London: `The Big Bang Theory` star Johnny Galecki has finally opened up about his secret relationship with co-star Kaley Cuoco, insisting his ex-girlfriend is a "dear friend" who will always be a part of his life.
The on-screen couple took their relationship to the next level by dating for two years while working on the show, and they managed to keep their romance out of the public eye until after their split, reported Contactmusic.
Cuoco made the shocking admission about the secret love affair in 2010, and Galecki has now spoken out about his time with the actress and why they decided to keep it a secret for so long.
"We`re dear friends, still. Kaley`s not just an ex, she`s a part of my life... I just don`t like to speak about it. And not because I`m trying to be enigmatic; I just worry that it will conflict with people`s acceptance of our characters Leonard and Penny. I get the curiosity, but I don`t want to distract from the story," he said.
While the pair still plays a couple on TV, both actors have found love again with new partners. Galecki is dating actress Kelli Garner and Cuoco is engaged to tennis player Ryan Sweeting.
