Actress Kaley Cuoco, 29, and tennis player Ryan Sweeting, 28, are getting divorced. The couple have been married for 21 months. They shared the news via a statement from Cuoco's rep to People magazine. "Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting have mutually decided to end their marriage, They ask for privacy at this time. No further statement will be issued regarding this matter."
According to Us Weekly, Cuoco had already stripped Sweeting's presence from her social media accounts before announcing their split. Sweeting had done the same, and he also disabled his Facebook page. Us also noted that, "The pair last attended an event together on September 10."
Sweeting and Cuoco were constantly plagued by split rumors throughout their relationship, perhaps due to the whirlwind nature of their courtship and marriage. They got engaged three months after they started dating, and tied the knot at a lavish fire-and-ice-themed wedding on December 31, 2013. Still, Cuoco said that the ever-present divorce rumors made their union stronger.
"I'm so proud of his passion and his inner strength to fight back, but most of all I am proud to be his wife — so all of you who take it upon yourselves to trash our marriage, daily workings of our relationship and everything in between, go ahead and keep doing it, cause it only makes us stronger," she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram photo caption, which People transcribed at the time.
The summer of celebrity splits continues into the fall, it seems. (People)
