Mila Kunis reveals the ‘worst thing’ her children could say to her

Mila Kunis has shared the “worst thing” that her children, who she shares with husband Ashton Kutcher, could tell her.

The 41-year-old actor spoke candidly about motherhood in a recent video with Noa Tishby, who worked as Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism. In the clip, published on the second night of Hanukkah (December 26), Kunis described how her Jewish upbringing shaped her concerns and tactics as a parent of two children, Wyatt, 10, and Dimitri, eight.

“I think I have a fear of not having enough food,” Kunis explained. “My fear of someone being hungry, like the worst thing my kids could say to me is, ‘I’m hungry.’”

The That’s ‘70’s Show alum went on to express how food can “fix everything” for her family.

“You’re tired? Eat some food. You’re cranky? Eat some food,” she quipped. “A health person’s gonna say this is unhealthy and we’re doing something wrong, and I understand. I’m working on it. But it is just something that’s embedded in me.”

Earlier in the conversation, Kunis also opened up about her and Kutcher’s traditions, as they’re raising their children Jewish.

“I was raised culturally Jewish. So for me, it’s a culture. And as I had kids. and my kids very much identify with the religion aspect of it. I’m like, ‘OK, I guess we’ll do Shabbos and we’ll do the candles,’” she said, referring to the day of rest at the end of the week in Judaism, also known as Shabbat. “There’s so much beautiful tradition in it.”

Throughout their careers in Hollywood, Kutcher and Kunis have opted to keep their children out of the spotlight. However, the couple and their two children did make a rare appearance at a WBNA game in Los Angeles, California in May.

During the game, which saw the Indiana Fever defeat the Los Angeles Sparks, the group of four also had the opportunity to meet iconic point guard Caitlin Clark.

The Black Swan star has previously opened up about her family lives at home. Speaking to E! News in 2022, Kunis shared how “doors are always open in [their] house.”

“We have no closed doors in our house and that includes the bathroom,” Kunis said. “It’s just one of those where, for better or for worse, as a family and the kids have all kinds of embodied bodily functions as a very standard norm.”

She acknowledged that she was once surprised by her at-home routine, adding: “I’d never thought that I would be the person that was able to go to the bathroom with the door open.”

She also confessed that even at times when she did close the bathroom door, “it never made a difference,” as her family would continue knocking on it “every two seconds”.

“I was like, ‘Oh, forget it. Just keep the door open,’” Kunis added.
