Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis made their first public appearance with their children over the weekend. The family attended the women’s basketball game between the Indiana Fever and the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Friday evening. They were seen posing with Caitlin Clark, #22 of the Indiana Fever.
Ashton, 46, and Mila, 40, who tied the knot in 2015 after Ashton’s 2013 divorce from Demi Moore, have a daughter, Wyatt, 9, and a son, Dimitri, 7. During the game, Kutcher high-fived Clark after she made a shot and celebrated with her after the win.
Ashton shared on Instagram: “Props @caitlinclark22 on W 1. Even Bigger props on being someone to look up to! Take your shot! #hawkeyes.” He posted a photo with Clark but did not show his children’s faces, respecting his policy of not sharing their images on social media.
Reporters asked Clark about her interaction with Kutcher. “Yeah, he thinks he knows ball,” she joked. “I don’t know. We’ll have to play one-on-one. But no, that’s a fellow Hawkeye, somebody that’s been very supportive of me over the course of my college career and now here. And his kids were adorable. I gave him a little high five there after I made that first one, but he was encouraging me the whole game. So it’s fun to have him courtside. He’s the man.”
In April, it was reported that Mila and Ashton would not be returning to “That ’90s Show.” They reprised their “That ’70s Show” roles of Jackie and Kelso for the first season of the Netflix spin-off, but the Black Swan actress admitted they aren’t planning to appear in the upcoming second season. She told Entertainment Tonight: “I mean, we did our thing and they introduced our son in the show and that was, you know, [enough].”
Mila, who was just 14 when cast as Jackie, credited her older co-stars—Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama, Topher Grace, and Ashton—for steering her away from drugs as a teenager. Speaking to Vanity Fair, she said, “I will say, the reason I don’t do drugs, the reason I didn’t get into doing drugs, all of that was because nobody on the set did. I looked up to them, at 14, and so the trajectory of my career, my life, could’ve gone any which way, but it didn’t.”
Although the cast often “played poker on Friday nights” and “drank beer” on set, Mila never felt out of place. She joked, “I wasn’t intimidated. I had a solid ego, man.”
Reflecting on her time on the show, Mila acknowledged her admiration for her co-stars. “I don’t know if it was intimidating in the sense that I didn’t know who I was or lost sense of myself. But I must’ve been like, ‘Wow, these kids are all so cool and they’re so much older than I am.’ We were all trying to figure ourselves out. We were all young.”
Mila, who has two children with Ashton, noted her casting was unusual for the time, as she had lied about her age to get the role. “It was in the heyday of older kids playing younger kids and I was actually the age of the character. I’d like to make it very clear now: I did lie. You have to sign a contract before you get the job and, in my contract, I had to put an asterisk and be like, ‘Studio teacher.’ And they’re like, ‘What do you mean?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, P.S., I’m 14.’”
