1998: Kunis and Kutcher meet on the set of That '70s Show
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher met on the set of the popular sitcom That '70s Show back in 1998. Kunis, then 14, was cast as Jackie Burkhart, and Kutcher, then 20, played Michael Kelso.
Their on-screen characters were a couple with a complicated relationship throughout the show. Despite their on-screen chemistry, their real-life romance took nearly 15 years to develop.
Kunis recalled her first kiss with Kutcher as a memorable experience. "I was so nervous and uncomfortable," she told PEOPLE in 2001. "I had the biggest crush on him."
Kutcher admitted that he was also nervous and had butterflies. “I’m the first she kissed? Oh my god, I had no idea!” he exclaimed. "It would have been too much pressure if I had known."
April 2012: Things get more serious
After That '70s Show ended, Kunis and Kutcher went on with their lives. Kutcher married Demi Moore in 2005, and Kunis had a long-term relationship with Macaulay Culkin.
Their paths diverged until 2011, when they both found themselves single again. Kunis and Kutcher reconnected at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards, which led to a housewarming party where they rekindled their romance.
Kutcher and Kunis initially kept things casual, adopting a friends-with-benefits relationship. Their bond grew stronger, and by 2012, they had moved in together.
Kunis later revealed that her feelings for Kutcher were unexpected and intense. “I felt like I got punched in the gut, literally overnight,” she said. The couple chose to make their relationship official, paving the way for their future together.

"I'll tell you a funny story," she stated, according to People. "My kids were at daycare. It’s a hundred years ago, and there was an Ashton and a Mila. They were not related people. They were two different little kids, two separate families."
Kunis described an adorable coincidence: "This was the first day, and Ashton and I walked in… and there was a random Mila and a random baby Ashton, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is so cute.’” She mentioned that the children's parents had apologized for the mix-up, which Kunis found endearing. "They were like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ And I was like, ‘No, it’s so cute.’”
