“Two’s A Crowd For Quarantined Kaley & Karl!” declared the National Enquirer. The outlet said that the two were “feeling cramped in quarantine,” and it had Cuoco seriously thinking about her future family.
“Kaley is 34 and she knows the dangers of waiting too long to have a child — but she also realizes that once you have a baby, things are a LOT more permanent!” an anonymous insider “close to the couple” revealed to the Enquirer. The source also told the magazine that Cuoco “wants to be sure she can spend the rest of her life with Karl,” and that she “fears having a kid now may be more than they can handle.”
The tabloid then pointed to its previous reporting about how the couple “have been clashing in coronavirus confinement” after they “finally moved in” their home together — the two had been “living separately for two years following their 2018 marriage,” the outlet noted.
“All of their friends seem to have kids or are starting families and they just want to enjoy each other for a while before they turn the dynamic upside down with a baby,” the gossipy friend concluded. “They’re a million miles away from starting a family!” The tabloid, on the other hand, simply declared that the “clashing couple can’t even think about a baby now.”
This rumor is all over the place, and it seems like the tabloid and its source can’t agree on whether or not Cuoco and Cook are even happy or not. First, it says that Cuoco can’t stop thinking about starting a family and that she and her husband have been struggling to stand each other while in lockdown, then the “insider” argues that they just want to enjoy each other right now.
It certainly looks like the tabloid just wants to throw shade at the couple for not following societal expectations of a couple since they didn’t immediately move in together and get pregnant. Yes, the two lived in their own places, but they both chose to do so while they were building their dream home.
While COVID-19 accelerated their plans, looking at their absurdly gorgeous home — seriously, they set up a massive Christmas tree together that puts most holiday decor to shame — it’s hard to argue that they made the wrong choice. To merely say that they stayed apart for two years is misleading at best. The magazine simply left it as, “The pair stayed apart after marrying,” so we don’t have a lot of faith in a rumor that relies on such sketchy tactics.
