Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s relationship timeline reads like a romantic comedy, which makes sense since they’ve both starred in them. Mila and Ashton went from being co-stars on That 70s Show to being married with two kids. There’s a lot you might not know about the private couple, so we decided to compile all the milestones (and cute moments!) from their relationship stemming from the late ’90s to now. No need to thank us, we gotchu.
1998
The future lovebirds meet as costars for That 70s Show. The show runs from 1998 to 2006. Their characters, Jackie and Michael, are onscreen love interests and fun fact: Ashton is Mila’s first kiss… ever.
“I was like, ‘Oh, he’s so cute, it’s the Calvin Klein model,” Mila later tells People in 2001. “Then I was like, ‘I have to kiss him?’ I was so nervous and uncomfortable. I had the biggest crush on him.”

“I’m the first guy she kissed? Oh my god, I had no idea,” he tells People that same year. “I’m so glad I didn’t know that or it would’ve been too much pressure.”
2005
Ashton leaves The 70s Show before the show wrapped. But, don’t worry! He keeps in touch with Mila via (…wait for it) AIM.
“We’d always kept in touch on like AIM … so we always kept in touch since after ’70s,” she reminisces during a 2016 Elle interview. “We’d pop up on each other’s thing and be like ‘Hey, oh my god! How are you? How’s life?’ ‘Like everything’s good!’ ‘Great!’ [I wasn’t thinking about him romantically], no, not at all!”
In September, Ashton marries Demi Moore and Mila is still dating her ex-boyfriend, Macaulay Culkin.
2011
Mila and Ashton become single in the same year, which is, um… convenient. Ashton splits from Demi and announces the news on Twitter, writing, “Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail.”
Mila and longtime boyfriend Macaulay also call it quits after dating since 2002. Years later, Mila speaks out about their split on an episode of Dax Shepard’s podcast, Armchair Expert. She admits that it was “a horrible, horrible breakup,” adding, “I f*cked up.”

She explains, “I was an ass in my 20s and I’ll be the first to admit it. And that’s something that took me a long time to come out and be like, ‘Yeah, you know what, I was a dick,’ and accept it and I own it now.”
January 2012
Sparks fly between Mila and Ashton a year after their respective splits. They reunite at the Golden Globes and then Mila attends his house party later that year.
“I think I was smoking cigarettes at the time, and I was still a smoker,” Ashton tells Elle. “And she had quit smoking and she was like, she wanted me to like shotgun a cigarette smoke so she could breathe it in and I was like, ‘All right.’ And I started doing this. And gradually through the night, it got closer and closer and closer… It was kind of obvious that things were happening.”

Mila draws a comparison to her movie, Friends With Benefits, and Ashton’s nearly-identical movie, No Strings Attached.
“It was the first time ever that I ever slept over at a guy’s house since becoming single. He didn’t let me leave. At two in the morning, I was like ‘I’m going to call an Uber.’ And he was like, ‘You’re crazy’ and I was like, ‘BYE.’ When I was single, I was so adamant about never staying at a guy’s house, that I was like peacing out. And he was like, ‘You’re not leaving.’ And that was the first time [I didn’t,]” she says on the WTF podcast. “I did a movie called Friends With Benefits. He did a movie that was very similar called No Strings Attached. We lived our movies out. We were just like, let’s just hook up. Let’s have fun. We’re both single. We both trust each other. Everything’s great.”
April 2012
Aaaaand then they moved in together. “I was like, you know what, I actually care about you. I don’t want to mess anything up so I’m just going to walk away before it becomes too much,” Mila continues on the podcast. “And he was like, ‘Got it.’ And the next day, he showed up to my house and he was like, ‘Move in with me’ and I said, ‘OK.'”
