Mila Kunis can’t stop gushing about her marriage to Ashton Kutcher and why it works.
The prominent movie actress opened up about the deep comfort she experiences within her high-profile celebrity marriage, crediting their long-standing personal history as the reason behind their strong connection.
The two met in 1998, on the set of “That ‘70s Show,” but didn’t start dating until 2015. They now have two children together.
Kunis recently shared that her marital relationship functions smoothly because she and her husband have shared a bond since their youth. The couple originally crossed paths during the late 1990s on the set of “That ‘70s Show,” and at that time, she was just 14, and he was 19.
Appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the movie star explained that navigating multiple personal transitions over the years allowed them to witness every version of each other.
By the time Kunis and Kutcher initiated a romantic relationship when she reached her late twenties, they had already observed each other’s finest and most challenging moments, leaving absolutely no room for unexpected secrets.
This deep familiarity established a remarkably transparent environment where neither individual needed to conceal past experiences or put on a false persona.
“But he knew me through all of them, and I knew him through all of it, through like the good, the bad, the ugly, you know, and vice versa,” she said.
The entertainer emphasized that their entire partnership rests on a firm baseline of deep admiration because they essentially grew up alongside one another.
Knowing that they have successfully adapted to life’s shifts since adolescence gives her confidence that they will continue to grow together because there’s a certain level of “ease” to it.
Mila Kunis Previously Raved About Her Husband’s Thoughtfulness
This isn’t the first time Kunis has given the public a peek into her marriage to Kutcher. In late September last year, the actress highlighted how her husband demonstrates his deep affection by fully supporting her unique personal interests, even when they differ significantly from his own.
While attending the Toronto International Film Festival, she recalled a pleasant morning surprise when her spouse initiated an unexpected video call with the cast of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
The Blast noted that even though Kunis was barely awake at the time, the incredibly thoughtful gesture completely thrilled her. She explained that this total acceptance of her true personality is exactly what allows their partnership to thrive.
The Couple’s Marriage Was Rocked By The Danny Masterson Scandal
Kunis and Kutcher’s bond seemed to carry them through the good and difficult times, including when they faced heavy backlash due to their association with Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape.
The long-term partners faced reputational damage and backlash after publicly offering statements of support for the former television co-star during the major criminal trial.
When the public became aware of their letters of support, the couple faced instant condemnation from fans and observers alike. This forced them to issue a formal video apology to clarify their intentions, per The Blast.
To preserve their mental well-being and protect their household during the massive public fallout, the pair intentionally withdrew from the entertainment scene. Insiders noted that their time away allowed them to further strengthen their bond as partners.
The Couple’s Golden Globe Red Carpet Appearance Resulted In More Backlash From The Public
Kunis and Kutcher’s bond as a couple was further threatened when they made an appearance on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet in January. Despite their outward smiles and mutual adoration on the carpet, the public response online remained decidedly cold.
Digital spectators immediately took to social media to voice their disapproval, making it explicitly clear that previous controversial behaviors had not been forgotten. The Blast reported that one fan wrote, “I thought they were being excommunicated for being rape apologists,” while another noted that they “aren’t royalty anymore.”
Commenters openly questioned their presence at the major ceremony, noting that public forgiveness had certainly not been granted.
Mila Kunis’ Closeness With A Former Close Star Reportedly Caused Tension In Her Marriage
In addition to facing backlash from the public over their past grievances, the high-profile couple was also reportedly navigating some friction within their marriage. Recent media reports suggest that Kunis has maintained an incredibly close and playfully affectionate relationship with a former male co-star, Josh O’Connor.
Sources close to the situation claim that the two performers established an undeniable connection while working together on “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” per The Blast.
While their interactions appeared entirely platonic, Kutcher reportedly felt somewhat uncomfortable with their persistent familiarity, which is said to be “testing” his patience.
