Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting is shutting down rumors that she and husband Ryan Sweeting are expecting. The pregnancy rumors stemmed from a photo posted on the "Big Bang Theory" actress' dog's Instagram. Cuoco-Sweeting insists that she simply has a love for babies, saying, "If you're holding a baby right now, I will take it from you and hold it. Like, I have this need to take it."

During a red carpet interview with E! before A Night at Sardi's, a star-studded event that benefits the Alzheimer's Association, an interviewer told Cuoco-Sweeting that the photo had sparked her curiosity. The actress said the reporter wasn't alone but insisted she was definitely not with child.

"No, I'm not pregnant! I don't know why people keep thinking that. Maybe I should wear a little tighter clothes," she joked.

The 29-year-old's "Wedding Ringer" co-star Josh Gad, who also voiced Olaf in "Frozen," fanned the flames in a joint interview, joking about Cuoco-Sweeting's future children.

"Once your children have their baptisms and whatever, I'm going to be their hired entertainment," he quipped.

The joke prompted the interviewer to ask if Gad has just spilled the beans, to which he replied, "Kaley's having children!" Cuoco-Sweeting insisted that his claims were untrue.

Cuoco-Sweeting and her beau tied the knot in a New Year's Eve wedding in 2013. The couple had only been dating a short time, but the actress told "Entertainment Tonight," "I kind of feel that I've known him my whole life." The ceremony took place at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Southern California.

Cuoco-Sweeting told E! during her red carpet interview that she "can't wait" to have children of her own, but did not mention if she and her hubby were actively trying. At the moment, she is busy working on "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS. The show is in its eighth season.
