Today, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are happily married, and the couple has two children together. However, in a recent interview with Esquire, the actor talked about the difficulties he encountered during his first marriage to Demi Moore.
The 60-year-old Moore married the 44-year-old No Strings Attached actress in 2005, sparking skepticism and making news across Hollywood due to their 16-year age difference. The Striptease actress already had three daughters from her marriage to fellow actor Bruce Willis at the time: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis.
“I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” Kutcher said of becoming a step-father after tying the knot with Moore in 2005. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their twenties.”
In addition, he shared the truth about Moore’s miscarriage and how it affected him at the time.
“Losing a kid that you think you’re going to have, and that close to thinking you’re going to have a kid, is really, really painful,” he said. “Everyone deals with that in different ways.” He and Moore separated in 2011 and finalized their divorce in 2013. “Nothing makes you feel like a failure like divorce,” Kutcher said.
Kutcher continued, “I love kids. I wouldn’t have gotten married to a woman that had three kids if I didn’t love kids. The idea of having another kid would have been incredible. For whatever reason, I had to have that experience.” With his That ’70s Show co-star and wife Kunis, 39, Kutcher is now the father of Wyatt, 8, and Dimitri, 6. They did get married in 2015.
