Husband, Boyfriend, & Dating History

Macaulay Culkin

She’s reported to date Macaulay Culkin, a fellow child star, in 2002. The couple kept their relationship highly private, but rumors about them getting engaged kept coming at that moment.

He refuted the engagement rumors in an interview with Barbara Walters in 2003, stating that they’s not “engaged” nor “getting married.”

She also opened up regarding their relationship in an interview with Parade in 2007, saying that they’re “incredibly private” and “enjoy each other’s company.”

Unfortunately, her publicist revealed to The Huffington Post that they have split up in 2011, stated that the pair “remain close friends.”

Ashton Kutcher

Mila Kunis and Ashton met for the first time in 1998, in the filming set of That ’70s Show. He’s already 19 while she’s still 14 at that time, and he became her first kiss.

She revealed in a 2001 interview with people that she “had the biggest crush on him.” That being said, the duo stayed only as on-screen couple.

In April 2012 after she separated from Macaulay, she had a reunion with him at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards and attended his house party a couple of days later.

It didn’t take long before they began to date. Two years later in February 2014, the pair got engaged.

Their first child, Wyatt, was born in October 2014. They married in July 2015. Less than a year later in February 2016, they welcomed a second child, Dimitri.

Net Worth

Her net worth is estimated to be around $75 million. Mila primarily earns her income through her professional career as an actress.

Acting 

For That ’70s Show, which is arguably her most recognized acting project, she’s rumored to be paid $250 thousand to $300 thousand per episode after the show blew up, according to a report by Entertainment Weekly in 2003.

She also works as a voice actor in the animated television series Family Guy, and is said to get paid around $100 thousand for each episode.

As cited from a report by Forbes, however, the acting projects that bumped up her net worth significantly are Ted and Oz: The Great and Powerful, even though it’s not really known how much she earns from both movies.

Real Estate

In 2002, Mila Kunis bought a condo located in West Hollywood for $540 thousand. She purchased a mansion located in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles for $2.9 million in 2008.

Together with Ashton, the couple bought a Carpinteria, California-located beachfront house for $10 million in June 2017. It reportedly provides 3,1000 sq ft of living space inside and made up of two houses.

The couple purchased a house worth $10.2 million in Beverly Hills. The property was listed for slightly less than $14 million in 2020 and finally sold in early 2022 for $10.35 million.

This Beverly Hills property becomes their primary house and it was included in August 2021 issue of Architectural Digest.

Quotes

“That is the biggest form of bullying ever, the paparazzi. Printing lies, making accusations, it’s just bullying.”

“People have interpretations of what you’re supposed to be like. If you’re unattractive and overweight, you must have a great personality. If you’re attractive, then you must not be the nicest person. People are always taken aback that I’m easygoing but not necessarily stupid.”

“I had a normal upbringing and went to public school. If I ever, even for a second, started getting a big head, I was brought back to reality pretty quickly. I was working full time and still had to fight for a cell phone.”

“I had a snowboarding accident. I fell off a horse. I’ve had a concussion, a fractured rib… I walk into walls. I’m always bruised up.”

“I think that certain things are funny and certain things are okay to make fun of – including myself.”

“I’ve never dated. I can say this honestly: I don’t know what it’s like to date. But also, how am I going to date? I’m not in one state long enough.”

“My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life, you know, better education, better jobs. It was probably harder, much, much harder, for my parents. When you’re a kid, you can learn a language much more easily; I learned English in less than a year.”

“Always have a backup plan.”

“Listen, I am such a nerd. I’m not one of those girls that goes, ‘Ha, ha, hee, hee. I’m a nerd.’ No, no, no – my brain mentality is the same as a 12-year-old little boy. The video games that I play, the things that I like to watch – I’m a Trekkie.”

“I honestly think being single’s great. Being in a relationship’s great. It’s all about the timing.”

“I’m still a ‘Star Trek’ fan. You never stop being one.”

“I am… stubborn, and I admit it, so it’s OK.”

“I am very much a creature of habit, and I have no life consistency. None.”

“You want to be honest with a character and play it truthfully, and you want to be genuine with your character.”

“I think there will always be a double standard between males and females, so I think that an actress is more likely to protect her public persona, so to speak, than an actor would be.”

“I stand by every movie that I did. I don’t regret any decision I made.”

“I have an older brother who is 21 and attends UC Berkley.”

“My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that, and to go to UCLA, and to become someone great in life!”

“I feel like every role you take, there’s a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it. I don’t know if perfect is the right word because I don’t believe in perfection. I don’t think it exists.”

“I grew up in the Ukraine ’til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.”

“Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the ’90s as they did back in the ’70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear!”

“I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business.”

“I don’t think it’s true that blondes have more fun… Trust me, it is not true!”
