Personal life
Kunis attending the Marine Corps Ball in 2011
Kunis began dating actor Macaulay Culkin in 2002.[173][174] During their relationship, there were rumors of the couple getting married, but Kunis denied them.[175] On January 3, 2011, Kunis's publicist confirmed reports that Kunis and Culkin had ended their relationship, saying, "The split was amicable, and they remain close friends."[173]Kunis began dating her former That '70s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher in April 2012.[176][177] They became engaged in February 2014,[178] and married during the first weekend of July 2015 in Oak Glen, California.[179] The couple have two children: a daughter, Wyatt, born in October 2014[180][181] and a son, Dimitri, born in November 2016.[182] The family resides in a sustainable farmhouse, designed by the couple and architect Howard Backen, in Beverly Hills.[183]
In January 2011, she revealed her struggle with chronic iritis that had caused temporary blindness in one eye. Some months earlier she had had surgery that corrected the problem.[184]Kunis also has heterochromia iridum, a condition in which the irises are different colors. Her left eye is brown, while her right eye is green.[155] On September 14, 2011,the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced it was investigating the alleged hacking of Kunis's cellphone and email accounts, along with those of other celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson and Vanessa Hudgens.[185][186][187] Christopher Chaney from Jacksonville, Florida, later pleaded guilty in federal court to nine counts of computer hacking.[188]
In November 2011, Kunis was escorted by Sgt. Scott Moore to a U.S. Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina. She had accepted Moore's invitation in July after he posted it as a YouTube video while serving with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, in Afghanistan's Helmand province. The event celebrated the Marine Corps' 236th anniversary.[189]
Kunis is a supporter of the Democratic Party.[190] In a 2012 interview, she criticized the Republican Party, saying: "The way that Republicans attack women is so offensive to me. And the way they talk about religion is offensive. I may not be a practicing Jew, but why we gotta talk about Jesus all the time?"[161] In 2017, Kunis disclosed that she had been making monthly donations to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence's name.[191] In April 2020, Kunis and Kutcher developed their own wine, named Quarantine Wine, with 100% of the proceeds going to aid during the COVID-19 pandemic.[192] The following year they launched Outside Wine, a blend of red wine, whose profits would benefit The Skate Park Project and Thorn.org.[193]
In 2022, Kunis and Kutcher started a gofundme page to help two online companies (Airbnb and Flexport) to aid refugees fleeing the violence in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They raised three million dollars out of their thirty million dollar goal as of March 4, 2022. These two organizations are on the ground helping people in Poland and Romania. The couple promised to match the funding.[194][195][196]
2013–present: Comedic roles
In 2013, Kunis played Theodora, the youngest of threewitches, oppositeJames Franco, in the Walt Disney Pictures' prequel, Oz the Great and Powerful.[105][106] She dedicated her performance in the film to Margaret Hamilton, theoriginal Wicked Witch of the Westin the 1939 film.[107] The film, and Kunis's performance, received mixed reviews from critics.[108] Kim Newman of Empire Magazine wrote that Kunis "walks away with the honours as the wavering witch Theodora, whose heartbreak brings another, less-expected depth to this 3D spectacle".[109] In contrast, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter found Kunis's performance to be uncertain as her character seemed to be in a state of limbo.[110] Oz the Great and Powerful was a commercial success, grossing over $493 million worldwide.[111]
Also in 2013, Kunis co-starred in the crime thriller Blood Ties with Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, and Marion Cotillard.[112] The film premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and had a limited release in the United States in 2014.[113] Blood Ties received mixed reviews.[114] Kunis was also cast in the comedy The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, alongside Robin Williams and Peter Dinklage.[115] The film had a limited theatrical and VOD release[116] and received poor reviews.[117] The Paul Haggis-directed film Third Person co-starring with Liam Neeson, Olivia Wildeand James Franco[118] premiered at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival[119] and had a limited release in 2014, but also received mostly negative reviews.[120] Kunis's performance was praised by some critics; Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that her role gives her "enormous room to express her talent" and she "gives her story a shot of raw intensity".[121] In October 2014, it was announced Kunis, along with her partners, had launched a new production company called Orchard Farm Productions. The company has a first-look deal with ABC Studios, where the company is based. Under the agreement, the team will develop and produce TV projects for broadcast and cable.[122] In 2015, Kunis co-starred with Channing Tatum in the science fiction film Jupiter Ascending, directed by the Wachowskis.[123][124] While the film grossed over $183.9 million on a $176 million budget,[125] it received mostly negative reviews, with a consensus that the production was "narratively befuddled" and a "visually thrilling misfire".[126]
Kunis co-starred with Kristen Bell and Christina Applegate in the comedy Bad Moms, which was released July 29, 2016.[127] It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the cast and humor, though did not feel it could "take full advantage of its assets".[128] Chris Nashawaty from Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Kunis manages to be both sympathetic and funny, and she has crack comedic timing".[129] The film went on to earn more than $183.9 million with a budget of $20 million.[130] Following the financial success of Bad Moms, STX Entertainment reunited Kunis with her co-stars Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn for a sequel, A Bad Moms Christmas, which was released on November 1, 2017.[131][132] It went on to receive mixed reviews[133] and gross over $130 million worldwide with a budget of $28 million.[134]
In 2018, Kunis co-starred with Kate McKinnon in the comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me. The film received mixed reviews[135] and went on to gross over $75 million worldwide with a budget of $40 million.[136] Kunis co-starred with Glenn Close in the film Four Good Days. Principal photography began in September 2019 in Los Angeles,[137] and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2020.[138] The film received mixed reviews[139] but Kunis was praised for her performance, with Pete Hammond from Deadline Hollywood stating Kunis was "a revelation" in the role,[140] while Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times concluded her performance "represents the finest work she has done".[141] In 2021, she co-starred with Allison Janney and Regina Hall in Breaking News in Yuba County, which was filmed in Mississippi.[142] The film was released February 12, 2021,[143] and received negative reviews from critics.[144] Kunis is slated to produce and star in a Netflix film adaptation of Luckiest Girl Alive based on the Jessica Knoll novel of the same name.[145]
In the media
Kunis for a spread in Esquire magazine in 2012
In 2007, Kunis participated in a video for the website Funny or Die appearing alongside James Franco. The video was a parody of the MTV show The Hills and was a huge success for the website, with 2.4 million views over the next ten years.[146] Shawn Levy, director of Date Night, stated that part of what made him decide to castKunis with James Franco in the film was the chemistry he felt they had in the Funny or Die video.[147] In December 2008, Kunis was featured in Gap's "Shine Your Own Star" Christmas campaign.[148] In 2010, she was featured in the "Women We Love" segment in Esquire with an accompanied video.[149] Kunis was among several female stars photographed by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams in conjunction with the Calvin Klein Collections for a feature titled American Women 2010, with the proceeds from the photographs donated to the NYC AIDS foundation.[150] During the summer of 2010 Kunis served with Randy Jackson as the Master of Ceremonies for the 9th AnnualChrysalis FoundationBenefit. The Chrysalis Foundation is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization formed to help economically disadvantaged and homeless individuals to become self-sufficient through employment opportunities.[151]
“It’s fun to play somebody who has no boundaries or rules. There’s no book you can read on how to play a witch, so you just create a version. It’s really great!”

Witchcraft and Magic in Russian and Ukrainian Lands before 1900
When you think of a witch, what do you imagine? Probably what comes to mind is not a Russian trapper in far eastern Siberia with a set of written spells tucked into his belt, meant to win him success in hunting and trapping and seducing women. And not an Orthodox priest who equipped himself with a spell meant to win the love of his superiors. Equally far from stock images of witchcraft is a military recruit who, in the mid-eighteenth century, at the acme of the Enlightenment, offered to assist the Russian imperial authorities with a bit of herbal magic that would “cover the Prussian king and his entire army with fog and release water and capture the king alive.” Yet all of these cases emerge from the historical record of Russian witchcraft trials.
Magical practice was widespread in the Russian and Ukrainian lands, and we can document the actual spells and rituals practitioners used. In the Russian lands (where men predominated among persecuted sorcerers) and Ukrainian areas (where women predominated among the accused), magical specialists and ordinary people used herbs, potions, spells, and charms to heal individuals, to tell the future, and to make members of the opposite sex lust after them. Women sometimes resorted to magic to abort unwanted pregnancies or to fend off abusive husbands or masters. And still, others sought magical advice for malevolent ends or believed themselves to be the victims of a bewitchment.
When you think of a witch, what do you imagine?
Authorities condemned such witchcraft as evil, criminal, and demonic. However, their ideas about witchcraft were very different from those that circulated in Catholic and Protestant Europe. Orthodox regions didn’t develop mythologies about the Black Sabbaths and satanic orgies that spiced up European witch lore.
Witchcraft and magical belief are alive and well in popular culture today, both as a growing religious denomination and as an endlessly fascinating topic of scholarly works, novels, movies, and television shows. Nods to actual historical witchcraft belief and its persecution lend period color if not profound elements to works as disparate as Harry Potter and American Horror Story. But those historical referents are most commonly drawn from the Anglo-American past. Occasional works take up material from the rest of Europe. But who knows anything about witchcraft belief or persecution further to the east, in the Orthodox realm of Russia and Ukraine?
In this first of its kind collection, the editors have assembled a set of primary source documents on witchcraft belief and practice in the regions that today make up Russia and Ukraine. Many of the materials have never been published in any language before. The texts range from the earliest mentions of witchcraft in the medieval Kyivan chronicles to reports from the early modern Muscovite court about magical attacks on members of the royal family to physicians’ assessments of outbreaks of demonic possession in the nineteenth-century countryside.
Orthodox regions didn’t develop mythologies about the Black Sabbaths and satanic orgies that spiced up European witch lore.
With a particularly rich selection of sources documenting legal conceptions and formal prosecution of accused witches, the collection engages with issues that have contemporary as well as historical relevance. The documents force the reader to consider the deadly power of imaginary ideas when given real world authority. They push us to examine the kinds of “truth” elicited by harsh interrogation and torture. And they encourage us to expand our expectations about how societies are ordered through exposing the imaginary “other,” the witch, that they most feared. The comparison of Ukrainian and Russian traditions reminds us that mental constructs assume radically different shapes in different cultures. It also underscores the extent to which ideas are malleable, not set in stone, and can alter, for good or for ill, over time and place.
Because these materials emerge from religious, social, political, and cultural worlds generally unfamiliar to western readers, the editors have curated the collection, providing introductions to orient readers to the worlds of magic, witchcraft, and the eastern Slavs.

Mila Kunis Parents and Family
Mila Kunis was born on August 14, 1983 in Chernivtsi, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. Elvira Kunis and Mark Kunis are the biological parents of Mila Kunis.
Her mother, Elvira, is a physics teacher who runs a pharmacy, and her father, Mark Kunis, is a mechanical engineer who works as a cab driver. Kunis has an elder brother named Michael. Her mother tongue and the common language within her family is Russian. She stated in 2011 that her parents had “amazing jobs”, and that she “was very lucky” and the family was “not poor”; they had decided to leave the USSR because they saw “no future” there for Mila and her brother. In 1991, when she was seven years old, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, with $250. “That was all we were allowed to take with us. My parents had given up good jobs and degrees, which were not transferable. We arrived in New York on a Wednesday and by Friday morning my brother and I were at school in LA.
