LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Johnny Galecki stepped in to help ex-girlfriend Kaley Cuoco at the 2015 People's Choice Awards on Wednesday.

The 39-year-old actor thanked the 29-year-old star's husband, Ryan Sweeting, after the actress forgot to in an earlier acceptance speech. When Cuoco returned to the stage with Galecki and their co-stars to accept an award for The Big Bang Theory, the actor acknowledged Sweeting in his speech.

"Hey, just real quick, I'd like to take a brief moment, because Kaley forgot during her speech to thank her husband," Galecki said as Cuoco patted him on the back and gave a thumbs up. "Ryan, you are my heart and I can't imagine what I'd be without you."

Galecki and Cuoco portray Leonard and Penny on the CBS sitcom, and secretly dated from 2007 to 2009. The actress subsequently got engaged to Josh Resnik in 2011, but ended the relationship in 2012. She and Sweeting married in Santa Susana, California in December 2013.

"He was in the front row at my wedding, with a huge smile on his face," Cuoco said of Galecki to Cosmopolitan in April 2014. "It took a minute, a bit of awkwardness. By the grace of God, we became best buddies and moved on in such an elegant way. [He's] one of my closest friends."
