Few Hollywood couples have a story quite like this one. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher met as co-stars on a sitcom set when she was just 14, went their separate ways for more than a decade, then reconnected as adults. They are now married with two children, and in January 2026 they made a rare appearance together at the Golden Globes.
Here is the full timeline of their relationship.
1998: They meet on That ’70s Show
Kunis, born in Ukraine in 1983, was cast as Jackie Burkhart in Fox’s That ’70s Show. She was only 14, and has said she told producers she would be 18 “on my birthday” without saying which birthday. Kutcher, five years older, played Jackie’s on-and-off boyfriend Michael Kelso.
Their characters’ first kiss was also Kunis’s first real kiss, a story both have told many times in interviews. Off screen, they were simply friends. Kunis has said she was not attracted to him at all back then.
1999–2006: Eight seasons as co-stars
The show ran for eight seasons, and both became stars. Kunis also began voicing Meg Griffin on Family Guy, a role she still plays. Kutcher launched Punk’d and moved into films such as Dude, Where’s My Car? and The Butterfly Effect.
The years apart
- 2002–2010: Kunis dated actor Macaulay Culkin for about eight years.
- 2005: Kutcher married Demi Moore. The couple separated in 2011 and their divorce was finalised in 2013.
- 2006: That ’70s Show ended, and the two went their separate ways professionally.
2012: Friends become a couple
In 2012, after both of their previous relationships had ended, the former co-stars reconnected and began dating. They kept things low-key at first, and later said they had agreed to keep it casual, which did not last long.
2014: Engagement and a baby girl
- February 2014: The couple became engaged.
- 30 September 2014: Their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, was born.
2015: A quiet wedding
Kunis and Kutcher married in July 2015 in a small, private ceremony in California over the Fourth of July weekend. There were no big magazine photos. They have kept their family life largely out of the public eye ever since.
2016: A son
Their son, Dimitri Portwood, was born on 30 November 2016. The couple have said they do not let their children appear on social media.
2022: Standing with Ukraine
- February 2022: They starred together in a Super Bowl advert, a rare joint project.
- March 2022: After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kunis’s birthplace, the couple launched a fundraiser that raised more than $35 million for refugees, pledging $3 million of their own.
- March 2022: They attended the Oscars together, which would be their last major awards show as a couple for four years.
2023: Return to Point Place, and a backlash
In January 2023 they made a surprise cameo as Kelso and Jackie in Netflix’s spin-off That ’90s Show.
Later that year they faced heavy criticism for writing character letters in support of their former co-star Danny Masterson before his sentencing for rape. They posted a video apology, and Kutcher stepped down as chairman of Thorn, the anti-child-exploitation charity he co-founded.
2026: A rare date night at the Golden Globes
On 11 January 2026, the couple walked the red carpet together at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, their first major awards show together since the 2022 Oscars. Photos of the pair laughing on the carpet quickly went viral.
