Mila Kunis is an American film and television actress, best known for her breakout role as Jackie Burkhart on the sitcom That '70s Show and for her performances in films such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Black Swan.
Milena Markovna Kunis was born on August 14, 1983, in Chernivtsi, a city in present-day Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. At the age of seven, she immigrated to the United States with her parents, Mark and Elvira Kunis, and her older brother, Michael. Seeking better opportunities and a safer environment, the family settled in Los Angeles, California.
Kunis earned her first major acting role in 1998 when, at the age of 14, she was cast as Jackie Burkhart on Fox's new sitcom That '70s Show. Portraying a self-absorbed yet endearing teenager, Kunis quickly became a fan favorite, using the role to showcase her comedic timing and presence on screen. Her success on the show also led to a long-running voice role as Meg Griffin on the animated series Family Guy, a position she has held since 1999.
Following the conclusion of That '70s Show in 2006, Kunis transitioned more fully into film work. Her breakout film role came in 2008, when she starred as Rachel Jansen, a hotel concierge, in the hit comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall alongside Jason Segel and Russell Brand. The film was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, with Kunis earning praise for her charm and comedic skill.
In 2010, Kunis portrayed Lily in Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller Black Swan, co-starring with Natalie Portman. Her intense and complex performance received widespread acclaim, earning her nominations for both the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Kunis was in a long-term relationship with actor Macaulay Culkin from 2002 until their amicable separation in 2011. Years later, she shared that the breakup had been more painful and difficult than originally acknowledged.
In 2012, Kunis began dating actor Ashton Kutcher, her former co-star and on-screen love interest from That '70s Show. In early 2014, it was reported that Kunis and Kutcher were engaged, and she later confirmed during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that they were expecting their first child. Their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher, was born on September 30, 2014. The couple married over the Fourth of July weekend in 2015 at the Secret Garden at Parrish Ranch in Oak Glen, California. Their second child, son Dimitri Portwood Kutcher, was born on November 30, 2016.
In June 2019, Kunis and Kutcher addressed and dismissed tabloid rumors of a divorce by humorously responding in a video shared on social media, directly mocking the false headlines.
Mila Kunis has built a successful acting career spanning television and film. Her enduring role in Family Guy and box office successes, including Bad Moms and Friends with Benefits, have solidified her status in Hollywood. As of 2024, her estimated net worth is approximately $75 million, attributed to her acting work, voice roles, and endorsements.
