Kaley Cuoco is trying to keep her good spirits for the sake of her seven-month-old daughter Matilda. This coming weekend will be her first experience of Halloween, and she even chose the perfect pumpkin to carve. The “Minnie Mouse lover” has helped to divert her mother’s attention from her recent losses with her cute smile. However, the losses are stacking up against the Big Bang Theory actress, making it hard for her to feel festive.

Kaley Cuoco has had to cope with several losses this year, starting with her pet Chihuahua named Dump Truck. Six months later, the equestrian got the biggest blow when her beloved horse, Bella, passed away, too. Now, another wave of grief washes over her as she bids farewell to a dear friend and fellow sitcom actor.

Equestrian Kaley Cuoco’s heartfelt tribute to Matthew Perry

For the major part of the last decade, the American sitcom ‘Friends’ was the epitome of pop culture and a source of laughter for millions of viewers around the world. Even after 19 years since the show ended, Phoebe, Monica, Rachel, Ross, Joey, and Chandler continue to hold a special place in the hearts of fans. Matthew Perry, the actor who played Chandler Bing, was found dead in a hot tub on October 28.

As soon as the news broke on the internet and social media, fans of the show went frantic with grief. Among those fans was Kaley Cuoco, who put up an Instagram story to express her sadness. She captioned the story, “Thank you for the laugh Matt Perry. You were a joy to watch for so many years and a constant lesson in comedic timing. We loved you!! So sad to hear this.”

To remember him fondly, the equestrian lover shared a clip from Entertainment Tonight where the deceased actor explained the “magic” of ‘Friends’. He said, “I knew it was going to be the happiest time of my life and it was”. During a podcast appearance with Tom Power, Matthew Perry said, “I would like to be remembered as somebody who lived well, loved well, was a seeker”. Kaley Cuoco paid heed to the actor’s wishes and did just that. However, she was not alone in honoring the actor’s memory.
