Ashton Kutcher explains how his parenting of his son and daughter has been influenced by toxic masculinity in a different way
The actor shares his daughter Wyatt, 9, and son Dimitri, 7, with wife Mila Kunis
Ashton Kutcher is explaining how outside factors have impacted how he parents his son and daughter.
Appearing on a Thursday, Sept. 5 episode of the Throwbacks podcast, the actor, 46, was asked by cohosts Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara about how he feels being a girl dad. Kutcher shares his daughter Wyatt, 9, and son Dimitri, 7, with wife Mila Kunis, 41.
“I don’t know if it equates to being a girl dad or it equates to her being my first, but when I had my daughter, I had never been so in love in my entire life,” Kutcher shares. “And Mila and I talked about it a lot. Like, I’ve never loved anyone this much. Ever.”
The actor went on to say that he parents his son and daughter “differently,” noting that there’s probably some “toxic masculinity” from his life that contributes to that.
“My son, I’m always like, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.’ Like yesterday, we’re popping wheelies on a bicycle in the driveway or it’s like, ‘See if you can jump down four stairs,’ ” he recalls. “My daughter, I just want to protect her.”
“When my son cries, I’m like, ‘All right, what did we learn? Let’s move on.’ But when my daughter cries, my heart is out of my body and I can’t put it back in,” he continues.
