Now, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have become Hollywood’s most loved couple. Marriage goals or what?!
Ashton and Mila met in 1998 when they both starred on That 70’s Show, in which Ashton played the leading role of pretty boy, Kelso, and Mila played his on-and-off girlfriend, Jackie.
Ashton was twenty-years-old, whilst Mila was only fifteen.
But this wasn’t where their romance blossomed, at all.
After appearing in the hit show the 2 went their separate ways for many years.
Ashton married actress, Demi Moore, in 2005, and the marriage lasted 6 years. On the other hand, Mila had a long and rather rocky relationship with child-star, Macaulay Culkin, of Home Alone, which began in 2002 and lasted for 8 years.
When That 70’s Show came to an end, Ashton and Mila had apparently forged an enduring friendship, despite the 2 of them having separate professional and love lives.
Ashton appeared in movies such as What Happened In Vegas (2008), No Strings Attached (2011), and his recurring role in the comedy series, Two And A Half Men (2011-2015). Mila focused on her acting career, too, starring in movies such as Black Swan (2010), Friends With Benefits (2011), and doing the voiceover of Meg in Family Guy (1999-present).
They kept crossing paths.
Ashton’s marriage to Demi Moore came to an end in 2011, whilst Mila was single from her break-up with Macaulay in the previous year. Good timing? I think so…
Because they appeared together in public multiple times.
The world began suspecting the couple’s involvement with one another, and when asked about it, Mila simply said that the dating rumors were “absurd” and that they were just good friends. Okay then…
But that quickly changed.
Speaking to Elle Magazine, Ashton stressed the importance of keeping relationships private, saying: “I am going to do everything in my power to have this relationship be private.”
But soon the pressure of being in the public eye got too much…
Mila admitted to her and Ashton beginning their relationship as a “friends with benefits” kind of thing until their romance eventually blossomed into what it is today.
And they’ve been inseparable ever since.
Ashton and Mila welcomed their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, in September 2014, and their son, Dimitri, followed in 2016. Between the births of their two children, now aged 5 and 7, they tied the knot in July of 2015.
Ashton and Mila have been known to keep their personal lives extremely private.
They haven’t subjected their children to social media or the limelight, and have only made a rare couple of appearances with Wyatt and Dimitri.
They are raising their children in a normal, down-to-earth way, and despite their collective net worth of millions, the couple wants their children to not be spoiled…
And, as Mila once said, she doesn’t want to raise “a**holes.”
But Ashton shared something traumatic that happened to him…
And it definitely put their relationship to the test.
In a clip of National Geographic’s Running Wild with Bear Grylls, Ashton opened up that he was “lucky to be alive.”
After suffering from a rare autoimmune disorder.
He told Grylls…
“Like two years ago, I had this weird, super rare form of vasculitis that, like, knocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out, like, all my equilibrium.
“It took me like a year to build it all back up.”
He added that: “You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone.
“Until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to see again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to walk again.’
“[I’m] lucky to be alive.”
Ashton continued: “The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you, to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun, right?
“You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them.”

Since then, Ashton and Mila have made headlines for a bizarre hygiene habit…
And it has caused quite a stir…
“We have no closed doors in our house and that includes the bathroom,” Mila told E! News.
“It’s just one of those where, for better or for worse, as a family and the kids have all kind of embodied bodily function as a very standard norm.”
“I’d never thought that I would be the person that was able to go to the bathroom with the door open.”
But shockingly, it wasn’t this strange admission that got people talking…
The pair surprised fans after admitting they don’t buy their kids Christmas gifts.
Which is arguably even more bizarre than leaving the bathroom door open.
You’d think that the high earners would at least treat their kids to some presents over the holiday season, but it seems they’ve put strict rules in place.
Speaking to ETOnline, Mila said: “So far, our tradition is no presents for the kids.
“We’re instituting it this year because when the kids are [younger than] one, it doesn’t really matter.
“Last year when we celebrated Christmas, Wyatt was two and it was too much. We didn’t give her anything — it was the grandparents. The kid no longer appreciates the one gift. They don’t even know what they’re expecting; they’re just expecting stuff.”
She also revealed that she’s asked their grandparents to go easy on the gift giving too.
“We’ve told our parents, ‘We’re begging you — if you have to give her something, pick one gift. Otherwise, we’d like to take a charitable donation, to the Children’s Hospital or a pet, whatever you want.’ That’s our new tradition.”
More recently, Ashton was spotted taking part in the NYC marathon to raise money for charity.
The actor was seen wearing a black t-shirt, shorts with the Team Thorn logo, and bright pink running shoes.
He managed to raise a whopping $1 million.
The money will go towards a charity that he founded to combat the s*xual exploitation of children on the internet.
Talking on the Today show, Kutcher admitted that it wasn’t easy getting into shape for the marathon.
He opened up about how he lost twelve pounds during training and said, “I may have started a little bit too early. I think I started, like, 6 months ago.
“It’s brutal on the body. Like, I got injured halfway through and now I feel like I recovered from the injury, but I’ve had a lot of help.”
But it seems as though all his effort paid off.
He finished in a respectable 3:54:01 and ended up raising more than what he intended with the help of his friends and fans.
