Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher showed their love at a dinner with friends in Beverly Hills.
On Friday night, the happy couple, who met as co-stars of Fox’s That ’70s Show, were spotted holding hands outside Matu Steakhouse.
The couple were dressed casually for the date with the 41-year-old Black Swan actress wearing a grey hoodie, jeans and white sneakers.
Meanwhile, the Two and a Half Men actor, 46, wore an unbuttoned, short-sleeved light grey shirt over a white T-shirt with jeans and a white Chicago Bears cap.
The outing comes later on the same day that the trailer for Mila’s upcoming film with 72-year-old Michael Keaton, Goodrich, was released.

In the film, Kunis and Keaton play an estranged father and daughter named Andy and Grace Goodrich.
His life is turned upside down when his wife enters a 90-day rehabilitation program, leaving him in charge of their nine-year-old twins. He reaches out to Grace, his oldest daughter from his first marriage, who is pregnant, for help.
“I’m 27 years older than you, which is basically unheard of among siblings… except maybe in Los Angeles,” Grace tells her siblings in the trailer.
The film also stars Andie MacDowell, Michael Urie, Carmen Ejogo, Laura Benanti, Kevin Pollak, Viven Lyra Blair, Nico Haraga and Danny Deferrari. The film hits theaters on October 18.
The pair’s departure comes after Ashton came under fire for saying AI “will be able to render an entire movie,” prompting many to come to the defense of the film industry.
Ashton suggested that entire movies could be produced using Sora, OpenAI’s latest generative video tool, during a recent discussion with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Variety.
“You’ll be able to render an entire movie,” the actor began. “You’ll just have to come up with an idea for a movie, then the system will write the script, then you’ll input the script into the video generator and it will generate the movie.”
He added: “Instead of watching a movie that someone else came up with, I can just generate it and then watch it.”
The couple were dressed casually for the date with the Black Swan actress, 41, in a grey hoodie, jeans and white sneakers.
Kutcher added: “Why would you go out and film a wide shot of a house on a TV show when you could create it for $100? Going out and filming it would cost you thousands of dollars.
“For the action scenes where I come out of this building, you don’t need a stuntman to do it, you can do it yourself (with AI).”
He went on to describe how a message involving a marathon runner running through a sandstorm, which would normally require a lot of CGI, could easily be generated.
Critics were quick to slam the Hollywood star for suggesting the magic of movie-making could be left to a computer.
Mila and Ashton met while starring on That 70s Show as teenagers. They are pictured here in 2023.
The couple married in 2015 and currently star on That 90s Show together.
“Imagine being Ashton Kutcher and stepping onto a film set now, after having just come out to defend all those production staff losing their jobs and starving to death,” wrote one detractor. “Good call, man.”
Some fans even criticized the actor’s resume, which includes films like Just Married, No Strings Attached and The Butterfly Effect.
“You could probably make an Ashton Kutcher movie with OpenAI’s Sora, but you couldn’t make a good movie with him,” one follower posted.
In May, Kutcher and Kunis sparked backlash after they were photographed enjoying an evening on the town with the brother of convicted rapist Danny Masterson, months after issuing a obsequious apology for supporting his That ’70s Show co-star during his trial.

In September, the couple came under heavy criticism after it was revealed they had written letters to the judge defending Danny, 48, and asking for “leniency” in his sentencing.
They later lamented the “pain they had caused” and insisted they would “stand with the victims” in a short joint video posted on their social media accounts.
