Mila Kunis & Macaulay Culkin SPLIT: Breakup For Actor & Actress

Culkin Kunis

The dance is over. After quietly dating for eight years, Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin have quietly ended their relationship.

"The split was amicable, and they remain close friends," a Kunis rep told the New York Post. The paper also reported that the pair ended things a while back, but kept it quiet while Kunis promoted her Golden Globe-nominated film.

Culkin, 30, the beloved child star of 'Home Alone,' began dating 'Black Swan' star Kunis, 27, in 2002, when she starred in both 'That 70's Show' and 'Family Guy.' Culkin has stated that his love for the animated show helped begin their relationship.

In 2006, rumors spread that the couple was engaged. Kunis flatly denied that to Parade Magazine in 2007, but she did open up about how healthy and loving their relationship was at the time.

"We're incredibly private, and I think we relish the privacy we do actually have and are able to sustain it," she said. "We enjoy each other's company. We like to read books or play video games or watch TV or go to the movies. And he's an amazing cook. He makes dinner every night."

At the time, Kunis raved about Culkin:

"There are a lot of things people want him to be that he's not," Kunis continued. "He's an amazing, simple guy, who is probably the most brilliant person I've ever met. He's so, so smart and so aware and so kind and so sweet. Unfortunately, that's not what people want him to be, so they write stuff."

Even in 2009, Kunis spoke of how the pair worked through their problems.

"You find a steady rock in your life and that's all you need. We have our ups and downs, but work through them," she told Women's Health Magazine.

Culkin married actress Rachel Miner in 1998, but the pair separated in 2000 and were divorced in 2002.

Culkin/Kunis: Biggest "no-brainer" of the century. What was the source of this report? "Journal of the Incredibly Obvious and Inevitable?"

No big deal.

After having gone down on Natalie Portman, wouldn't YOU want to break up with Macauley Culkin??
04:20 PM on 01/05/2011
Culkin is one of the finest actors of our generation. View his sinister turn as a homicidal maniac in "The Good Son", or his tragic portrayal of a young lad in love who has an unfortunate encounter with a beehive in "My Girl". Kunis was holding him back, and now he's ready for his grand return.

Are you crazy...she's been holding him down...for what.... so he could cook her dinner everynight. He's over!!!!! If she's smart she'll take this opportunity to grow and learn to be a better actress. She's great in comedy....no one could have played jackie burkhardt better than Mila in That 70s Show. Hope she does Ted...with MacFarlane, Sulkin and Wild writing it should be really funny and she needs that right now...other movies she's been in weren't very good and she didn't have much of a part Black Swan. Just being beautiful and popular in Hollywood just doesn't cute it for longevity. I would have liked to have seen much more dancing in Black Swan. Ending is Best!!.

Honestly, I never knew that the two of them were dating. Now in retrospective, I have to applaud him though, that he didn't even try to use their relationship to gain some celebritiy status again...

It seems like he's done with all that.  Aside from doing a few voices for Robot Chicken (Mila was on there since the start, I think), I think he's done very little.
05:59 PM on 01/05/2011
He was really good in Party Monster. But since then he has done really small roles or complete and total indie films like Sex and Breakfast.
03:28 PM on 01/05/2011
It seems it took her a real long time to realize that she could do way, way better.. Then again I don't know him.. maybe he has good qualities despite being unemployed

That's "haz". And yes you can.

Maybe she realized she was Lesbian after kissing Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Nothing wrong with that; it's natalie Portman after all, it's a great awakening regardless loll

OR Maybe she realized that because you're an actor or actress, you can kiss and mix with people (as she did with Justin Timberlake in their so called "movie") and you don't need to be with nobody...eh!!!

Anyway.More power to them

From what I've heard, they're both into World of Warcraft.
 
Maybe Culkin wanted to start playing a horde character.  I can easily see a couple breaking up over that.

I can't decide if she's hot, or Fran Drescher.

She's hot!
Fran Drescher's voice is like a double does of salt peter while taking a cold shower!
01:27 PM on 01/05/2011
Definitely hot! She's why I watch "That 70's Show"...I agree with Igor, Fran's voice gives me that rare Irish disease, where Peter goes to Dublin...
