Mila Kunis said her relationship with Ashton Kutcher felt easy because they already knew each other from childhood and had nothing to hide when they reconnected. On The Drew Barrymore Show, she tied that ease to a history that started when she was 14 and he was 19.
“I married my best friend,” Kunis said. “There was no getting to know each other.” She added, “There was nothing to hide,” and said that made the relationship “really easy.”
That ’70s Show years
Kunis said she met Kutcher on That ’70s Show, where she had been working since she was 14. The timeline matters because it puts the relationship on a long runway: their connection began as coworkers on a television set and later became personal after years of shared history.
Kunis and Kutcher reconnected when she was 27, and she said the foundation of the relationship “is built on respect because we’ve known each other since I was 14 and he was 19.” That line is the clearest explanation she gave for why the marriage works without the usual early-stage scramble to figure the other person out.
February 2014 to July 2015
Kunis and Kutcher became engaged in February 2014 and were married in July 2015. The couple share daughter Wyatt and son Dimitri, which puts the interview in the context of a relationship that moved from former costars to family life in a little more than a year after the engagement.
Kunis also said both she and Kutcher had trust issues, and that “The idea of someone taking advantage of the situation was my biggest fear,” adding that “but it was also his biggest fear.” That complication keeps the story from sounding like a simple nostalgia piece; the ease she described sits alongside a need for caution on both sides.
Respect and change
Kunis said part of growing up is constantly evolving, and that she never wants either one of them to stop changing their mind. That is the practical takeaway from her comments: the relationship may have started with familiarity, but she framed its durability around respect, trust, and an acceptance that both people keep changing.
What happened during the years between That ’70s Show and their reunion is still the unresolved part of the story, but Kunis made the important point plainly: when two people already know each other that well, the harder work shifts from introduction to maintaining trust.
