and it was clear to anyone watching that Kaley Cuoco is someone who is completely at ease while on horseback.

Kaley eventually took a snack break, and she made use of that time to post a video on her Instagram account of herself sharing a batch of strawberries with one of the horses in her herd named Bella. In the Instagram video she posted, she was sharing her strawberry with Bella after the horse had neighed at her. Camera in hand, she asked the horse if she wanted another one, before splitting and sharing a strawberry with the horse. Kaley laughed that the horse does indeed love strawberries.

Her new love and her new life are all thanks to the success of her recent divorce from Ryan Sweeting. According to Cosmopolitan, Kaley Cuoco recently kept $98 million from her successful divorce from Ryan Sweeting as a result from her $1.3 million per episode deal.

Despite the fact that Kaley and Ryan were married after the signing of Kaley’s 72-episode contract, Sweeting will not see one bit of the money, and it’s all thanks to the carefully worded and binding prenuptial agreement that was in place between the two. Sweeting reportedly gets a lump sum of $225,000 in their divorce settlement. Kaley has also agreed to foot the $266,00 bill for his two personal trainers and “whatever cash and gift certificates in his possession.” Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting split up in September 2015 after less than two years of marriage.

But things haven’t been entirely happy for Kaley Cuoco lately, as she revealed on her Instagram account how upset she is about the killing of Harambe, the 17-year-old gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. The zoo’s emergency response team shot Harambe after a four-year-old child made his way through the security barrier and fell into the gorilla’s enclosure. Fox News reports that the Big Bang Theory star called the killing “senseless” and opined that the only good to come out of the situation was that Harambe the gorilla is now no longer living in captivity.

But in happier news, and completely apart from finding her new beau, Kaley Cuoco has recently revealed her ultimate woman crush. According to Maxim, Kaley Cuoco admitted to late night host Seth Myers that she has a giant crush on Jennifer Aniston and that she is a self-confessed obsessed fan.

Kaley Cuoco recently encountered Jennifer Aniston at the James Burrows tribute, due to the fact that Burrows was the person responsible for the early episodes of Friends and The Big Bang Theory, setting the stage for the encounter between the two. Kaley Cuoco spoke about the giddy moment when she finally met Jennifer Aniston.

“She turns around and she literally goes like this: ‘Kaley!’ It was like the skies opened up, and she smelled like a garden. It was everything I dreamed it would be.”

Kaley was giddy as she recalled the entire encounter to Seth Myers. She also remembered discussing with her sister, Briana, about how and when she would go and introduce herself to Aniston. The two shows’ worlds collided as the cast of Friends and The Big Bang Theory gathered around to take a group shot together, which Kaley later proudly posted on Instagram.
