Mila Kunis Says Having ‘Nothing to Hide’ From Former Costar Ashton Kutcher Made Their Relationship Easy

Mila Kunis is opening up about her relationship with husband Ashton Kutcher.

During the actress’ recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, she recalled working on That ’70s Show since she was 14 years old, explaining that she had so many life experiences on set — including meeting her future husband, costar Ashton Kutcher.

When host Drew Barrymore asked what it’s like to have a relationship with someone you’ve grown up with, Kunis — who played Jackie Burkhart on the TV sitcom — said their relationship has only benefitted from knowing each other for so long.

“I married my best friend,” the mother of two said. “When we reconnected, I was 27. And I was a very different person than I was when I was 25, let alone when I was 21 or 19. You go through different changes, and you evolve. Hopefully, you grow — you become different. But he knew me through all of them. And I knew him through all of it.”

“So when we reconnected, there was no getting to know each other,” Kunis explained. “There was no, ‘But let me tell you all these hidden secrets. Let me tell you about all my baggage.’ We knew.”

“There was nothing to hide,” the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actress added. “So it makes it really easy.”

Kunis and Kutcher, who played Michael Kelso on the TV show, became engaged in February 2014 and were married in July 2015. They share daughter Wyatt, 11, and son Dimitri, 9.

Kunis said that the “foundation” of their relationship “is built on respect because we’ve known each other since I was 14 and he was 19.”

When Barrymore, 51, asked about being comfortable with a partner who’s known you through various life stages, Kunis admitted that her relationship with Kutcher, 48, worked out because they both “had trust issues.”

“Not because of something [that] happened that scarred us or anything,” she prefaced. “The idea of someone taking advantage of the situation was my biggest fear — but it was also his biggest fear.”

“Part of growing up is constantly evolving,” Kunis said. “I never want either one of us to ever stop evolving or changing our mind. And I think that’s the one thing that we both — because we’ve had so many years together as friends — [agree on].”
