The love shared in Mila Kunis and husband Ashton Kutcher's tight-knit familyâwhich includes 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitriâknows no boundaries.
So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.
"That includes the bathroom," she told E! News in September 2022. "It's just one of those where, for better or for worse, as a family and the kids have all kind of embodied bodily function as a very standard norm."
Mila said she arrived at the decision after her family kept knocking on the door and asking to come in, which prompted her to oblige: "I was like, âOh, forget it. Just keep the door open.'"
Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she'd flush that particular boundary away.
She added, "I'd never thought that I would be the person that was able to go to the bathroom with the door open."

Back before the world knew Chris Evans as Captain America and People's Sexiest Man Alive of 2022, Jana Kramer knew him as the "heartthrob, cutie" she went on a few dates with.
It happened more than a decade ago, the singer revealed on her Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast in November, and though she can't remember "how many dates it was," she does recall their last encounter.
Jana, then about 26 years old, said Chris invited her over to his house while he had friends in town from Boston.
"The last interaction that I remember is him going into the bathroom after I just went with asparagus pee," Jana remembered, referencing the veggie's tendency to give urine a very distinct scent. "We didn't hook up that night. He stayed up late with his friends and then [in] the morning I did the asparagus walk of shame out of his house."
She added, "I never heard from him again."

Telling The New York Times the lengths she would go to for a more youthful appearance, the reality star cracked that she was willing to try just about anything.

In a July 2022 interview with Allure, Kim said she was "kind of joking" about the comment, though the idea didn't seem too terrible.
"But now that I think about it," Kim added, "I would probably eat s--t if someone told me, âIf you eat this bowl of poop every single day, you'll look younger.'"
How much could she make room for? "Maybe just a bite," she told the outlet. "I don't think I can do a whole bowl."
