Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher: A Look Back at Their Fairytale Love Story

Hollywood power couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have known each other for years. However, while they may have been on-screen lovers they had a rocky start to their friendship and relationship in real life.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are one of the most iconic couples in Hollywood. The pair met on the set of the popular hit TV show, "That 70's Show."

They went from being an on-again, off-again on-screen couple to happily married with two kids in real life. Here is a look at how their relationship developed over the years.

1998: Meeting on "That 70's Show."

Before being cast in "That '70s Show," Mila was working in commercials and small film while Ashton was building his modeling career with Calvin Klein. Kunis and Kutcher met at ages 14 and 19 in 1998 during the table reading of the script for the show.

The casting director required actors to be 18 years old and Kunis lied to land the role. When they realized her actual age they decided she was too talented to fire and allowed her to stay.

Mila's first kiss was on the show with Kutcher while playing the storyline between their characters Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso. In 2001, Kunis revealed they were practically strangers but she was crushing on him. She said:

"I was like, ‘Oh, he's so cute, it's the Calvin Klein model! ...Then I was like, ‘I have to kiss him?' I was so nervous and uncomfortable. I had the biggest crush on him."

Kutcher did not know it was her first kiss. While their characters were in a relationship, their age difference in real life kept their relationship platonic. Kutcher said:

"Yeah, I did her chemistry homework for her … She was like my little sister."

"We'd always kept in touch on like AIM… so we always kept in touch since after '70s. 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!"
