New details are emerging of what doomed Kaley Cuoco's marriage to her tennis pro husband, Ryan Sweeting.
The Big Bang Theory star filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" just two years after her big wedding, according to reports.
Kaley Cuoco was gushing about her marriage to Ryan Sweeting when appearing on Watch What Happens Live on September 20, but behind the scenes the 29-year-old actress was already planning to split from the 28-year-old tennis pro, Us Weekly claimed.

Ryan was actually battling injury from the moment he met The Big Bang Theory star in July 2013, and he reportedly began abusing the pain killers he was given, Us Weekly reports. The actress knew of the issue when she met her man, according to the mag, but decided to stand by him.
In their 21 months of marriage, the tennis player has allegedly been unable to kick the habit, and that’s what led his wife to file for divorce.
“She supported him,” the insider explains. “But she said he couldn’t make the commitment to get sober.”
It was added that she is 'devastated' their marriage has crumbled and has 'sworn off dating'.
The weekly explained Ryan was sober when they married in December 2013 after only six months of dating.The athlete - who once ranked number 64 in the world - had a history of trouble with pills.
The 28-year-old was arrested for DUI and possession of a drug with intent to sell in 2006, and continued to have a problem with alcohol during his marriage to Kaley, the source claims. “He’d tell her he was working on it, and instead go get wasted,” Us Weekly adds.
In the end, Kaley reportedly felt she had “no choice” but to pull the plug on the marriage and file for divorce.
Interestingly, just five months before the break up announcement, Kaley and Ryan were plagued by split rumors, but Kaley was writing on her social media accounts that they were just fine, even though reports surfaced that the two were having issues.
