O casal favorito dos fãs Ashton Kutcher e Mila Kunis construiu sua casa com tema de celeiro do zero. Aqui está uma olhada em sua residência em Los Angeles, que lembra um antigo celeiro onde eles criam alegremente seus dois filhos.
O casal de Hollywood Ashton Kutcher e sua esposa Mila Kunis certamente sabem como fazer uma casa de fazenda parecer grandiosa. O casal pode ser dono do maior e mais deslumbrante celeiro da história de Hollywood.
O casal, que se casou em 2015, supostamente trabalhou por cinco anos para montar sua casa em Los Angeles, construída no topo de uma propriedade de seis acres. Com a ajuda do arquiteto Howard Backen e da designer de interiores Vicky Charles, o casal construiu sua casa do zero. Aqui está uma olhada na magnífica propriedade da dupla poderosa.
Desde que se mudaram para sua casa estilo celeiro, o casal de primeira linha compartilhou muitos detalhes interessantes sobre o prédio. Kunis revelou uma vez que ela e o marido queriam uma casa, não uma propriedade.
Falando sobre o que ela e Kutcher imaginaram antes de montar o prédio, ela disse :
“Queríamos que a casa parecesse um celeiro antigo, algo que estava aqui há décadas, que foi então convertido em uma casa. Mas também precisava parecer moderno e relevante.”
Antes do projeto de Los Angeles começar, Kunis e seu marido astro de cinema tinham painéis individuais no Pinterest para ajudar a marcar o que eles queriam ver em sua casa. No final, seus gostos acabaram sendo quase os mesmos.
Eles contrataram o arquiteto Backen para construir sua casa de fazenda perfeita depois de descobrir que ele havia projetado a maioria das casas que eles marcaram. Enquanto isso, as estrelas da lista A são gratas por seus interesses compartilhados, como Kunis uma vez apontou :
“Construir uma casa do zero não é pouca coisa. Isso ou nos faria ou nos destruiria.”
No entanto, Kunis e o ator de “No Strings Attached” não construíram uma casa apenas para satisfazer seu interesse. Eles queriam fazer algo adequado para seus filhos.
Kunis estava grávida do primeiro filho do casal quando a construção começou e, apesar dos detalhes luxuosos, a casa foi projetada para ser totalmente familiar.
Para Kunis e Kutcher, sua casa era um lugar de tranquilidade. Kutcher falou sobre o edifício de Los Angeles e expressou : “Se o mundo ao seu redor não estiver em ordem, é difícil colocar seu cérebro em ordem. Quando estamos em nossa casa, o mundo simplesmente faz sentido.”
Construir uma casa tão amigável e acolhedora quanto sua casa estilo celeiro em Los Angeles era essencial para o casal.
A estrutura ostenta mesas impecavelmente feitas sob medida e assentos luxuosos e superconfortáveis. O designer de interiores, Charles of Charles & Co., também criou uma imagem de casa impressionante.
Charles acrescentou que também há elementos de sua antiga residência na arquitetura refinada da nova casa. Falando sobre a casa durante uma entrevista virtual no “Live With Kelly and Ryan”, Kunis falou sobre seu antigo lustre pendurado no centro da sala onde ela estava sentada no clipe do YouTube.

Mila Kunis disse que não gostava do lustre em sua antiga casa, mas ela e Ashton Kutcher tornaram a obra de arte menos desagradável ao projetar sua nova casa em torno dele.
Embora o casal tenha compartilhado um pouco de sua casa, eles são muito reservados sobre sua vida familiar e nunca postam fotos de seus dois filhos online.
No entanto, eles frequentemente levam sua filha, Wyatt Isabelle, e seu filho, Dimitri Portwood , para eventos públicos. Ambos os pais adoram mimar seus filhos e discutir as alegrias da paternidade em suas entrevistas.
Ao comparecer à estreia de seu filme da Netflix, “Your Place or Mine”, Kutcher disse que seus filhos são sua maior prioridade. “Para mim, o papel número 1 que desempenharei é ser pai. É o papel mais importante da minha vida”, ele admitiu uma vez .
O ator de “Ted” revelou que aceitou de bom grado uma redução no salário para realocar a produção para mais perto de sua casa e família.

Seja servindo como líder do grupo de escoteiros de seu filho ou contribuindo para inspirar as crianças com suas metas de condicionamento físico, o ator reconhece o impacto que suas decisões e as de Kunis têm no futuro deles.

Além disso, ele expressou: “Não tenho arrogância sobre a noção de que tenho qualquer controle sobre o que eles escolhem fazer. Só espero poder torná-los realmente bons tomadores de decisão.”

Kunis e Kutcher se envolvem em discussões significativas com seus filhos sobre sua herança. Em uma entrevista em março de 2022, a atriz de “Friends with Benefits” mencionou o que ela e Kutcher transmitiram aos filhos:
“Parecia que da noite para o dia nós dois nos voltamos para nossos filhos e pensamos: ‘Você é meio ucraniano, meio americano’. Isso virou uma coisa instantaneamente, e eles disseram: ‘É, entendi, mãe’.”

Ela disse : “Mas, no fim das contas, é incrivelmente importante saber de onde você veio. É lindo, é incrível ter múltiplas culturas. É uma coisa linda de se ter por aí. Não deveríamos ser todos iguais. Não deveríamos pensar todos iguais. Essa não é a importância da comunidade e do crescimento.”
Kutcher conheceu a mulher que mais tarde se tornaria sua esposa e mãe de seus dois filhos no set de “That 70s Show”, que foi ao ar de 1998 a 2006. O casal estrelou como os amantes na tela Jackie e Michael.

Enquanto interpretavam Jackie e Michael, os dois se beijaram , e Kutcher revelou mais tarde em uma entrevista que foi a primeira vez que Kunis beijou um homem. Quando Kutcher deixou o show, ele continuou em contato com Kunis, que admitiu ter uma queda pelo ator durante uma entrevista em 2001.
Falando sobre o relacionamento dela e do ator em 2016, a atriz disse que eles se procuravam constantemente, mas era só isso.

De fato, Kunis e Kutcher são pais dedicados, donos de uma linda casa, que deram ao público uma visão de sua vida cotidiana.
My Controlling MIL Stole My Dog Because She Didn’t Trust Me as a Mom — Here’s How I Took Back Control
My controlling MIL became unbearable after I gave birth, but I hit my limit when she stole the family dog, claiming it was a threat to the baby. I gave my husband an ultimatum that shattered family ties, but a bittersweet reunion years later healed us.
There’s a kind of quiet that only happens when a baby sleeps. I sat on the sofa, cradling my coffee cup while Bear, our Newfoundland, sprawled across the rug beside the bassinet.

Bear had been my shadow for five years, ever since my husband brought him home as an anniversary gift for me. Now, he’d just expanded his watchlist to include our newborn, Sophie.
Sophie stirred in the crib, her tiny fist punching the air. I sighed, setting my cup down and crossing the room.
“Hang on, sweet pea,” I murmured, peeking over the crib’s edge.
Bear nudged my leg, and I couldn’t help but laugh as I realized he’d brought me Sophie’s burp cloth from the sofa.

“Okay, clever boy,” I said, holding the drool-soaked burp cloth at arm’s length. “We’ve got to get your drool situation under control before she starts crawling. Deal?”
His tail wagged, and I swear it was a yes.
And then, like a sudden thundercloud, the front door opened. The sound of heels on hardwood made my stomach clench. I didn’t even have to look up.

Karen breezed into the room, her eyes immediately locking onto Bear and the drool-soaked burp cloth in my hand. Karen’s expression twisted in distaste.
“You’re letting that thing slobber all over the baby’s things?” she said, gesturing wildly. “That’s unsanitary! At least put the dog outside.”
“Bear’s fine,” I said evenly, crossing to the laundry basket to grab a clean burp cloth. “He’s not hurting anyone.”

Karen sniffed, her gaze sweeping the room like a TSA agent at an airport. “A big dog like that doesn’t belong anywhere near a baby. You think it’s cute now, but wait until he gets between you and the baby. You don’t know what he’s capable of.”
That one hit harder than I expected. My chest tightened, but I forced a laugh. “Bear? Dangerous? He’s a giant marshmallow.”
“Exactly,” Karen said, crossing her arms. “He’s too big. You don’t understand how dangerous dogs can be — it only takes one second for something to go wrong.”

The door opened again, and thank God, my husband, Tom, walked in, shrugging off his coat.
“Hey, everyone,” he said, his grin fading slightly as he took in the scene. “What’s going on?”
Karen turned to him with the air of a woman making a dramatic announcement. “We were just discussing the dog. He needs to go, Tom. It’s only a matter of time before he harms the baby.”
“Mom,” Tom interrupted, holding up his hands. “The worst Bear’s gonna do is slobber Sophie to death.”

Karen muttered something under her breath and started rearranging the baby things. She loudly criticized the state of our home and tried to snatch Sophie out of my arms when I started burping her after her feed.
“That’s not how you burp a baby!” She cried.
Bear let out a low woof, and Karen dramatically retreated from him.
“See? I told you he was dangerous. Put the dog outside right now, or better yet, get rid of him!”

This carried on for two weeks! Karen called or showed up unannounced every day, and every day, she fired off criticism like an army sniper. It was driving me crazy. And every time I mentioned it to Tom, he brushed it off.
“She’s just being protective,” he’d say. “Her heart’s in the right place.”
But today, Karen was back, and the tension in the house could’ve snapped like a rubber band. She glared at Bear in his usual spot, then did something completely out of bounds.

She marched over to Bear, grabbed his collar, and yanked on it. “You’re going outside right now!”
Bear dug his heels in and growled low in his throat.
“Let him be! He won’t allow you to take him away from Sophie.”
“He’s far too possessive,” she hissed, her voice like nails on a chalkboard. “It’s dangerous.”
“Bear is protecting her,” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. “You’re the one antagonizing him, Karen.”

“Enough!” Her tone dripped with authority, like she was addressing a rebellious teenager. “I’m only thinking of Sophie’s safety. You’ll thank me one day.”
When she finally left, I stood on the porch, clutching Sophie to my chest while Bear sat at my feet. I watched Karen’s car disappear down the street and sighed.
“Guess we’ll have to talk to Dad about Grandma, huh?” I murmured to Sophie.
I carried Sophie inside and set her down for a nap.

Bear settled beside her crib like usual, his head resting on his paws. I ruffled his fur and whispered, “Good boy,” before heading to the kitchen to start dinner.
An hour later, Tom came home. He kissed me on the cheek, kicked off his shoes, and headed straight for Sophie’s room.
A moment later, his voice called out, tense and confused. “Where’s Bear?”
I frowned, wiping my hands on a dish towel. “What do you mean? He’s with Sophie.”
“No, he’s not. He’s — he’s gone.”

The words knocked the air out of me. I rushed to Sophie’s room, my stomach twisting with dread. The sight of Bear’s empty spot beside her crib sent my heart plummeting.
“Maybe he’s in the backyard,” Tom suggested, already heading for the sliding door.
We searched the entire house, calling Bear’s name until our voices cracked, but he wasn’t there.

Tom went out to search the neighborhood while I dialed every animal shelter in town, stumbling over my words as I described Bear. Nobody had seen him.
When Tom returned, his face was pale and drawn. He took one look at me and sank onto the sofa.
“First thing tomorrow, we’ll print posters and hang them up around town,” he said.
I stayed up long after Tom went to bed, pacing the living room.

My thoughts raced, darting between every awful possibility. And then, like a thunderclap, the thought struck me: Karen.
It made sense except for one detail: how? I’d watched her leave. There was no way she could have taken him without me seeing. And could she really stoop so low? Could anyone?
I wanted to wake Tom, but the words felt too damning to speak. So I stayed silent, the fear and suspicion curling around me like a storm cloud.

Karen showed up unannounced the next morning, as she often did. My stomach twisted as I opened the door and saw her standing there with her polished smile. I immediately told her about Bear and asked if she’d watch Sophie while we put up posters.
“Of course, I’ll watch Sophie! And don’t worry so much about the dog. It’s probably for the best, dear,” she said breezily.
Her words hit me like a slap, but I forced myself to stay calm.
“We’ll be back soon,” I said, grabbing my coat.

As Tom and I drove through the neighborhood, stapling posters to light poles and taping them to storefront windows, Karen’s words echoed in my mind. “It’s for the best.” What did she mean by that? Did she know something?
When we got home, Karen was in the rocking chair, humming softly as Sophie slept in her arms. She looked up as we walked in; her smile serene and unbothered. But I couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“Where is he?” I asked, my voice sharp. “What did you do to Bear?”

Karen blinked, her face a mask of innocence. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Yes, you do,” I said, my hands balling into fists. “Don’t play dumb, Karen.”
She sighed dramatically and set Sophie down in the crib. “Fine! Yes, I took him. Someone had to think of Sophie’s safety since clearly you won’t. You’re too blinded by your emotions to make the right decisions.”
Tom stepped forward, his voice low. “Mom… please tell me you didn’t.”

Karen’s chin jutted out defiantly. “I did what had to be done. He’s at a shelter now. Somewhere you won’t find him, so you can’t bring him back here to endanger my granddaughter.”
The room spun. I didn’t even realize I was crying until Tom touched my shoulder.
“You had no right,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “He’s part of our family. Sophie loves him. You… you need to get out of my sight, right now, Karen, before I do something I regret.”

For the first time, Karen looked truly shocked. But she straightened her shoulders, collected her bag, and left without another word. The sound of the door slamming echoed through the house, but it didn’t bring any relief. Only silence.
That night, the house was unbearably quiet. Tom sat at the dining table, looking up shelters on his phone. His jaw was tight, and his fingers tapped restlessly against the screen. I stood by the sink, gripping the edge of the counter as anger and heartbreak churned in my chest.
“She’s never going to stop, Tom,” I said, breaking the silence.

My voice trembled with exhaustion, but I forced the words out. “She’s never going to respect me — or us.”
Tom sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “I know she went too far this time, but… she’s protective. She thought she was doing the right thing.”
I turned to face him, my eyebrows shooting up in disbelief. “The right thing? She stole Bear! And she’s not protective, she’s controlling. She’s manipulative. And you keep making excuses for her like it’s okay. It’s not.”
“She’s my mom,” he said quietly, as if that excused everything. “She just wants what’s best for Sophie.”

I felt the dam inside me break, and the words spilled out in a rush. “This isn’t just about Bear, Tom. It’s about her always treating me like I’m not good enough. And you; you sit there and let her do it. You play devil’s advocate while she undermines me, over and over again.”
He opened his mouth to respond, but I cut him off, stepping closer. “If you won’t stand up for me and our family, then we’re done. I mean it, Tom. I can’t do this anymore.”
Tom’s eyes widened, and for a moment, he looked like I’d slapped him.

“You’re right,” he said softly, his voice thick with regret. “I’ve been an idiot. I thought I was keeping the peace, but all I’ve done is let her poison everything. I’m sorry.”
I stared at him, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. “So, what are you going to do about it?”
He hesitated, but only for a moment. “No more visits. No more calls. I’ll tell her she has one chance to fix this, and unless she tells us where she took Bear, we’re going no-contact.”
I nodded, my throat too tight to speak, and Tom pulled me into his arms. I let myself sink into his embrace, the weight of the past weeks finally starting to lift.

Two years later
Karen never told us where she took Bear, so we cut all ties with her and started fresh in a neighboring city.
Sophie had grown into a curious, talkative toddler, and Tom and I were closer than ever. Still, Bear’s loss lingered like a dull ache. His photos hung on the walls, and Sophie would sometimes point to them, asking, “Doggy? Where doggy?”
The grief never really went away. We’d talked about getting another dog, but nothing felt right. Bear wasn’t just a pet; he was family.

One crisp fall afternoon, Sophie and I went to the park. Sophie toddled beside me, clutching a bag of breadcrumbs for the ducks. We stopped by the pond, and she giggled as the ducks quacked and flapped their wings.
“Look, Sophie,” I said, pointing to a group of people flying kites nearby.
The colorful shapes danced against the sky, and I smiled, expecting her to squeal with excitement. But when I turned back to her, she was gone.
My heart stopped.

My eyes darted around the park, and then I saw her close to the edge of the pond, reaching for a waddling duck.
“Sophie!” I screamed, sprinting toward her.
She stumbled, her tiny foot catching on the uneven ground. I realized with a sickening jolt that I wasn’t going to reach her in time.
Before I could process what was happening, a blur of dark fur shot past me, barking loudly. Even in my panic, I recognized that bark immediately.

The massive dog reached Sophie in seconds, gripping the back of her shirt gently in his teeth and pulling her away from the water’s edge. My breath caught in my throat.
“Bear?” I whispered, my legs giving out beneath me as I fell to my knees. “Oh my God… Bear!”
He turned, his big brown eyes meeting mine, and his tail wagged so hard it sent leaves flying. He bounded toward me, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, sobbing into his fur.

Sophie squealed with delight, hugging Bear’s side as he licked her face. His tail thumped against the ground, and I laughed through my tears, unable to believe what I was seeing.
A man and woman came running over, their faces pale with worry.
“Cooper!” the woman called. “Oh, thank God.”
They stopped short when they saw us, their expressions a mix of relief and confusion. Bear licked my cheek, then broke free of my embrace and ran over to them.
“Is that… your dog?” I asked, my voice trembling.

The man nodded. “We adopted him from a shelter a couple of years ago.”
My heart twisted painfully. “He used to be my dog, but then…” I broke off as I started sobbing all over again. “Thank you for giving him a home. I can see… he loves you very much. For two years, I’ve worried about what happened to him, but now… now I know he’s okay.”
We exchanged numbers, and they invited us to visit him whenever we wanted. As Bear trotted away with his new family, Sophie waved, her little voice ringing out: “Bye-bye, Doggy!”

Though it hurt to let him go, I knew he was happy. For the first time in years, I felt a sense of peace. Bear had found his place, and so had we.
