Rumors about Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis potentially splitting have surfaced after the actor’s close friendship with rapper Diddy came under scrutiny, following Diddy’s recent arrest. Diddy, facing charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and prostitution, has found his personal and professional life being magnified by the media. Amid these allegations, a resurfacing of photos and videos showing Ashton and Diddy together led to speculation about Ashton’s involvement in Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles.
In a 2019 appearance on Hot Ones, Ashton shared insights into his bond with Diddy. Their friendship began on the set of Punk’d, where Diddy joked that he couldn’t be pranked by Ashton. From there, they hit it off, bonding over watching football and even running together. Ashton recalled one memorable run where Diddy, struggling to keep up, insisted on finishing without “looking like he was slowing down,” despite paparazzi surrounding them. Ashton spoke highly of Diddy’s determination and later shared how Diddy was so motivated by the experience that he trained for the New York Marathon, which he eventually completed.
However, with Diddy’s recent legal issues, rumors about Ashton and Mila’s relationship began circulating, with some suggesting that the couple might be heading toward a breakup. A source close to the couple quickly dismissed these rumors, calling them “absolutely ridiculous and false.” Another insider emphasized that Ashton’s interactions with Diddy had only been in public and business settings, clarifying that Ashton had no involvement in Diddy’s legal situation.
The couple had previously faced criticism for writing character reference letters for their That ’70s Show co-star Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape. The backlash led to Ashton stepping down from his role as chairman of Thorn, the anti-child sex abuse organization he co-founded. In a public apology, Ashton and Mila explained that the letters were not meant to question the validity of the legal process but were intended to show their long-standing relationship with Masterson. They expressed regret if their actions caused any harm or distress to victims.
Despite the surrounding controversies, Ashton and Mila have continued to publicly support victims of abuse while clarifying their involvement in these sensitive matters. The couple has firmly denied the split rumors, with sources maintaining that their relationship remains strong amid the challenges.
