Does January Jones Have a Husband? Inside the Love Life of the Actress Once Linked to Ashton Kutcher and Jim Carrey
After Ashton Kutcher was January Jones' boyfriend for a few years in the '90s, the former couple was credited with inventing the iconic prom pose during red-carpet appearances. Since then, January Jones' dating history has ranged from comedians to oil heirs.
When the public was first introduced to Jones, she was a model. She proved she was a woman of more than one trade as she quickly broke into the Hollywood acting scene and landed one of her most notable roles as Betty Draper in "Mad Men."
Over the years, while the "Mad Men" actress has been linked to reality TV heartthrobs, action stars, and musicians, she kept pursed lips when it came to the details about her personal life– including the identity of her son's father.

Ashton Kutcher Accused January Jones of Cheating on Him with Bruce Willis
Kutcher was a brown-eyed, baby-faced young man when he moved to Los Angeles in 1998 and caught the eye of the creators of "That '70s Show," earning him the role of Michael Kelso.
While his career was on the rise, he fell in love with a model from South Dakota – Jones. It is unclear how the exes met, but as two young people breaking into the industry, they were assumed to have run in the same circles.
By 2000, they took the next step in their relationship and moved in together. Since Instagram was not a thing when Jones and Kutcher were dating, red-carpet appearances were the rave for couples in the early 2000s.

Jones and Kutcher were given all the credit for popularizing the prom pose during their public appearances, and the pair dated for several years before the public caught wind of their split in 2001.
Although it has been over two decades since Jones and Kutcher went their separate ways, the cause of their breakup remained unclear, despite dramatic speculation.
In 2009, during a GQ interview, Jones spoke candidly of her first unnamed boyfriend when she moved to Los Angeles, who was unsupportive of her budding acting career. She said:
"The guy I was dating when I first got to LA was not supportive of my acting. He only has nice things to say now. If anything, I should thank him because the minute you tell me I can't do something, that's when I'm most motivated."

The GQ journalist Jones had spoken to assumed the unidentified man Jones spoke of was Kutcher, and years later, Jones finally spoke on the matter.
During an appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" in 2016, a caller asked Jones if she had anything to say to her famous ex.
Reluctant to go into great detail, Jones set the record straight and said she never mentioned Kutcher, or anyone, by name. When the show's co-host pressed Jones for more answers, she stuck to her guns and simply smiled.
Speculation around Jones and Kutcher's breakup only heightened when Kutcher's ex-wife, Demi Moore, released her memoir, "Inside Out: A Memoir," in 2019 and revealed Kutcher had suspected Jones of being unfaithful to him with her co-star.

In 2001, Jones starred alongside Bruce Willis, Moore's second ex-husband, in the comedy "Bandits." During this time, the two actors grew close, so close that Kutcher was convinced the co-stars were having an affair during the production of their film.
In her book, Moore wrote that while sitting beside Jones at an event, she asked the "Mad Men" actress about Kutcher's accusations, which Jones allegedly firmly denied. In Moore's book, she recalled Jones saying:
"Are you serious? I told him (Kutcher) a hundred times I didn't want that old man (Willis)!"
