Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki reveals he secretly got married and had a baby

Big Bang Theory fans are flooding to social media to congratulate Johnny Galecki on the news of his marriage and second child.

Best known for his role as Leonard on the hit CBS show, the role saw Galecki become one of the highest paid television actors in the world, so it’s no surprise he lived in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles.

However, just before the coronavirus pandemic, the 48-year-old decided to move to Nashville and start a whole new life for himself.

In an interview with Architectural Digest, the piece says the actor got married to Morgan Galecki and the pair also share a child – a daughter named Oona Evelena – with Morgan being pregnant at the time of the shoot.

And the dad also shared photographs from the shoot of himself, his partner and one of his children to Instagram – although, keeping his kid’s face from view.

The post reads: “Thank you to @archdigest @tycole @colson__horton and @rachwall_ for the lovely profile on the beautiful backdrop of our lives as they stand and smile today.

“We will place it in our family time capsule and cherish it for many, many years.

“Also, thank you dearly and deeply to my sisters @pierceandward Let’s always remain outside of the box. XO.”

Fans of the star have since flooded to his post to congratulate him, with many not having realised he had got married and had another child.

One Instagram user said: “Congrats Johnny! So happy for you! Love you.”

“Beautiful family, beautiful house. Congratulations Johnny,” another added.

A third commented: “Absolutely beautiful family and home. So happy for you guys!”

And a fourth wrote: “Love this update from you. You don’t post that often,, so to see this is amazing! So happy for you that you found love and i love your home! It’s beautiful.”

Galecki also shares a four-year-old son with ex-girlfriend Alaina Meyer, who he was with for two years.

The actor announced the arrival of his son in a joint statement with Meyer, which read: “We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we will soon be welcoming a little one into this crazy and wonderful world.

“We ask that you please respect our privacy during this celebratory time for us and our families.

“There truly is love out there for all. We hope ours is the ember of yours, as we feel yours is the ember of ours.”

UNILAD has contacted Galecki’s representatives for comment.
