Mila Kunis commented in a new interview that it was “selfish” to ask her husband, Ashton Kutcher, not to go to space. The actor had a ticket on one of Richard Branson‘s Virgin Galactic flights.
They’re saying space travel it’s the future for travel. Billionaires like Richard Branson and former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos literally raced this month to be the first civilians to reach space.
Branson beat Bezos with less than two weeks, but both billionaires managed their space journeys safely back home. To the disappointment of some.
Both Branson and Bezos offered limited space for civilians in their shuttles, and Branson’s Virgin Galactic has a few flights already lined up.
One of the lucky owner of a ticket to space was Ashton Kutcher, who eventually sold his ticket because Mila Kunis asked him to.
Now Mila opened up about her reasoning, and we cannot actually blame her: she didn’t want to lose the father of her small children.
Mila and Ashton started dating in 2012. They married in 2015, and share two children, daughter Wyatt, 6, and Dimitri, 4.
Mila told PEOPLE: “We get together nine years ago and he was like, ‘I have a ticket to go to space.’ I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’ I was like, ‘That’s fun, have fun.'”
She continued: “Years goes by then all of a sudden we have a baby and he’s like, ‘I’m going into space.’ And I was like, ‘That’s irresponsible, you cannot have… This is not what you do. You are a father.’ I was all so hormonal and I was like, ‘You can’t, you’re going to die. The thing’s going to explode and you’re going to die — and you’re going to leave me with the babies.'”
Ashton eventually sold his ticket for the sake of his family. But Mila isn’t that comfortable with the fact that she asked him to do that. She shared: “”I know I hate it. The fact that I didn’t let him go into space was so selfish of me, but I was a new mom and I was like, ‘You can’t leave me and the babies.’ And so that’s where that decision was made out of.”
