Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis hit a farmers’ market in Los Angeles
Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis were spotted heading to a farmer’s market a week after their former 1970s costar Danny Masterson was convicted of two counts of rape.
While enjoying some quality time together in Los Angeles on Friday, the pair stayed close as they walked back to their car with reusable shopping bags from Sprouts Farmers Market and Dr. Barbara Storm.
For the occasion, the Your Place or Mine star, 45, wore a denim jacket over a stripped gray and white top, blue pants, white sneakers and a matching baseball cap.
His other half, whom he shares with Wyatt Isabelle, eight-year-old and six-year-old Dimitri Portwood, wore a quilted black jacket, ripped jeans and gray sneakers.
The 39-year-old Black Swan actress opted to style her long brunette locks in a sleek bun and was seen texting on the sidewalk.

Their sighting comes after Masterson was found guilty of two counts of forced rape and sent to prison “where he will be remanded until the next hearing on August 4,” according to People.
He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years to life in state prison, according to the outlet.
Kutcher has not commented on the actor’s conviction, but rather said during an interview with Esquire in January that he hoped Masterson would be “found innocent of the charges brought against him.”
Kutcher, who co-starred with Masterson on That ’70s Show and The Ranch, said his limited perspective leaves him with no room to comment on the situation.
“Ultimately, I have no way of knowing,” the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, resident told the publication. ‘I’m not the judge. I’m not the jury. I’m not the prosecutor. I am not the victim. And I’m not the suspect. And so, in that case, I don’t — I just don’t know.”
At the time, the Two and a Half Men actor was still in contact with Masterson and his brother, the outlet reported, saying he made his comments with the fact that Masterson’s daughter Fianna Francis Masterson (with wife Bijou Phillips) would eventually would learn about the ongoing legal battle involving her father.
“One day his kid will read about this,” Kutcher said, adding that he considers himself a victim advocate.
“I sympathize with anyone who feels they have been violated in any way,” says Kutcher, who founded the online sexual abuse nonprofit Thorn more than 10 years ago.

Masterson was first charged with sexual assault by four women in March 2017 and has denied the allegations.
In June 2020, Masterson was charged with the alleged sexual assault of three women, to which he pleaded not guilty in January 2021.
An initial trial that began in October 2022 was declared a mistrial in November after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision.
At the time the first allegations were made in 2017, Masterson appeared on the Netflix series The Ranch with Kutcher and was subsequently written off the show in December 2017.

“I’m obviously very disappointed with Netflix’s decision to write my character off The Ranch,” Masterson said Us weekly in a statement. “From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me. Law enforcement officials investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and found them to be baseless.”
Masterson has also not been involved in the That ’70s Show reboot That ’90s Show to reprise his role as Steven Hyde. The Netflix reboot features original cast members Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Wilmer Valderrama, Laura Prepon, and Topher Grace.
Speaking to Esquire Tuesday, Kutcher said Masterson was the cast leader for the series, which originally aired on Fox.
“He said, ‘One f***ing rule: don’t do anything f***ing stupid and f*** this. Because if you f*** it up, f*** it up for everyone.'”
