Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher brought their kids, who are rarely seen in public, with them to a WNBA Game. The family was photographed together, watching the match from the sidelines. Photos and videos shared from the event, which showed memorable moments from the day, like when the couple’s daughter cried, have sparked endearing comments from fans.
On May 24, Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who usually keep their children out of the public eye, made a rare family appearance at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Together with their kids, Wyatt and Dimitri Kutcher, they attended the WNBA game between Indiana Fever and Los Angeles Sparks.

The family looked laid back in comfortable outfits. Mila wore a powder blue pullover and wide-legged jeans, Wyatt donned a purple pullover with white hearts, and Dimitri sported a black hoodie. Meanwhile, Ashton dressed in smart-casual attire, wearing a blue button-down, brown jacket, and brown pants.

The Kunis-Kutcher family appeared incredibly happy as they were photographed watching the game. Mila was seen laughing, and her kids looked equally joyful.

After the game, they had the opportunity to meet Caitlin Clark from Indiana Fever. Caitlin shared a warm moment with the family, hugging Ashton and the kids before they all posed for photos.
The meeting was particularly emotional for Wyatt, who was moved to tears. In a touching video, Mila was seen comforting her daughter, smiling as she wiped Wyatt’s tears away.
In a press conference following the game, Caitlin spoke about her interaction with the famous family. She jokingly commented about Ashton, saying, “He thinks he knows ball. I don’t know.”
In addition to praising the actor for his support, Caitlin called Ashton “somebody who has been very supportive” and added, “It’s fun to have him courtside. He’s the man.” She also mentioned his children, saying, “His kids were adorable. I gave them a little high five.”

On Instagram, many users were struck by the resemblance between the kids and their famous parents. One user commented, “[Their] kids are a literal copy of them both.” Another swooned, “The most gorgeous kids ever!” and another fan agreed, writing, “Wow they look like Mila.”

Observations about the children’s looks were common, with another admirer noting, “Such beautiful children! Their daughter looks just like her daddy!” Meanwhile, others claimed, “Both kids look just like Mila!”

On a different post, one user commented, “[Sic], they’re a literal ‘mini-me’ of each of them!” Reflecting on the rarity of the sighting, another user questioned, “That’s crazy… does that mean they’ve never been out in public?”
Although the outing was rare, Dimitri and Wyatt have been seen in public a few times before. One such time was during a family trip to Venice, Italy.
The European trip was a regular family vacation, with a ride on one of Venice’s famous gondolas. During the ride, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis snapped photos of their two children as they glided through the city’s picturesque canals.
However, the family photos were not shared on the couple’s social media page, as they have chosen to keep their children’s images private.

They also tried not to attract any attention during their tour. Looking like the average couple, Mila donned a pair of jeans with a simple shirt, cardigan, and sneakers, while Ashton sported an all-denim outfit with a baseball hat and a face mask.

This commitment to privacy also explains why they decline fans’ photo requests when out with their kids. Whenever they are with their children, Mila and Ashton make it a point to do their best to seamlessly blend in with the public, like when they were spotted taking Wyatt and Dimitri to soccer practice in September last year (2023).

The pair looked casual in their T-shirts and jeans—Ashton’s jeans were black and Mila’s were blue and ripped at the knees. “Ashton in full dad bod mode,” a spectator cheekily pointed out, referring to the slight belly evident beneath his white shirt.

In their article about the family outing, the Daily Mail adhered to the couple’s request not to post photos of their children. “The Butterfly Effect” actor has had many public appeals on this point, tweeting in mid-2017, “I continue to kindly ask, please don’t post/publish photos of our kids. They haven’t chosen life in the public eye.”

The Hollywood Fix; however, seemed to have a looser interpretation of this appeal when they uploaded footage of the sunny soccer afternoon of the Kunis-Kutcher family on September 10, 2023.
In the video, Ashton was kicking around a bright yellow soccer ball with unidentified kids on the side of the pitch. He looked to be engaged in friendly banter with them. He then joined his wife, who was talking to a man standing beside a tower of supply boxes.
Later in the clip, Mila cheerfully conversed with a group of people sitting on the grass, and a man standing beside her gave her a sideways hug.
Going on “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard” in February 2018, Ashton reiterated that they do not let the public take photos of their children. Dax Shepard and his wife, Kristen Bell, have the same policy.
In a separate interview that same year, he explained how important his family is. “I’m Wyatt and Dimitri’s dad. That’s my number one gig. Everything else is secondary,” he said.
While pregnant for the second time in August 2016, Mila Kunis revealed that she and her husband had discussed how to raise children who were not entitled before they started a family.

“It’s a matter of teaching them from a very early age that, you know, ‘Mommy and Daddy may have a dollar, but you’re poor. You are very poor; you have nothing. Mommy and Daddy have a bank account,’” she quipped.
The famous couple has not even set up trust funds for their two kids and does not plan to give them hand-outs. Ashton Kutcher confirmed that they plan to give all their money to charity.

However, he will invest in them if their kids plan to go into business and have a viable business plan. He wants them to be resourceful and aims to cultivate this instinct by taking them on regular camping trips.
