The cast of The Big Bang Theory differs quite a lot from the geeky characters that they play on the show. As a matter of fact, this is a group of extremely bright and wealthy individuals who have become some of the most successful performers in the history of TV.
So of course, they have dated some pretty attractive people over the last decade or so. So it only stands to reason that we would compile a pretty comprehensive list to see which nerds on the show actually scored a beautiful girl in real life and which stars in the show actually dated in real life.
Awkward Needs Getting Lucky
For once, a group of socially awkward nerds were dating the most eligible girls on television and not getting rejected. During the 10 seasons of the sitcom, many relationships, both on the screen and off, developed. It was a really interesting paradox when you consider the types of characters these talented actors were playing.
The most famous on-screen relationship was between Leonard, an experimental physicist, and Penny, a stunning aspiring actress who lives next door. Penny, who previously only dated tall and muscular men, ends up falling for Leonard, and the two date on and off until getting married. A true turn of events.
Off-Screen/On-Screen
The show has become such a part of fans’ lives, that they may forget at times that the relationships are only part of the show and that the stars have real-life relationships at home. We only really see this geeky gang together at that iconic apartment, so why would we assume that they actually have real lives when the cameras stop rolling?
Jokes aside, it is true - Bernadette and Howard are not actually married with an adorable baby and Sheldon and Amy aren’t going to get married. But, don’t be so disappointed- the stars also have real girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and wives that are pretty darn cute, so let’s give them a chance here, what do you say?
Mayim Bialik and Michael Stone
Mayim Bialik plays the part of Amy Farrah Fowler, who is a neurobiologist, and Sheldon Cooper’s love interest over the course of the show. The two meet on an online dating site after Raj Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz see her and think that she will be a good match for Sheldon.
In real life, Mayim Bialik was married to Michael Stone, with the latter converting to Judaism from Mormonism in the name of love. The couple had a Victorian-themed wedding, albeit with traditional Jewish customs. The pair had two children together before divorcing in 2013. The two boys still have two loving parents though.
Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak
Jim Parsons, known for his role as Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, ended up marrying his longtime boyfriend Todd Spiewak. After 15 years together, Parsons decided to legalize their relationship, even though he initially didn't consider marriage significant. They tied the knot in May 2017 at New York City's Rainbow Room.
Parsons cherished their bond, comparing it to a divine connection. The wedding took place on the 65th floor of Rockefeller Center and was attended by close friends, family, and fellow cast members from the show. It was a joyous celebration for the couple and their loved ones.
