Mila Kunis

Milena Markovna "Mila" Kunis is an American actress and producer known for her sharp wit and versatile performances across comedy and drama. She currently balances a prolific film career with her long-standing role as the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy. Her work has earned her critical acclaim and commercial success, including leading roles in major studio franchises like Ted and Bad Moms.

Kunis remains a prominent figure in Hollywood, recognized for her ability to transition seamlessly between animated voice work and live-action dramatic roles. As of 2026, she continues to produce and star in projects that highlight her range, maintaining a steady presence in both television and cinema while managing her family life with husband Ashton Kutcher.

Born Milena Markovna Kunis in Chernivtsi, Ukrainian SSR, she spent her early years in a Jewish household before her family faced increasing antisemitism and economic instability in the late Soviet Union. In 1991, when she was seven years old, her parents made the difficult decision to flee their homeland. They arrived in Los Angeles with minimal resources, settling in South Central Los Angeles where they lived in a small apartment.

Despite the challenges of immigration and adjusting to a new culture, Kunis began pursuing acting shortly after arriving. She attended Fairfax High School while working part-time jobs and auditioning for roles. Her early career consisted of minor television appearances and commercials, but she quickly found her footing in the industry. At age 14, she secured her first significant role, which set the stage for her future success. By the time she turned 15, she was already balancing her education with a demanding schedule of filming.

Kunis's breakthrough came in 1998 when she was cast as Jackie Burkhart on the Fox sitcom That '70s Show. She played the character for eight seasons until the series ended in 2006, becoming one of the show's most recognizable stars. Concurrently, in 1999, she began voicing Meg Griffin on the animated series Family Guy, a role she has maintained for over two decades, making it one of the longest-running voice acting careers in television history.

Her transition to film stardom accelerated in the late 2000s. After starring in the action film Max Payne (2008), she delivered a breakout performance in the romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall later that same year. The following year, she received widespread critical acclaim for her role as Lily in Darren Aronofsky's psychological thriller Black Swan (2010). The performance required intense physical training in ballet and earned her nominations for a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Following this critical success, Kunis starred in several commercial hits, including the blockbuster comedies Ted (2012) and its sequel, Friends with Benefits (2011) alongside Justin Timberlake, and the fantasy adventure Oz the Great and Powerful (2013). In 2016, she produced and starred in the comedy Bad Moms, which launched a successful franchise. She continues to act today, with recent appearances in films such as Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025). [edit]

Kunis is viewed as a relatable and grounded figure in Hollywood, often contrasting with the typical "glamour" stereotype associated with celebrity life. Media portrays her as a devoted mother and a savvy businesswoman who takes control of her career through production ventures. Her public persona is defined by her sharp wit and distinctive voice, which she brings to both comedic and dramatic roles. She maintains a strong social media presence, often interacting directly with fans without the need for a formalized fan club structure. [edit]

The iFANN Global Fame Rankings place Mila Kunis as the 3rd most famous person from Ukraine as of September 2026, a position she has held steadily since the previous cycle. This ranking reflects her enduring global recognition stemming from decades of continuous work in television and film rather than singular viral events.

Unlike figures with structured grassroots movements or named fanbases driving specific chart campaigns, Kunis's audience interacts primarily through the unmediated updates she shares regarding family and career. This approach has fostered a following that values candid access over ritualistic participation, lacking any formal designation or centralized campaign infrastructure. The cultural narrative surrounding her is anchored in her early transition to stardom during the run of That '70s Show and sustained by the enduring public interest in her long-term partnership with Kutcher.

Kunis speaks Russian fluently and often uses it at home with her family. She left high school early to focus on her acting career but eventually returned to graduate. She is a devout Jew and celebrated her Bat Mitzvah in the United States after immigrating. During the filming of Black Swan, she underwent rigorous ballet training to perform her own dance sequences, a feat that garnered significant industry respect. Another legendary anecdote involves her improvisation in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, where she reportedly deviated from the script in a way that impressed the director. In July 2026, she co-hosted Live with Kelly and Mark during Kelly Ripa's absence, a notable appearance where Kutcher made a rare cameo to support her. [edit]

Kunis was born into a Jewish family in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, and emigrated to the United States with her parents and sister at age seven. Her father, Edward Kunis, worked as a plant engineer, and her mother, Elvira, was a unit clerk. She has one older sister named Irina. Kunis lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Ashton Kutcher, and their two children. Their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, was born in April 2014, and their son, Dimitri Portwood, was born in November 2015. The couple is known for their grounded approach to parenting, often sharing candid stories about their family life in interviews. [edit]

Mila Kunis has been exclusively linked to one long-term partner since adolescence. She met Ashton Kutcher in 1998 through mutual friends while both were teenagers. They have described themselves as childhood sweethearts who knew each other before their respective careers took off. Although they were close friends early on, they rekindled their connection in 2004 and officially began dating that year.

Their relationship progressed steadily over the next decade. They became engaged in 2011 and married on September 26, 2015, in a private ceremony in Malibu, California. Their relationship is characterized by a long history of friendship prior to romance. Together, they have two children: daughter Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher, born in April 2014, and son Dimitri Portwood Kutcher, born in November 2015. As of 2026, Mila Kunis is currently married to Ashton Kutcher. Recent news highlights their active family life, including rare public outings with their daughter and candid discussions about their parenting styles. There are no reported divorces, separations, or other romantic partners in her public record. [edit]
