“If my kids want to start a business, and they have a good business plan, I’ll invest in it,” the Just Married actor said. “But they’re not getting trusts.”

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Want to Raise “Resilient Kids”
While the celebrity couple isn’t shy about sharing their parenting methods, they’re keeping their children out of the limelight for the time being.
“We feel that being public is a personal choice,” Kutcher told Thrive Global Podcast with iHeartRadio in 2017 (via People). “My wife and I have chosen a career where we’re in the public light, but my kids have not so I think they have the right to choose that.”
In an interview with People in 2023, he also stated that “It’s not your job to raise happy kids. It’s your job to raise resilient kids who can find happiness. It’s the blessing of a skinned knee!”
