The actors met on the set of the hit sitcom, and after Dude Where’s My Car? star Kutcher split from ex Demi Moore in 2011, the former co-stars began dating in 2012 and tied the knot in 2015.
In 2023, Kunis, 41, and Kutcher, 47, faced significant backlash for their public support of their That ’70s Show co-star, Danny Masterson, who has since been convicted of rape.
The Fallout
Their relationship was tested when their letters of support for Masterson, 48, were leaked. Outraged fans slammed the couple for asking the judge to be lenient on the convicted rapist and accused them of not believing victims.
The backlash prompted Kunis and Kutcher to release an apology video, but it failed to quell the outrage. The couple eventually stepped down from their positions at Thorn, an anti-child trafficking organization they co-founded with Moore.
Legal Consequences
Despite their expressions of regret over the letters, Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life behind bars for raping two girls. Kunis and Kutcher faced criticism for not completely cutting ties with their convicted co-star.
While the scandal tarnished their public image, the couple continues to navigate the aftermath and strive to make amends for their controversial actions.
