When “The Big Bang Theory” ended, the actor was in a very different mindset.

He had no intention of quitting acting and was looking forward to his next gig.

The actor has shifted his focus to working behind the camera, in addition to moving out of Hollywood.

After reprising his role in two episodes of the spinoff, Galecki was in talks to play David again.

“I think I need a little bit of space from another series regular gig.”

Galecki landed a guest role in “The Conners” until he was written off in season 5.

“I’ll certainly be acting.”

A lot has changed since then.

“He loved being on the show.

But real life tends to take priority.”

It sounds like Galecki had a full plate, and acting was simply no longer his focus anymore.

“I never felt like much of an Angeleno,” he toldArchitectural Digestin 2024.

“And I did try.

I say that with sadness, not with snobbery.”

In 2015, the actor bought a half-acre hideaway in Hollywood Hills.

Although it was private and luxurious, it still didn’t ease Galecki’s feeling of being an outsider.

That is not to say that living the Hollywood lifestyle didn’t have its highlights.

However, in Nashville, Tennessee, he found a place where he could truly call home.

“Everywhere I looked around here felt like the scene of a future memory,” said Galecki.

Galecki purchased his Nashville mansion in 2018.

Galecki wanted the renovation to capture the home at a certain point in history.

However, there were challenges to bringing the past into the present.

For one, the workmanship and materials have changed a lot over a hundred years.

Galecki wasn’t going to give up, though.

In May 2019, Johnny Galecki and his former girlfriend Alaina Meyer revealed that they were expecting.

In November, their son Orbison was born.

The “Roseanne” actor took to Instagram to announce the news in December.

“Thank you for all of your love and support.”

The new family moved into their Nashville mansion right before the COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm.

However, it was rumored in November 2020 that the couple had split up.

The two allegedly stopped interacting via social media around that time.

The last time Meyer mentioned Galecki in an Instagram post about their son was in March 2020.

All three of them were last associated together online in a now-deleted Easter blessing post in April 2020.

While neither of them said anything to the public, their breakup became concrete when Galecki remarried in 2024.

The couple welcomed daughter Oona Evelena not long after the photoshoot.

There’s also very little we know about Morgan and her life.

It seems that the couple prefer to keep their personal lives private.

Earlier that year, the couple were spotted on a romantic getaway in Italy without the little ones.

They were seen taking a boat ride through the city and walking down the streets together in casual clothing.

Radloff revealed that her first Zoom interview with Galecki took four hours.

As their on-screen characters, Leonard and Penny, fell in love, so did the actors.

The two referred to the elevator shaft dream sequence in “The Nerdvana Annihilation” as a turning point.

“We felt something, yeah,” Galecki agreed.

“We adore each other.”

On Valentine’s day,Johnny Galecki also called out Kaley Cuoco in a hilarious post.

Nearly two years after the show ended, Cuoco shared that she was still in regular contact with Galecki.

“Johnny and I are very close.

We talk multiple times a week,” she toldE!

The “Big Bang Theory” star played Fee-Fo the Giant.

Together, they opened a nightclub, The Blueprint Underground Cocktail Club, located in downtown Nashville.

Dec was responsible for bringing his Underground Club in Chicago to life.

For Galecki, The Blueprint represented more than just a business opportunity.

From Reba McEntire to Martina McBryde to Macy Grey and Kevin Griffin, many showed their support.

What’s more, the new cocktail club is not members-only.

“It’s very open and very accessible and there’s no cover charge,” Dec proudly toldForbes.
