Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are not breaking up, despite online rumors, a source tells PEOPLE.
“This is absolutely ridiculous and false,” the source says in response to online chatter claiming the couple are separating amid renewed speculation over Kutcher’s past friendship with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Earlier this week, old photos of Kutcher and Combs — who was arrested on Sept. 16 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and a transportation to engage in prostitution — partying together also resurfaced on social media. (Diddy, 54, has pleaded not guilty, but has been denied bail twice.)
Adds another source: “Ashton has no involvement in any of this. He doesn’t belong in this conversation about Diddy. Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media.”
Kutcher, 46, and Kunis, 41, met as costars on the set of That ’70s Show, which ran from 1998 to 2006 on Fox, and they began dating in early 2012. At the time, Kutcher had recently divorced Demi Moore, while Kunis had split from longtime partner Macaulay Culkin.
Kunis and Kutcher tied the knot in July 2015, and welcomed two children together: daughter Wyatt, 9, and son Dimitri, 7.

Kutcher spoke with PEOPLE about parenting at the premiere of his movie Your Place or Mine in February 2023. “For me, the No. 1 role I will ever play is father,” the actor said at the time. “It’s the most important role in my life.”
Earlier this year, the couple took their kids to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in London, where Kunis and Kutcher were spotted by fans singing and dancing together in the crowd.
In June 2023, Kutcher shared a tribute to his wife on social media, alongside a photo of the Luckiest Girl Alive actress. The photo featured Kunis standing in front of a blue ocean during a tropical getaway with a mountain range in the background. She held her arms out wide and stretched toward the sky as a rainbow lined up behind her.
“I’m the luckiest man alive,” the actor captioned his post. “#gratitude.”
