TikTokers are convinced that there’s trouble in paradise for Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher amid Sean “Diddy” Comb’s ongoing legal scandal and a resurfaced video of Ashton talking about his relationship with the rapper. If you didn’t know, Ashton was seemingly good friends with Diddy, who was arrested on September 17 after being indicted by a federal grand jury. The music mogul is facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges after several women came forward with serious allegations against him. Now, there are rumors that Ashton’s connection to him is affecting his marriage and making him consider leaving the country. To be clear, these are currently rumors. There are no official signs of divorce or moving, so keep in mind this is all based on speculation and buzz online. Are Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher really headed toward divorce? Or are they moving to Europe to get some distance from the scandal? Here’s what we know.
We reached out to Mila and Ashton’s team for comment on the split rumors, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Rumors are circulating online about a potential split between Mila and Ashton. A bunch of TikTokers spreading the rumor are anticipating that there will be issues in Mila and Ashton’s marriage because of the ongoing Diddy scandal. Some people noticed that Ashton and Mila went on separate outings on September 20, but this was realistically just because they were taking their kids to different activities, not because of any marriage troubles. A few TikTokers have also suggested that Mila moved out of their home, but there’s no evidence to suggest this is true. Mila and Ashton have not yet responded to the (unfounded) speculation.

Although it’s unclear where exactly they stand today, Ashton and Diddy have had a decades-long friendship. They met back in the early 2000s when they both had shows on MTV — Ashton was working on Punk’d and Diddy was working on Making the Band. “Our relationship is really bizarre,” Ashton said about Diddy during a resurfaced 2019 appearance on Hot Ones. “It started over Punk’d because he was like, ‘Yo, you can’t punk me!’ I was like, “I don’t know what to tell you, everybody is on the table.’ We became fast friends and we used to just hang out, watch football together.”
They also used to party together, and that’s where things get messy: During that same Hot Ones appearance, host Sean Evans asked Ashton for a story about one of Diddy’s famous parties. “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,” the actor said. He paused to think before continuing, “Can’t tell that one either. … I’m actually cycling through them. Diddy party stories, man, that was some weird memory lane thing.”
On September 17, Diddy was indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. According to the indictment, the rapper was accused of abusing women and coercing them to “[fulfill] his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.” He also allegedly organized “Freak Offs,” which were essentially “elaborate and produced sex performances.”
In a statement in December, Diddy called the allegations “sickening” and said, “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.” Diddy pleaded not guilty on September 17 and was denied bail by a New York judge.
There’s a new rumor that Mila and Ashton might be headed to Europe because of the Diddy scandal. A source told In Touch: “Ashton’s so exasperated that once again he’s being dragged through the mud because of his past associations. First it was Danny Masterson and now it’s Diddy, and it’s got him convinced that there are way better places out there to live than Hollywood.” (Ashton and Mila have faced backlash for writing character letters in support of Danny, their That ’70s Show costar who’s a convicted rapist.) According to this source, Ashton thinks “the town is just a cesspool at this point.”

The alleged insider continued, “The only thing stopping them from making the move is work because they do still have a lot of business interests in the U.S. so the concern is that Europe may be too far away.” They claimed that if Europe doesn’t work out, Northern California is also on Ashton’s mind. We’ll just have to see if Mila and Ashton confirm or deny any of these rumors.
