Kaley Cuoco, 30, has started dating 45-year-old ‘Arrow’ star Paul Blackthorne

I don’t watch Arrow, so I have no idea who Paul Blackthorne is, but now that I’m looking at photos of him… he’s pretty hot. He’s my type of guy – sort of rumpled and furry and never boyish. He’s 46 years old and in some of these photos, he’s giving me Jonny Lee Miller vibes, which I REALLY ENJOY (I’m a huge JLM fan-girl). Anyway, this dude may be Kaley Cuoco’s new boyfriend. Kaley split with Ryan Sweeting in September, and their divorce is far from finalized. But she’s getting back out there. Is this smart?

Well, she did get engaged just three months after meeting her last beau. When it comes to love, this star moves at the speed of light, with a new report surfacing that Kaley Cuoco has already moved on after her sudden split from husband Ryan Sweeting. Us Weekly reports that the 30-year-old Big Bang Theory star is dating again with things heating up between her and Paul Blackthorne. The 46-year-old Arrow star is allegedly helping the star smile again after she filed for divorce in September from her 28-year-old husband, whom she was married to for 21 months.

A source told Us Weekly: ‘It’s new, but she is really excited about it. Kaley’s doing great post-divorce.’

The American actress and the older British star actually have an important thing in common – a love of animals. Kaley is a very vocal campaigner against breed specific laws, namely those putting restrictions on pitt bulls, and dog fighting, while Paul runs a charity for wild elephants, selling T-shirts Poach Eggs, Not Elephants. Kaley has been a supporter of Paul’s work for some time posing up in one of his money-raising tees in April and again last month, around the same time they are rumoured to have started dating.

This situation reminds me a bit of Zooey Deschanel hooking up with her current husband. Like, Zooey was so twee and extra… and then she met a real man, not a boy. And it was like he f—ked the twee out of her. I mean, she’s still twee (she named her child Elsie Otter, for the love of God), but she’s definitely matured a lot. Will something similar happen with Kaley? Will a relationship with a mature 46-year-old actor – who presumably has his own life/career/stuff going on – change Kaley’s “extra” persona? Considering her last relationship involved moving in together after the first date and an engagement after three months, I’m hoping that Kaley has learned (the hard way) to be a little more reticent about love.

    I love him…. Definitely my type also.

  2. Breakfast Margaritas says:

    She’s pretty but looks 37-38 years old …or more

    • Annie says:

      I was just going to say that. She looks much older than 30.

      • funcakes says:

        It’s Hollywood where every one shave a couple of years off. Unlike Catherine Zeta who went somewhat over board.
        I’ll say shes a Beyonce 30.

      • Arlene says:

        Catherine Zeta Jones IS the age she says, it’s not even remotely hard to find that out.

      • LAK says:

        Funcakes: it’s impossible for British stars to shave years off their ages because we have a public registry of births. Births have to be registered within 42days. and all family members are connected. it’s the law.

        This means you can look up CZJ’s actual age if you want.

        Further, if you are unsure of her age, then look up her mother. that should settle it since the mother and all subsequent children will have been registered, including CZJ.

        CZJ has always looked older than her age, even when she was a teen, but her birth records match as do her mother’s records.

      It looks like sun damage to me. I have an equestrian friend whose skin is similarly rough from the everyday exposure.

  3. Jh says:

    Hope she doesn’t marry him next week :/

    • word says:

      She moves fast so who knows. Let’s hope she’s learned her lesson. Is her divorce even finalized yet?

    • V4Real says:

      LOL…
      I think I liked Kaley better before the Henry Cavill PR stunt. She was one of those actresses that wasn’t really on anyone’s radar. If you wanted to know anything about her you had to Google her. She had that mystery about her because she wasn’t thrown in your face much. Now she is constantly in the news (celebrity news).

      He sort of reminds me of Billy Bob Thorton. Not in a bad way. I’m one of the few who finds BB attractive.

    • lucy2 says:

      You’d think after the speedy engagement/marriage fell apart so spectacularly, she’d take it a bit slower. Probably not though.

      • Esmom says:

        It sounds like she did wait a couple months after her split with her husband to start dating, maybe that’s progress for her?

      • AmyB says:

        Right?? I agree. Her divorce filing was a couple months ago and is not even finalized. Is it that hard to just be alone for a bit??

    • JenniferJustice says:

      Exactly! Man, these people dive right in don’t they. You’d think after a divorce, maybe, just maybe you should take some time to get okay with yourself being alone and learn what you really need from a partner v. what your young self thinks it wants. But nope! Onward, march!

  4. Tiffany says:

    I don’t believe that Kaley has ever been single and if so, not for long.

  5. Nancy says:

    Some people you just don’t like for no particular reason and man is she ever one of them. It’s as though she needs a man to validate herself, but certainly isn’t having much success. She has more stories planted than a farmer plants corn. Ten maybe even five years from now, she will be on Oprah’s Where Are They Now? Lucky for her there are residuals and she will have rerun money from that tv show.

  6. Miss M says:

    Well, as long as she doesn’t get a tattoo related to Paul Blackthorne or marry him tomorrow, she will be fine!

    Honestly, I have dated a guy in his 40’s. Don’t assume that because a man is in his 40’s that he is mature, just saying…

  7. A says:

    She looks so much older than 30!
    could it be actual heartache for losing sweet-kfed made her age prematurely?
    do we have a queen-B situation?

  8. Kaye says:

    She may be a perfectly nice person, but every time I see a picture of her I want to smack that smirk off her face.

  9. InvaderTak says:

    A salt and pepper man. I would.

  10. nessaB says:

    oh my god, she is dating Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden? never thought I’d be jealous of Caley.

  11. swack says:

    If you like him rumpled then his character on Arrow is a rumpled detective that cleans up once in a while. I love Arrow – but it’s not for everyone. The first two seasons are on Netflix, they are into season 3 right now (on winter break until Jan).

  12. MC2 says:

    “And it was like he f—ked the twee out of her” oh my goodness! that is gold!

  13. tacos and tv says:

    “He f**ked the twee out of her”! Best line ever. Hahahahaha. And I totally agree. It’s so funny when people are all like “look at me, look at me, look what I can do!” and then they get with someone who just rocks their socks and it’s all “don’t look at me, just leave me alone so I can be with this love God/Godess.” hahahaha it goes both ways, for me and women.

  14. Pandy says:

    Chica is looking a bit older this year – I’m blaming stress over her marriage. This guy is good looking! Git it girl!!! I think he’d be a different ending for her as he has his own career and $$ (unlike her K-Fed).

  15. thaisajs says:

    He’s only 45? Shut up. I pegged him to be in his 50s.

  16. Tough Cookie says:

    Took me a minute to place him….he played Brooke Shields’ husband in a short-lived tv series called “Lipstick Jungle.” It was one of my guilty pleasures.

  17. hmmm says:

    AAAAAw. What happened to his hair? I love him to bits, a long, very tall, amiable drink of Brit. He was so fabulous in “The Dresden Files.” Love, forever.

  18. kimbers says:

    Wondered why she was with the tennis boy at all….did you get a glance at a bf before who looked like a biker? Not surprised by the pick, but hope it’s not a fakeship.

  19. Skye says:

    He’s hot.

  20. yeah he looks like he will definitely f—-k the TWEE outta of her…. forreals
