Actress Kaley Cuoco has had an emotional run during the 2021 awards season so far. After bursting into tears upon learning she was nominated for her first-ever Golden Globe award, Cuoco once again found herself crying tears of happiness the day before the show.
On Saturday afternoon, Cuoco's husband Karl Cook surprised her by coming back to their shared home earlier than planned. Cuoco shared the happy news with her followers on her Instagram stories.
"Most of you know [Karl Cook] has been away for many weeks and has many weeks of travel so I knew he wouldn't be back to celebrate the globes with me," she wrote in the video's caption. "The event is virtual so I wasn't gonna force him to fly home for it, I knew he had a crazy schedule."
But Cuoco said she opened her front door and was shocked to see Cook standing there.
"He came back!" she said.
In her Instagram story, which has since expired, Cuoco was still visibly emotional. She pointed out a smattering of wet spots on her sweater, and said those were her tears.
Cook is an equestrian rider, so he's frequently traveling to competitions around the world. Cuoco and Cook live in Riverside, California, where they have a large number of animals. Cuoco even recently joked in an interview that they might have an "illegal" amount of dogs.
On Sunday, Cook posted a photo of Cuoco all dressed up in her Golden Globes virtual-red-carpet look.
"DAMN!!!" Cook wrote in the caption. "Why did you decide to marry me! [Kaley Cuoco] you're the most amazing woman ever! Congratulations, here we go golden globes!"
Cuoco is nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy TV series for her leading role in HBO's "The Flight Attendant."
The 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards air on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and the Rainbow Room in New York City.
