Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis to 'renew vows' after strain on marriage from Danny Masterson controversy

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are reportedly planning to renew their wedding vows as they seek to mend their marriage, which has been strained in the aftermath of the Danny Masterson rape scandal, as reported by Radar Online.

The couple, who starred together on the hit sitcom 'That '70s Show,' faced significant backlash after their letters of support for Masterson, a co-star and convicted rapist, were made public. Fans were outraged, accusing the pair of insensitivity toward the victims, which led to severe damage to their public image and personal lives.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis plan vow renewal as they rebuild marriage

Kunis, 41, and Kutcher, 46, began dating in 2012 after Kutcher’s split from Demi Moore, and they tied the knot in 2015. Now, nearly a decade later, the duo is looking to turn the page by renewing their vows in a private ceremony next year, according to sources close to the couple.

Despite releasing a public apology video, the fallout from the Masterson trial took a toll on their marriage, leading them to step down from their roles at Thorn, an anti-child trafficking organization founded by Kutcher and Moore.

Currently residing in the UK while Kunis films the latest installment of the 'Knives Out' franchise, the couple is said to be focusing on their family, including their two children, Wyatt, 9, and Dimitri, 7.

Although sources have said "they're having the best time" now, things weren't always so smooth. Other insiders have suggested that their marriage was seriously strained during the turmoil surrounding the Masterson trial.

Insiders revealed, "It caused Mila and Ashton a lot of stress and embarrassment. But luckily they're out the other side – and closer than they ever were. They really have this 'us against the world' type vibe."

According to an insider, the couple plans to mark their upcoming marriage milestone away from the public eye. The source shared, "Hey want to throw a party at their house and do a small vow renewal. They'll do it at home because they want to guard their privacy."

Insiders reveal that the vow renewal is planned as a low-key event, likely at their home, to maintain privacy.

"And the kids will be a part of the ceremony since they see this as a celebration of their love and commitment to their marriage and their family."

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis continue to support Danny Masterson’s siblings

Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after being convicted of raping two women. Despite publicly expressing regret over their character letters, Kunis and Kutcher didn't completely sever ties with Masterson's family.

Kutcher and Kunis have maintained ties with Masterson's siblings, Jordan and Alanna, whom they regard as part of their extended family. The couple was even seen dining with Jordan Masterson in Beverly Hills earlier this year.

Although the scandal caused significant strain, those close to the couple claim that they have emerged stronger, adopting an "us against the world" mentality as they look forward to their future together.

The insider shared, "Ashton and Mila grew up on the set of the original 'That ’70s Show' with the younger Masterson kids around all the time. They look at them almost like younger siblings of their own because Danny was their best friend on planet earth at the time."

Mila Kunis reportedly monitored Ashton Kutcher's ties after Danny Masterson controversy

Mila Kunis was reportedly keeping a close eye on Ashton Kutcher's connections following the Danny Masterson controversy.

Kunis reportedly took extra precautions to avoid further public backlash after she and Kutcher faced intense criticism for defending their former 'That '70s Show' co-star, Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape.

The couple's letters of support for Masterson, which became public after his conviction, sparked outrage and forced them to issue a public apology. This incident led Kunis to become particularly vigilant about Kutcher's past associations, including his previous partying with rapper Diddy, who later faced accusations of his own.

Sources indicated that Kunis was concerned about any potential fallout from Kutcher's earlier ties to Diddy, whose recent legal troubles had brought increased scrutiny.

While Kutcher was not directly implicated, Kunis reportedly kept a close watch to ensure their family stayed out of the spotlight for the wrong reasons. The couple, already under pressure from the Masterson scandal, was said to be focused on protecting their reputation and avoiding any further public relations issues.
