Mila Kunisthinks her daughter would be upset to know Mom forbade Dad from traveling to outer space.
After Ashton Kutcherrevealed earlier this monthhe previously had a ticket to ride in one of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic flights to space but wife Kunis said that the voyage wasn’t a “smart family decision,” she told PEOPLE that itwas probably “selfish” to put her foot downin that case.
Kunis also says squashing the intergalactic dreams contradicts how she now raises her kids — let alone the fact that their daughterWyatt Isabelle, 6, is obsessed with space exploration.
“Here’s the irony: My daughter is in love with space. Right now, if you asked her what does she want to be when she grows up, she’s going to tell you she wants to be an astronaut chef in space. That’s what she wants to be. On the International Space Station, she wants to be the chef and an astronaut,” says Kunis, who also shares sonDimitri Portwood, 4, with Kutcher.

Kunis told PEOPLE she regrets asking Kutcher, 43, to return the ticket in a moment of panic over their family’s future.
“I know I hate it,” she says of the decision now. “Also I’m such a [Star Trekfan]. The fact that I didn’t let him go into space was so selfish of me, but I was a new mom and I was like, ‘You can’t leave me and the babies.’ And so that’s where that decision was made out of. I want everybody to know I probably would have let him to go to space now, but now it’s too late.”

Aside from space, Kunis and Kutcher also have entrepreneurial interests in common. In 2014, Kunis launched her own company, Orchard Farm Productions. She’s now venturing into the male-dominated cryptocurrency industry via a newly popularized digital platform called non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which include unique images, videos or music that fans can purchase.
Kunis’s NFTs, which can only be bought using the Ethereum cryptocurrency, are graphics that grant the owner access to the first episode ofStoner Cats, with more episodes to come.
