Was it awkward? Was it legal? Was it better when cigarettes were involved?
Keep watching to find out why Ashton Kutcher didn't like kissing Mila Kunis.
Although Kutcher and Kunis got married in 2015,
the actors first met years earlier on the set of "That '70s Show." But before the two
got hitched, they both had other long-term relationships that were making headlines.
Kutcher's relationship with his ex-wife Demi Moore was highly publicized, partly due to the couple's
16-year age gap, but also because of their many problems. After the two got divorced in 2011,
Moore released a memoir where she included details about the issues that plagued their marriage.
According to Elle magazine, along with Kutcher reportedly cheating,
Moore claimed he also encouraged her to break her sobriety.
The couple's difficulty with infertility also strained their marriage.
Unlike with Kutcher and Moore, there isn't much known about Kunis' relationship with her ex,
Macaulay Culkin, despite the two being together for eight years. However, in 2018, Kunis revealed
on the "Armchair Expert" podcast that she regrets the way their relationship ended. She admitted,
"It's f—ed up what I did and it's f—ed up how I did it. When I got to be a single I said,
'I just need to figure myself out.'"
"And I'll be the first to admit it. And that's kind of something to come out
and be like, 'yeah, you know what, I was a d—' and I accept it and I own it now."
But despite all the ups and downs of their past relationships,
Kutcher and Kunis finally found love with each other.
Still, the couple's first kiss was a strange experience, especially for Kutcher.
It's a well-known story that Kunis lied about her age when auditioning for, and then landing,
the role of Jackie on "That '70s Show." To win the part, Kunis claimed she was 18 years old when,
in reality, she was only 14. Her then co-star, Kutcher, was 19. After word spread about Kunis'
real age, Kutcher was naturally uncomfortable when it came time to kiss her on-screen.
In a 2017 interview on "The Howard Stern Show," the actor elaborated on the situation.
"It was really weird, I was like, wait, 'Isn't this illegal?'"
He went on to say,
"It was really awkward, cause I'm like a 19-year-old kid."
"She was 14! Right. Like, she was like my little sister. I wanted to make sure she was okay."
Though Kutcher ultimately left "That '70s Show" before Kunis did,
in a 2001 interview with People magazine, Kunis revealed that the two stayed in touch online.
But it would be several years before they became an item.
According to Cosmopolitan, both Kutcher and Kunis became single in 2011.
They later ran into each other at the 2012 Golden Globes and instantly rekindled their connection.
From then on, their relationship was casual — until it wasn't. The couple got engaged in 2014,
had their first child later that year, and were married in 2015.
The pair has been in the news quite often, and it's clear they're very happy together.
Kutcher and Kunis' first on-screen kiss was awkward, but
what about their first real kiss as lovers? Apparently, when they first reconnected,
Kunis had just turned her back on cigarettes, but still wanted a whiff of cigarette smoke from
Kutcher, who was still a smoker at the time. Kutcher recalled on "The Howard Stern Show,"
"I was smoking cigarettes at the time and I was still a smoker and she had
quit smoking and she wanted me to like shotgun cigarette smoke so she could breathe it in."
"And I was like, 'Well alright.' And so I started doing this and
gradually through the night, it got closer and closer and closer."
They ended up making out and hooked up for the first time that night. Their first real kiss may
seem awkward to some, but it worked for them. And according to Kunis, she couldn't have asked
for a better partner. She told E News about the secret to their lasting marriage in 2017, saying,
"My husband does not annoy me. He doesn't.
He really doesn't. [...] We still really love and like each other daily. We really do."
"I have an unbelievable partner in crime. I really do, and I'm so grateful for it every single day."
