Kaley Cuoco puts her best foot forward on the cover of April's Cosmopolitan [1]. Inside the stunning cover, the Big Bang Theory star opens up about her recent split from husband Ryan Sweeting, her rumored romance with costar [2] (and former fling) Johnny Galecki, and even the problematic comments she made about feminism last year. In case you forgot, Kaley came under fire after an interview in Redbook [3] in which she was asked if she identified as a feminist and replied:
"Is it bad if I say no? It's not really something I think about. Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around. . . . I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality. I cook for Ryan five nights a week: It makes me feel like a housewife; I love that. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men. I'm so in control of my work that I like coming home and serving him. My mom was like that, so I think it kind of rubbed off."
After the backlash, Kaley took to social media to explain how the comments were taken out of context, saying, "I'm completely blessed and grateful that strong women have paved the way for my success along with many others. I apologize if anyone was offended. Anyone that truly knows me, knows my heart and knows what I meant."

![On her words being misconstrued when an interviewer asked if she was a feminist: "Of course I'm a f*cking feminist. Look at me. I bleed feminism. I get equal pay to my male costars on a big show, I have my own home, I'm as independent as you could possibly be."
On the end of her marriage to Ryan Sweeting: "[What happened] changes the way I look at marriage, and that makes me sad. It does not change the way that I look at love. I cannot wait to be in love again. I don't feel like I am ready yet . . . which is so different for me. I dive into everything."
On rumors she and Johnny Galecki are back together: "Johnny and I are very close now, but the worst part about that is I don't want stories like that, especially during this divorce, to hurt my ex. We have nods with each other. Johnny and I do this thing like a nod that says, 'I got you. I get it.'"
