Who are Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' children? Duo slammed for saying they don't bathe their kids

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis share 6-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle and son Dimitri Portwood, 4

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have been receiving a lot of criticism online for not bathing their kids regularly. The famous couple claimed that they bathe their six-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle and son Dimitri Portwood, four, only when they can see “the dirt on them”.

Kutcher and Kunis appeared on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast, where they shared their family bathing tradition. Their discussion with the hosts of the show turned towards bath when Shepard told Padman that she “should not be getting rid of the natural oil on your skin with a bar of soap every day” and should only use water to wash. The Hollywood pair agreed with Shepard.

“I can't believe I am in the minority here of washing my whole body in the shower. Who taught you to not wash?” Padman reacted, to which the 37-year-old actress said, “I didn't have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn't shower much anyway.” She continued: “But when I had children, I also didn't wash them every day. I wasn't that parent that bathed my newborns — ever.”

Kutcher then added: “Now, here's the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there's no point.” The 43-year-old actor also said that he “wash my armpits and my crotch daily, and nothing else ever. I got a bar of Lever 2000 that delivers every time. Nothing else,” before concluding, “I do have a tendency to throw some water on my face after a workout to get all the salts out...I do wash my face twice a day.”

But people on the internet did not seem to agree with Kutcher and Kunis’ logic. One user shared a meme and wrote, “when ashton kutcher and mila kunis kids walk into class.” The second one joked, “Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis treat their kids like I treat my jeans.” “Taking a shower or bath once a day to remove dirt, sweat and bacteria is NOT over-cleaning,” the third mentioned.

A person posted a meme and wrote, “When someone is bold enough to open Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s Garage in a Suburban Neighborhood.” Another one stated, “Now I understand the Super Bowl commercial where Mila Kunis was hiding from Ashton Kutcher in the shower as she devoured a bag of Cheetos, because she thought it was the perfect hiding place.” “If I was using a diaper/nappy & spilling milk into my neck and crawling on the floor…I’d pretty much like my parents to bathe me every day thank you! I’ve raised two children & they never missed a bath each day. C’mon it’s just part of daily routine for a baby or small child,” a tweet read.

But there were some who supported Kutcher and Kunis. One of their supporters tweeted, “I'm with them on this. Bathing two little kids everyday is a lot of work. Plus it can really dry out their skin. If they spend the day outside in the dirt then they need a bath, crunchy hair bath (sometimes). Pools Also count.” Another one said, “Biologically they are right. It’s unhealthy to shower or bathe everyday. Soap and shampoos aren’t so healthy for the skin as everyone thinks.” “Look—hygiene hypothesis has suggested that bathing kids too often and/or using antibacterial soap is bad for their immune development and their skin (eczema). “Dirty” kids=reduced rate of allergies, asthma, and childhood illness. That said, if you see dirt on em—bath time,” the third added.
