In a recent appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live', actress Kaley Cuoco shared disappointing news about the lack of communication between the former 'Big Bang Theory' cast members. Cuoco revealed that the group no longer has an active group chat, though she does still regularly talk to her on-screen love interest Johnny Galecki.

Why it matters

The 'Big Bang Theory' was one of the most popular sitcoms of the 2000s, running for 12 seasons. Fans have long been interested in the off-screen relationships between the cast members, so Cuoco's admission that they no longer stay in close contact is notable.

The details

When host Andy Cohen asked Cuoco if the 'Big Bang Theory' cast has a group chat, she bluntly replied 'No.' However, Cuoco did say that she and Galecki, who played her on-screen boyfriend Leonard, do still talk 'all the time.' The two actors famously dated in real life for two years while filming the show, though they ultimately broke up due to Galecki's 'strict policies of privacy.'

  • Cuoco's comments were made during a recent appearance on the February 5, 2026 episode of 'Watch What Happens Live.'

The takeaway
