Early life

He dropped out of school in the 8th grade and attended high school for only one day.
Galecki recalled his childhood friendship with his mother during an interview with New Zealand radio station ZM. As an infant, he was well-known for making up long stories and tales. In those situations, his mother used to force him to play the "quiet game," where he had to see how long he could go without speaking. He also remembered that although she was a loving mother, she was also a stern one. "I love you, now get out," one woman would adorably say.
Personal life
Galecki dated his Roseanne (and later The Big Bang Theory) co-star Sara Gilbert (their characters also dated). Gilbert discovered she was a lesbian during their dating relationship. They are all close friends.

Galecki's ranch was destroyed in a major wildfire branded the Hill Fire in late June 2017.
