Reese and Ashton sat next to each other in director’s chairs in an apparent behind-the-scenes shot of a joint interview.

Happy birthday @aplusk!! Thank you for always making me laugh!!,” Reese wrote as a caption for her approximately 28.9 million followers.

Reese posted on social media after the Your Place Or Mine co-stars came under fire for a lack of chemistry on the red carpet.

Ashton’s wife and former That 70s Show co-star Mila Kunis, 39, agreed while mocking them in a group text.

The actor revealed in a teaser for an upcoming episode of Chicks in the Office, ‘My wife called me. She texted Reese and me together. She says, “Guys, you have to act like you.” And I’m like, “What’s going on?”

“Here’s the thing: if I hugged her and was, like, all friendly to her, I’d be having an affair with her, the rumor mill would be that I’m having an affair with her.”

He further explained, “If I stand next to her, I put my hands in my pockets so there’s no chance that that’s the rumor, the rumor is that we don’t like each other.” Reese and I are very good friends. We are so close. I don’t have to defend that. I don’t have to defend it.

Reese confirmed Mila’s amused reaction to photos of her and Kutcher on the red carpet.

“She even emailed us last night,” Reese said on Monday’s episode of Hoda & Jenna. She says, “You guys look so awkward together on the red carpet.” … It’s fun because when you get to know a girlfriend that much, it was fun to meet her partner because I’ve loved her for so long.

The upcoming romantic comedy follows Debbie, played by Reese, who swaps lives with her best friend Peter, played by Ashton. Debbie during her week in New York City falls for Theo [Jesse Williams] and gets caught in a love triangle after Peter realizes he’s always had feelings for her.
