Mila Kunis says she regrets not letting Ashton Kutcher go to space: 'So selfish of me'

• Ashton Kutcher purchased a Virgin Galactic ticket to fly into space.
• But after he had a baby with Mila Kunis in 2014, she told him it wasn't a "smart family decision."
• Kunis now says she regrets not letting Kutcher fulfil his dream and called herself "selfish."

Mila Kunis says she regrets her decision to convince Ashton Kutcher, her husband, not to go into space.

Kutcher previously told Cheddar's Kristen Scholer that he had a ticket reserved on a Virgin Galactic flight, which he told Kunis about in 2012 shortly after they began dating.

Kutcher said Kunis told him "it was not a smart family decision" to go into space after the birth of their daughter, Wyatt, in October 2014.

But in an interview with People (via Yahoo), Kunis said she had come to regret her stance about Kutcher's dream to go to space.

"I was all so hormonal and I was like: 'You can't, you're going to die. That thing's going to explode and you're going to die - and you're going to leave me with the babies,'" Kunis said.

The "Black Swan" and "Family Guy" actor now says she "hates" having taken away Kutcher's dream.

"The fact that I didn't let him go into space was so selfish of me," she said, "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."

Kunis said if her husband asked again, she "probably would have let him to go space now, but now it's too late."

It may not be too late according to Kutcher, though. In his interview with Scholer, he said: "At some point, I'm going to space." He reportedly purchased his ticket for $200,000 in 2012.

It's a real possibility that Kutcher, like many others, could venture into space one day. Last weekend, Virgin Galactic flew a full crew, including Virgin Group's billionaire founder, Richard Branson, to the edge of space, 55 miles above Earth, for the first time.

Virgin Galactic also said it wanted to start flying out up to 400 flights a year and hoped to take customers on the spaceflights as soon as the beginning of next year. More than 700 people, including celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Elon Musk, have reserved seats, which are worth up to $250,000.
