Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Enjoy a Date Night at the 2026 Golden Globes – Photos

A quiet, cinematic moment unfolded away from the red carpet's main flashpoints as a Hollywood couple moved through the Golden Globes venue with an ease that drew attention without spectacle.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis attended the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at The Beverly Hilton on January 11, 2026, in Beverly Hills, California, where their understated date night quietly became one of the evening's most talked-about appearances.

A Glimpse Behind the Spotlight

In the first image, Kutcher and Kunis are captured from behind as they walk down a red-carpeted corridor inside the venue. The hallway is lined with warm-toned walls and leads toward a brightly lit event space ahead.

Kunis wears a strapless ivory ball gown with dark floral embroidery and a full, sweeping skirt, while her long brunette hair cascades in loose waves down her back. Kutcher walks beside her in a classic black suit, and the pair appear to be mid-conversation as they move forward together.

A second image offers a closer look at Kunis during the evening. In the portrait, she wears subtle, polished makeup with softly defined eyes and a natural lip, paired with floral-shaped statement earrings. Her hair is sleekly parted and tucked behind her ears as she gazes slightly off-camera with a composed, serene expression, while photographers blur into the background.

Commanding the Red Carpet, Together and Apart

In another photo, Kunis poses solo on the red carpet at The Beverly Hilton, facing the camera with one hand resting on her hip. Her strapless ivory gown features intricate dark floral detailing across the bodice and skirt, emphasizing a structured silhouette. Behind her, photographers raise their cameras under bright event lighting, capturing the moment.

The final photograph shows Kunis standing beside Kutcher, facing the cameras together on the red carpet. She maintains a confident pose in the embroidered gown, while Kutcher stands close in his black suit, looking toward her. Floral arrangements and photographers frame the background, reinforcing the formal, high-profile atmosphere of the Golden Globes.

Online Applause, Speculation, and Side-Eye

As images from the Beverly Hills ceremony circulated online, social media viewers quickly weighed in on both the couple's appearance and overall vibe. On Instagram, one commenter wrote, "Beautiful couple! Her dress is very refreshing! And she can walk in it, no problem. 😉."

Another observed, "He's returned with a new face it would seem and she's just flawless." A separate Instagrammer praised Kunis's look, "She looks quite gorgeous, what a classy dress ✨." On Facebook, reactions focused more heavily on Kutcher's appearance. One commenter remarked, "He looks … different It's the hair!" Another joked, "Ashton? That's gotta be a clone."

A different netizen countered speculation by writing, "It is definitely not Ashton, people," while another added bluntly, "Face or eye lift." Additional reactions appeared beneath a Facebook reel from the event. One commenter wrote, "They're so cute…they look like they're going to prom."

Another echoed the sentiment, "They look like they are going to prom." A third focused on Kunis's fashion, adding, "Great dress! Looks like the 50's."

Together, the images from The Beverly Hilton and the online reactions framed a moment that blended old-Hollywood elegance with modern celebrity scrutiny, capturing the couple enjoying a polished date night at the 2026 Golden Globes, even as every detail sparked conversation.

Coming on the heels of their polished Golden Globes appearance, where the couple projected effortless unity and old-Hollywood romance, Kutcher and Kunis's public outing in August 2025 suggests that even their most casual moments now arrive under a far more skeptical lens.

A Viral Concert Moment That Backfired

Kutcher and Kunis' 2025 Backstreet Boys concert outing stirred more backlash than fanfare, after a fan-recorded clip of their public display of affection went viral and was quickly met with waves of online criticism.

The video, posted on Instagram by a fan seated in front of the couple at the Sphere in Las Vegas, shows the Hollywood pair dancing, laughing, and goofing off during the boy band's performance.

The original poster described the scene in their caption, writing, "Ashton Kutcher and the ever-lovely Mila Kunis were behind us at the Backstreet Boys show at the Sphere tonight. They stole the show on this one with a little fun. They were both gracious to the crowd and fans around them."

From Sweet Moment to PR Skepticism

While the post may have aimed to highlight a sweet celebrity encounter, the comment section told a very different story. Many netizens accused the couple of staging the moment to clean up their public image after months of scrutiny.

"THIS is the best their PR team could come up with?" one commenter questioned. "They're so cringe. I thought they were canceled 😑," another wrote, echoing sentiments that the moment felt disingenuous in light of past controversies involving the couple.

One commenter remarked, "This feels# forced and not natural, read their energy especially Aston’s 😂," criticizing Kutcher’s demeanor. Others referenced their now-infamous character letters in support of Danny Masterson, with one commenter writing, "If only they hadn't written a letter of support for their costar. Not even gonna say his name."

Another piled on, "Putting a performance for the world 🙄." Some compared them unfavorably to other low-key celebrity couples, writing, "They will never be Brenda and Macaulay."

'Smoke and Mirrors,' With a Few Defenders

One viewed the display as calculated damage control, "I guess they think they are in the clear & can’t be touch🤔 They living it up while people lives were forever changed [sic]," while another commenter added, “Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors….."

"Bad acting ... seems a bit embarrassing," someone wrote, while another noted, "No one naturally behaves like that, body language is so off."

Still, amid the criticism, a handful of fans came to their defense, expressing fondness for the couple. One fan commented, "Oh man. I haven't watched an Ashton Kutcher movie in so long. A Lot Like Love is one of my faves!!" One supporter added, "They are so cute. I will be doing the same thing. Lol."

"Favorite couple since That '70s Show 😭," wrote another, while someone else gushed, "Prettiest woman in the World 😍." The moment, meant to show off a carefree night out, has instead reopened old wounds and reignited conversations about celebrity image, accountability, and what fans now consider authentic behavior in the public eye.

Divorce Rumors Resurface Amid Separate Sightings

The backlash comes at a time when Kutcher and Kunis underwent intense public scrutiny, with divorce rumors and resurfaced controversies fueling speculation about the state of their marriage.

In September 2024, Kutcher and Kunis were spotted enjoying solo outings with their children in Los Angeles. This sparked divorce rumors. Kutcher was spotted at a flag football practice with their seven-year-old son, Dimitri, while Kunis spent time with their nine-year-old daughter, Wyatt, at a dance class.

Though both appeared casual and focused on family, the separate appearances raised eyebrows. This was a rare sighting of the usually private couple, and the timing couldn't have been more curious.

With Kutcher caught up in renewed controversy, fans further questioned whether their separate outings suggest underlying marital tension. However, the casual nature of these family moments hints that their focus was on their children rather than on issues in their marriage.

Resurfaced Clips and Old Rumors Reignite Scrutiny

Adding fuel to the fire, a video clip of Kutcher from an earlier interview resurfaced, reigniting controversy. In the video, Kutcher shares a cryptic story about attending one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' famous parties, which he described as "wild" and filled with secrets he couldn't disclose.

Laughing as he recalled the events, Kutcher, at the time, hinted that there were stories he couldn't divulge, a remark that seemed troubling to some, given the serious allegations against Combs. The development led some to speculate that Kunis had distanced herself from Kutcher due to his past connections, further fueling uncertainty about their relationship.

Likewise, in 2019, the couple was also the subject of tabloid reports claiming their marriage was on the rocks. Rather than issuing a formal statement, Kutcher and Kunis took a playful approach to shut down the gossip. The couple posted a humorous video on Instagram, mocking the false claims.

In the video, Kutcher turned to Kunis and asked with a straight face, "Babe, what's happening?" She responded with the tabloid headline, "It's over between us."

They continued to play along, with Kunis joking that she "felt suffocated," and Kutcher responding with mock shock, "Oh, I was so overbearing, wasn't I?" The banter continued, and Kunis teased Kutcher that she had taken the kids. Kutcher, pretending to be dismayed, responded, "I don't get the kids anymore?"

The video ended with the couple laughing, effectively debunking the rumors in a playful and relatable way. This lighthearted approach to addressing false claims endeared them to fans even more.

Taken together, the Golden Globes appearance, the viral concert clip, and the resurfaced rumors underscore how quickly public sentiment can shift for even Hollywood's most familiar couples.

For Kutcher and Kunis, moments meant to appear light and unguarded now land in a climate of heightened skepticism, where every outing is parsed not just for romance or style, but for what it might signal beneath the surface.
