No, Ashton-Mila are not separating over Diddy 'friendship'
Despite swirling online speculation, Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis's nine-year-long marriage remains unscathed. The rumors were triggered by the resurfacing of old photos and videos featuring Kutcher with now-incarcerated music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, following the latter's recent arrest. An insider told People that the breakup chatter is "absolutely ridiculous and false."
Kutcher's past associations under scrutiny
The rumors were fueled by Kutcher's past friendship with Combs, highlighted through old photos of them together at events such as Combs's annual White Party in 2009. Online sleuths reported that Kutcher might be summoned in Diddy's high-profile case and hence Kunis had "restricted contact" between them. However, there is no evidence suggesting Kutcher or any other celebrities who attended these parties were involved in illegal activities. Additionally, Kutcher's relationship with convicted rapist Danny Masterson has also come under scrutiny.
Kutcher's silence on Combs's allegations and Masterson connection
Kutcher has remained silent about the allegations surrounding Combs. His friendship with the rapper was further scrutinized when he declined to discuss Combs's infamous parties during a 2019 appearance on Hot Ones. The actor also faced criticism for his support of Masterson, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of forcible rape.
Kutcher and Kunis's relationship history
Kutcher and Kunis first met on the set of That '70s Show in 1998, where Kunis played Jackie Burkhart, the love interest of Kutcher's character Michael Kelso. Despite their on-screen romance, the couple didn't start dating until early 2012. In a 2022 interview, Kunis confessed to lying about her age during her audition for That '70s Show at just 14 years old.
