Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are facing mounting pressure over Ashton's connections to music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was recently indicted on serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. According to multiple sources, the couple is exploring the possibility of relocating to Europe as a means of escaping the fallout from the controversy.
The recent developments come after resurfaced photos of Kutcher and Combs emerged online, showing the actor and the rapper together at various social events. RadarOnline reports that speculation around Kutcher's association with Combs has placed significant strain on his nine-year marriage to Kunis. The couple was last seen in public at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where they attended a Chicago Bears game with their two children, Wyatt, 10, and Dimitri, 7.
Diddy, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, was arrested in New York City on September 16. The scandal has intensified since a 2019 interview featuring Kutcher discussing Diddy's parties resurfaced, raising questions about his involvement. "I've got a lot I can't tell. Diddy party stories, man, that was like, some weird memory lane," Kutcher said during the interview, which has since gone viral on social media amid revelations about Diddy's alleged "Freak Off" parties.
While there is no evidence suggesting that Kutcher attended any of Diddy's controversial events, Kunis is reportedly frustrated by the renewed scrutiny on her husband. Sources close to the couple told RadarOnline that while the couple is not breaking up, they are feeling the strain. "Mila doesn't like that her husband is caught up in the scandal, but she's not going to desert him," the source explained. "They have a strong marriage, despite reports of trouble over the years."
Kutcher's judgment has been questioned before. In 2011, he faced backlash after speaking out in defense of Joe Paterno, the former Penn State football coach implicated in a sex abuse scandal. More recently, in 2023, Kutcher and Kunis were criticized after they wrote letters to the judge asking for leniency in the sentencing of their That '70s Show co-star, Danny Masterson, who was found guilty of rape. The backlash led to their resignation from the board of the anti-child sex abuse organization Thorn, which Kutcher co-founded.
With the recent Diddy controversy adding to the pressure, reports indicate that Kutcher and Kunis are considering relocating to Europe to distance themselves from the ongoing drama. According to ComingSoon, the couple has made moving abroad a priority, hoping to provide their children with a more grounded lifestyle away from the spotlight. However, logistical challenges, including their work and business commitments in the U.S., have delayed their plans.
Should their plans for Europe fall through, Kutcher is reportedly considering Northern California as an alternative. The actor, known for his investments in tech companies, has expressed an interest in the region for its proximity to tech entrepreneurs and the opportunity to offer a quieter life for their family. "He enjoys the tech community in Northern California and believes it could be a good environment for their children," a source told ComingSoon.
During a recent summer vacation, the family attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour at London's Wembley Stadium, further fueling rumors of their potential relocation. However, no official plans have been announced by the couple, and as of now, their future remains uncertain.
Despite the pressures, sources emphasize that Kutcher and Kunis are committed to working through their challenges together. "It really is 'for better or for worse' with them," an insider noted. "The Diddy mess will pass, and Ashton and Mila-and their marriage-will come through unscathed."
