"The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco reportedly decided to end her 21-month marriage to tennis player Ryan Sweeting because of his addiction to painkillers.

"Kaley supported Ryan but she said he couldn't make the commitment to get sober. He'd tell her he was working on it and instead go get wasted," a source said.
