Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s love story is a quintessential Hollywood romance that began on the set of the teen sitcom “That ’70s Show,” where they played on-screen love interests Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart. Despite their undeniable on-screen chemistry, their real-life relationship didn’t immediately blossom. Kutcher married Demi Moore, while Kunis was in a long-term relationship with Macaulay Culkin. However, after both their respective relationships ended in 2011, rumors of a romance between Kunis and Kutcher began circulating in 2012, fueled by sightings of them sharing a kiss at a party. Kunis later confirmed that their initial agreement was to “just hook up,” echoing themes from their previous rom-coms like “No Strings Attached” and “Friends With Benefits,” but inevitably, real feelings developed between them.

The transition from casual hookup to committed romance was marked by a moment of jealousy for Kunis when Kutcher mentioned dating someone else. This prompted her to confess her feelings, leading to Kutcher asking her to move in. Kutcher himself recalled a pivotal 2 AM visit to Kunis’s house, inspired by a Kenny Chesney song, where he finally confessed his love. Their romance rapidly progressed, and they welcomed their first child, daughter Wyatt Isabelle, in October 2014, followed by their son, Dimitri Portwood, in 2016. The couple’s private nature extended to their wedding, a low-key ceremony held on July 4, 2015, at The Secret Garden Parrish in California, which they initially kept under wraps.

Despite their significant individual net worths—Kunis at $75 million (boosted by her “Family Guy” voice acting salary) and Kutcher at $200 million (augmented by early investments in tech startups like Uber and Shazam)—the couple opted for remarkable simplicity when it came to their wedding bands. Kunis revealed on “Conan” that while she received a beautiful engagement ring, they chose to purchase their wedding bands for a mere $190 on Etsy, finding traditional jewelry store prices “astronomical.” This choice underscored their down-to-earth approach amidst their celebrity status.

Their union, while seemingly idyllic, has weathered significant challenges. In November 2019, Kutcher was diagnosed with a rare form of vasculitis that severely impacted his vision, hearing, and equilibrium, a life-threatening experience he shared on “Running Wild with Bear Grylls.” Kunis stood by him throughout this ordeal, emphasizing their philosophy of “powering through” health issues while continuing to manage their family life. Her unwavering support highlights the depth of their bond and resilience as a couple.

Today, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, having navigated health scares and the demands of Hollywood, reside with their two children in an ultra-modern, solar-powered farmhouse in California. Their timbered home, designed with sustainability in mind, includes abundant water for their crops, reflecting their shared values. The couple’s commitment to each other and their family life, a journey that began over two decades ago on a sitcom set, continues to be a source of inspiration for fans, demonstrating that even in the whirlwind of celebrity, profound and enduring love can thrive.
