Cook posted a video on his Instagram account Thursday of a tearful Cuoco flashing a diamond ring on her finger.
Cuoco was shouting “we’re engaged” before officially accepting Cook’s proposal with a loud “Yes.” Thursday also happened to be Cuoco’s 32nd birthday.

Cook is a professional equestrian and the son of Intuit co-founder Scott Cook. Cuoco has starred as Penny on The Big Bang Theory since the sitcom’s debut in 2007.
The couple started dating in spring 2016 and made their first public appearance as a couple in September that same year on the red carpet at the Longines Masters Los Angeles Gala in Long Beach, Calif.
Cuoco split from her husband Ryan Sweeting in 2015, filing for divorce after 21 months of marriage. The proceedings were finalized in May 2016.
