Mila Kunis claims she regrets convincing her husband, Ashton Kutcher, not to go into space.

After convincing her husband Ashton, 43, that being a space tourist wasn’t a good idea after the couple had two children together – Wyatt, six, and Dimitri, four – the ‘Family Guy’ actor now regrets forcing her husband to cancel his Virgin Galactic flight ticket.

The “Bad Moms” star, 37, was a new mom at the time and worried that something bad would happen to her children’s father.

Ashton said in a recent interview with Cheddar News that he paid $200,000 for a ticket to join Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic spacecraft into orbit in 2012.

After the birth of their daughter, Wyatt, in October 2014, Kutcher claims Kunis warned him that going into space was “it was not a smart family decision”

“Years goes by then all of a sudden we have a baby and he’s like, ‘I’m going into space.’ And I was like, ‘That’s irresponsible, you cannot have … This is not what you do. You are a father.’ I was all so hormonal and I was like, ‘You can’t, you’re going to die. The thing’s going to explode and you’re going to die — and you’re going to leave me with the babies.’ ”

Kunis now claims she regrets depriving him of his goal.

“I know I hate it,” she said of the decision in the interview. “Also I’m such (a ‘Star Trek’ fan). 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.”

If her husband had asked again, Kunis claimed she “probably would have let him to go space now, but now it’s too late.”

Mila’s remarks came just days after the couple divulged additional intimate details about their family life, raising eyebrows when they claimed that they don’t bathe their children unless they can “see the dirt on them.”

Kutcher, like many others, has a legitimate chance of going into space one day. For the first time, Virgin Galactic flew a full crew, including Virgin Group’s billionaire founder, Richard Branson, to the edge of space, 55 miles above Earth last weekend.

That’s not the only piece of advice she wishes she could take back from her spouse, whom she’s been married to since 2015. Kunis also said on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that she regrets attempting to steer him away from early investments in Uber and Bitcoin.

Before passengers can pay a minimum of $250,000 for a ticket on a journey to space, Virgin will complete two more test flights. Commercial flights are scheduled to begin in 2022.
