It may sound like a story straight out of Hollywood, but the tale of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis is as real as it gets. Their love story began on the set of “That ’70s Show” back in 1998, but it wasn’t until 14 years later that they started dating. Talk about patience and taking things slow. So, get ready to dive into the wonderful journey that brought these two iconic stars together.
Back in 1998, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis played the roles of Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart on “That ’70s Show.” An interesting tidbit: during the casting process, the director was looking for actors who were 18 years old. However, Mila, who was just 14 at the time, managed to convince them otherwise by bending the truth about her age.

Their first kiss? It happened on-screen. Mila Kunis’ first real kiss was actually with her now-husband, Ashton Kutcher. She had a big crush on him at the time and felt incredibly nervous and uncomfortable during that moment. In an interview with People in 2001, Mila admitted he was nervous while Ashton confessed that he would have been even more nervous if he had known it was her first kiss.
In 2005, Ashton Kutcher departed from his role on “That ’70s Show” and married Demi Moore. At the time, Mila Kunis was in a serious relationship with Macaulay Culkin. While they were involved with other people, it seems destiny had other plans in store for them.
In 2011, both Mila and Macaulay ended their relationship while Demi announced her divorce from Ashton. It’s almost as if the universe was trying to send them a clear message.
Fate brought them together at the 69th Golden Globe Awards in January 2012. Mila Kunis reminisced on Marc Maron’s podcast about the moment she laid eyes on Ashton Kutcher from behind and was captivated by his incredible charm. It was a true meeting of sparks.
In January 2012, they had their first off-screen kiss at Ashton’s housewarming party. Both actors remembered the party a little differently, but needless to say, things got steamy.
Soon after, they entered into a casual sexual relationship, reminiscent of their respective movies: Mila in “Friends With Benefits” and Ashton in “No Strings Attached.” It’s almost like life imitating art.
In April 2012, Mila realized that living a “casual” lifestyle wasn’t satisfying anymore. She admitted to Howard Stern that she had developed deeper feelings for Ashton. And what did Ashton do? He asked her to move in with him the very next day.
Ashton’s divorce from Demi Moore was officially finalized in November 2013. Now, they can move forward and make their love official without any obstacles. In February 2014, Mila proudly wore a stunning engagement ring from Tiffany, causing quite a stir on the Internet. Ashton had taken that important step and proposed to her.
In May 2014, Mila revealed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that she was expecting a baby. She shared her pregnancy cravings for sauerkraut and pickles, showing her excitement and readiness to embrace motherhood. Ashton and Mila welcomed their first child, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher, in October 2014. Ashton has described the experience of being a father as “the most incredible thing in the world.” It’s truly heartwarming.
And there you have it! Ashton and Mila tied the knot in a private California ceremony on July 4, 2015. From being co-stars to finding their soulmates, talk about some explosive chemistry. Fans eagerly awaited their first public appearance as a couple, and it finally happened in December 2017 at the Breakthrough Prize Awards. The anticipation was worth it, but why did they make us wait so long?
In March 2020, they did their first joint podcast interview, where they discussed their fun and playful parenting style. I mean, who wouldn’t want these two as their parents? Fast forward to February 2021, Ashton and Mila appeared together in a Cheetos Super Bowl commercial, bringing joy to our screens. When asked about the experience, Mila expressed her delight by saying, “It’s absolutely silly!”
In March 2022, the couple collaborated to raise more than $30 million to support Ukrainian refugees. Mila, who moved from Ukraine at the age of 7, joined forces with Ashton to make a significant impact.
And there it is, after fourteen long years, this love story finally came to fruition. It was certainly worth the wait, and who knows what lies ahead for these two soulmates? However, one thing is certain: their future is bound to be extraordinary.
