You wouldn’t expect this from Hollywood’s golden couple, but Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have a unique take on cleanliness in their household. Believe it or not, these two don’t exactly prioritize frequent showers, not just for themselves but also for their kids. In fact, they only wash their kids when they’re visibly dirty. Yep, you heard that right.
During an appearance on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s Armchair Expert podcast back on July 26, Ashton, 43, and Mila, 37, opened up about their parenting style when it comes to cleanliness. They discussed their approach with their daughter Wyatt, 6, and son Dimitri, 4, and it might surprise you. Let’s dive deeper into what they had to say.
Why the Kutcher-Kunis Household Skips Frequent Baths
Mila, known for her role in Bad Moms, revealed that her upbringing in Ukraine played a big role in her views on bathing. “Growing up, I didn’t have access to hot water, so I wasn’t someone who showered all the time anyway,” she explained. Her experience growing up in a different environment shaped her perspective on cleanliness. She continued, “And when I became a mom, I wasn’t one of those parents who bathed their newborns every single day.”

Ashton jumped in to clarify their philosophy further. “Here’s the deal: if you can actually see dirt on them, then sure, clean it off. But otherwise, what’s the point?” he said. Their approach might seem unconventional, but it’s actually backed by medical recommendations. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that children aged 6-11 only need a bath once or twice a week unless they’ve been playing outside, swimming, or have noticeable body odors. So, in a way, Ashton and Mila are doing exactly what the experts recommend!
Ashton and Mila’s Personal Hygiene Habits
But it’s not just their kids who skip the regular baths—Ashton and Mila themselves aren’t huge fans of frequent showers either. Ashton admitted, “I wash my armpits and my crotch every day, and that’s pretty much it. I’ve got this trusty bar of Lever 2000 that never lets me down. Other than that, nothing else gets washed.”
He also shared a little trick he uses after workouts. “I do splash some water on my face to get rid of all the salt buildup,” he added. On the other hand, Mila confessed that she does take care of her face religiously. “I wash my face twice a day to keep it looking fresh and clean,” she said. Clearly, they’ve found a routine that works for them, even if it’s a bit unconventional.
Living Naturally: The Kutcher-Kunis Farmhouse
This power couple’s laid-back approach extends beyond just bathing—it’s part of their overall lifestyle. Ashton and Mila live in a stunning modern farmhouse perched atop a six-acre bluff above Beverly Hills. In a May 2021 profile with Architectural Digest, they shared how they dug a well on their property to irrigate the land and even planted a field of corn during the COVID lockdown. Talk about getting back to nature!
“We wanted the house to look like an old barn that had been here for decades before being converted into a home. But at the same time, we wanted it to feel modern and relevant,” Ashton explained. Their architect, Howard Backen, praised their commitment to sustainability. “Ashton and Mila are really invested in the quality of the soil, the purity of the food they eat, and the water they drink. For them, sustainability and regenerative farming aren’t just buzzwords—they’re a way of life,” he said. So, maybe their relaxed attitude toward bathing is just another part of their eco-friendly lifestyle!
