Although Kaley admits she had a crush on Johnny from the very beginning, at the time, they were both in relationships.
While she says she was "very nervous" the first time their characters Penny and Leonard kissed during Season 1, it wasn't locking lips that sparked their IRL connection.

Looking back, Kaley says it all went down while filming "The Nerdvana Annihilation" episode where there was a dream sequence that Leonard saves Penny in an elevator shaft.

"We had to be in each other's arms — and for quite some time, because it was a bit of a stunt that we were doing. ... That was certainly one of the moments that I think—," Johnny said before Kaley added, "I think we fell a little in love in that elevator shaft."
