The only thing worse than your current boyfriend and ex-boyfriend not getting along is them actually liking each other, right?

That’s what happened when Kaley Cuoco’s real-life beau, Karl Cook, visited “The Big Bang Theory” set to spend some time with the cast, including her ex and TV husband, Johnny Galecki.

First, Cuoco shared a snap of herself giving Cook a big kiss while cuddling on Sheldon and Leonard’s couch.

“Can you tell I ❤️when this guy comes to visit me at work?!” she captioned the photo.

Then, things took a turn for the awkward when Cook posed for a photo with Galecki, whom Cuoco previously dated for two years, but now considers one of her best friends.

In the photo, the boyfriends of Cuoco’s past and present hold each other and pucker up on the same couch, much to the actress’ feigned displeasure.

“Ummmmmm then this happened. @sanctionedjohnnygalecki get off my man!,” she captioned the Instagram, adding in some crying-with-laughter and monkey-see-no-evil emojis for good measure.

Cuoco and Galecki dated from 2008 to 2010, but somehow managed to keep their personal lives private while their characters went on to marry one another on CBS’ long-running sitcom. After the split, the two remained good friends, even prompting some to believe they’d reconciled, but Cuoco quickly shot those rumors down.

The actress began dating Cook, a 26-year-old professional equestrian, in April, and, hey, if her “Big Bang” family approves, so do we.
