Oof, yet another uncomfortable Blake Lively interview? Man, these keep coming…

As folks try to suss out who’s really to blame for the It Ends With Us drama, we’re hearing more and more about how unlikely culprit Blake may secretly be a mean girl! There was that one now-infamous interview clip which never aired before about a week ago, in which she essentially fat-shames a woman for bringing up her pregnancy. And worse.

Video: Blake Called Out AGAIN For Using Super Problematic Slur In Old Interview!

This latest one is also when she’s pregnant, innerestingly. This time is from 2014. Speaking to Extra reporter AJ Calloway, she drops some pregnancy hot takes that have folks a decade later doing some double takes. AJ brings up the baby bump, telling Blake:

“How’s it going? My wife is seven months right now, so I know what it’s all like, the feet rubbing.”

Blake responds:

“Oh, she’s just taking advantage.”

She says the feet rubbing is “not necessary” and pregnant women “can exploit it if you want.” She tells AJ he’s a “sucker” for falling for complaints about symptoms:

“We just lie. It’s a perfect way to get what you want all the time. If you want chocolate ice cream at midnight…”

She eventually gives in, “I’m just teasing.” Watch for yourself (below):

Every pregnancy hits everyone differently. Ive had five kids.. and it was all different experiences while pregnant. You can have a completely different experience from someone else without saying shit like this… #blakelively #pregnantcravings #itendswithus #fypage

♬ original sound – Victoria

OK, so she’s kidding. What’s the problem?

A lot of women who have been through pregnancies did NOT appreciate the jokes — because with a JK or not, many men would believe her. Because that’s exactly what they want to hear. And it’s BS! They said:

“She does not speak for this ex pregnant woman and my swollen feet. Also some of us work on our feet 40+ hrs and don’t have the luxury of rest throughout an entire pregnancy.”

“I was on my feet working until I had my son. Yes they hurt, yes my husband rubbed them for me. I’m guessing she lives a pampered life whether pregnant or not so her feet probably aren’t sore.”

“Uhhhh my feet hurt so incredibly bad and no one rubbed my feet. But they did hurt”

“When I was pregnant I wanted mashed potatoes every day. In the two years I’ve had my daughter, I’ve had mashed potatoes 4-5 times. I’m glad I’m finding out cravings aren’t a thing. Thanks Blake.”

These women were triggered, y’all!

Plenty did defend Blake, saying she was just being “sarcastic” and has a “dry humor” people don’t get. However, a lot of commenters also felt like she was fueling the misogynistic POV that women should be quiet and servile. Many referred to her having big “Pearl energy” — referencing the anti-feminist female podcaster who attacks women on behalf of men. They felt she was kidding, but in a way to endear her to men, selling out women.

What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Are folks overreacting on this one? Was it just a joke? Or is she really being Pearl-esque??

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni supposedly could not agree on many things while working on It Ends with Us. But the one thing they were on the same page about? Intimacy coordinators.

As you most likely know, the film is based on Colleen Hoover‘s book of the same name, and it’s all about a relationship between Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid that turns abusive. Given the sensitive topic the feuding co-stars are depicting on screen, the use of intimacy coordinators on set was super important for the safety and comfort of everyone — something both Blake and Justin preached during several separate interviews. For his part, the 40-year-old director told Harper’s Bazaar India last week that he and his team “knew from the very beginning that there was no way we could do this movie without intimacy coordinators” and stunt coordinators.

They hired Lizzy Talbot and Chelsea Cary as their intimacy coordinators, and Lauren Shaw as the stunt coordinator. Justin said:

“It was so important to have them on set — not just so that we could all feel safe, but because they were also incredible collaborators with wonderful ideas that really elevated the film.”

The Jane the Virgin alum noted that the three women really helped him when the “tension” became too much during the filming process:

“When you shoot a film like this, as an actor, all this tension lives in your body. There were times when I had to literally leave the set for a second before the next setup to shake it out or release it as best as I could. Having them on set and always in my eye line was invaluable because at any point I could look to one of them for a thumbs up, or we’d work on another approach together. They were such an important and integral part of our process.”

Justin continued to praise the coordinator’s work at the premiere in New York City earlier this month. You know, the same premiere that helped kick-start those rumors of Blake and the cast FEUDING with the actor as they completely avoided him… allegedly because of his awful on-set behavior. More on that in a moment, though.

Justin told The Hollywood Reporter that he struggled to work on the scenes involving domestic violence:

“There were a lot of times where I would have to go privately into a room and just cry or shake it out and try to get him out of me and that energy out of me, because it’s too real. There are too many people that are the real-life Lily Blooms of the world that have to deal with that every single day, and I wanted it to be as real as possible and yet it was very hard to shoot those scenes.”

What helped him get through those dark scenes? Blake and the “incredible” female coordinators. Justin continued:

“Honestly, between those three women, they really were the ones choreographing and navigating all of those scenes because I needed to play Ryle. In those moments, to be perfectly frank, I really wasn’t the director; it was those women who were in charge. From the beginning I wanted all the intimate scenes to be from a female gaze and I never wanted my bias to potentially interject and go into the film. So I kind of stepped back and felt all the things and allowed myself to do the work and shook it off as best I could.”

Hmm…

As for Blake? The 36-year-old actress — who is also a producer on IEWU — also pointed out how “critical” it was to have intimacy coordinators involved on set. She told Digital Spy on Saturday:

“You coordinate stunts, you coordinate dancing. It is choreography. So to be able to say ‘This is what happens here, here and here’ in a stunt, and ‘This is what happens here, here and here’ in a dance, but ‘Now you guys just go put your bodies together and your mouths and whatever, and action and cut,’ that’s ridiculous. I think that being choreographed is critical for everyone’s safety.”

Unfortunately, it sounds like things still went way too far at times, even with intimacy and stunt coordinators present on set. Since the feud rumors between Justin and Blake started, we’ve heard a lot about his behavior during filming — and he allegedly was very different from the good guy persona fans have come to know and love from him! The filmmaker was allegedly “borderline abusive,” “unprofessional,” and “unapologetic.” A source even claimed Justin was “dismissive” to Blake’s “input” and only focused on “what he believed was the abusive male viewpoint” while working on the scenes of abuse.

That is a far cry from what Justin said about letting the women, including Blake, take the reins in those scenes. We mean, with the way he has talked about domestic abuse during the promo for the film, no one would have ever suspected this from him! Did he have a feeling these claims would come out eventually and tried to get ahead of the scandal as much as possible?

He also allegedly made Blake feel “uncomfortable” about her postpartum body, even reportedly going so far as to fat-shame her! The allegations only get worse from here. TMZ sources further claimed the Gossip Girl alum once felt Justin lingered too long with a kiss during filming.

Justin apparently couldn’t “shake” off his character all the time, either. At least not in enough time before he pushed some major boundaries — if the claims in the report are true. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Wonder if outlets highlighting the intimacy coordinators have anything to do with the crisis PR Justin supposedly hired!

Blake Lively, girl, what the hell is THIS?!

Last week, the It Ends with Us star sat down for an interview about her highly controversial film, which is based on Colleen Hoover‘s popular book, also stars Justin Baldoni, and tackles the issue of a generational cycle of domestic violence.

Related: Justin Baldoni Reportedly Hires Crisis PR Vet Amid It Ends With Us Drama!

While chatting on Jake’s Takes alongside co-star Brandon Sklenar, the interview host asked the mom of four how she would theoretically respond to someone who “relates to” and “understands” the themes of the movie, as well as how she’d react if they were to share a personal domestic violence story with her. The host asked:

“What’s the best way for them to be able to talk to you about this? How would you recommend they go about it?”

You’d think this is, like, the perfect opportunity for Blake to offer a deep and meaningful answer, right? Especially amid all the criticism she’s received for keeping the film’s promo on the more lighthearted end of things despite its dark themes. But no… She fumbled the opportunity HARD. The 39-year-old responded with yet ANOTHER lackadaisical — and downright confusing — answer:

“[They could] ask me for my address or my phone number, or like my location share. I could just location share you.”

Uh, WHAT?? Did she really think this was the time for another joke?! She went on:

“I’m a Virgo, so I’m like, are we talking logistics? Are we talking emotionally?”

What in the world?! How is that even remotely a response to the question she was asked?! Even Brandon looked annoyed!

Ryan Reynolds’ wife eventually went on to say it would be a “blessing” if someone came up to her and told her the film had an impact on them… But still didn’t really answer the question. See her full response (below):

On social media, fans were NOT pleased with her response:

“She is making a joke of this”

“That is such a wild response wth”

“can’t believe that was her answer to the first question. It was a great question too”

“the look on her co stars face said it all.”

“She keeps making it fun but the movie isn’t FUN. It’s deep. It’s dark.”

“‘if someone understands the themes of this movie…’ i don’t think she understands the themes of this movie”

YIKES! Reactions??

JD Vance is clapping back at Jennifer Aniston

This week, a video resurfaced from an interview Donald Trump’s VP pick did with Tucker Carlson on Fox News in July 2021, in which he said Democratic politicians like Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pete Buttigieg wouldn’t be good leaders. Why? In his eyes, it’s all because they don’t have kids of their own! Vance explained:

“It’s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it? [They are] a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

Related: These JD Vance Couch Memes Are INSANE! How Did This Wacky Conspiracy Theory Get Started?!

WTF. Mind you, Kamala has two stepkids. So the fact that he is saying she is childless is wrong. And to comment that the current VP or anyone else without kids has no real stake here, Vance basically suggested that women’s only value is giving birth. Ugh. See the video (below):

He faced a ton of criticism for the attacks in the resurfaced interview, including from Kamala’s stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff. Even Jennifer — who has been very open about her own fertility struggles — slammed the Hillbilly Elegy author for his offensive AF comments! She wrote on Instagram Stories:

“I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States. All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her too”

During an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show on Friday, Vance addressed the backlash he received, including from Jennifer. The politician insisted the “childless cat ladies” comments were meant to be “sarcastic” — BUT he still stands by them! Yeah, he’s doubling down. Calling his opinions “true,” he said:

“Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. I’ve got nothing against dogs. And I love them, Megyn. People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not the substance of what I actually said. And the substance of what I said, Megyn, I’m sorry, it’s true.”

Without directly naming Jennifer, Vance went on to slam her “disgusting” remarks:

“You have Hollywood celebrities saying, ‘Oh well, JD Vance, what if your daughter suffered fertility problems?’ Well, first of all, that’s disgusting because my daughter is 2 years old and second of all if she had fertility problems, as I said in that speech, I would do everything I could to try to help her because I believe families and babies are a good thing.”

Wait a minute…  Is he calling her creepy here for being concerned that his extremely harmful views will impact his daughter one day? Seriously?! He then tried to claim the Republican Party is “pro-family” while the Democrats are not before adding:

“You know, the media has been attacking me and this is how it goes. We cannot give up an inch on this.”

Wow. Watch (below):

We really hope Jennifer dishes out another epic response here! Reactions to his comments, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!

Jennifer Aniston has seen what JD Vance is all about, and she wants NO part of him anywhere near the White House.

Vance, of course, is the Hillbilly Elegy author turned United States Senator from Ohio who has now been picked to be Donald Trump‘s running mate for this election cycle. On Wednesday night, the Friends actress reshared a video of Vance saying something truly shocking about women that should have us ALL incredibly concerned.

Related: Donald Trump ‘S**tting His Pants’ Now That Biden Dropped Out, Say Critics!

Aniston took to her Instagram Stories account to share the clip — and comment on it, too. The video itself was from a 2021 interview Vance did on Fox News with then-anchor Tucker Carlson. During that interview, which took place while Vance was running for Senate, the current VP candidate slammed Democrat politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-CortezPete Buttigieg, and Kamala Harris. The charge? Being childless!

In that old clip, Vance moaned about how “childless cat ladies” are controlling the Democrats, and thus, controlling the country. He said in part to Carlson:

“It’s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”

And he went on:

“[They are] a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

Yeesh!

The 55-year-old sitcom star couldn’t abide by that, though. And she used IG to fight back! Sharing a clip of the offensive quote on Wednesday evening, she first wrote above it:

“I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States.”

Then, below the video, Aniston added this particularly poignant follow-up:

“All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her too”

Wow. Very powerful! And VERY true!! See the post for yourself (below):

Jennifer Aniston Slams JD Vance!
/ (c) Jennifer Aniston/Instagram

Here’s the original video of Vance saying those awful words, BTW:

Now, for one, Harris actually does have kids: she’s the stepmother to her husband Doug Emhoff‘s two children — son Cole, 29, and daughter Ella, 25. But oooooookay, JD!

As for Aniston, the child chat and pregnancy discussion no doubt hits home. She’s been plagued by pregnancy rumors throughout her career, and has also tried to bring children into this world, but it never happened for her. Back in November of 2022, she recalled to Allure how difficult it was for her to try to have a baby while with ex-husband Brad Pitt and at other points in her younger years:

“All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would have given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it.”

She also followed up with that outlet at the time:

“Here I am today. The ship has sailed… I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I?’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”

So, she has been through it emotionally on both sides of the debate — trying to have them as a younger woman, and not being able to do so and moving on with life beyond motherhood. She knows of what she speaks! And she certainly knows it better than JD Vance… just saying!

Reactions, y’all? Share ’em (below)…

Harrison Butker is firing back at Serena Williams’ diss at the 2024 ESPY Awards.

In case you missed it, the iconic tennis player hosted the award show on Thursday night and throw shade at the controversial Kansas City Chiefs kicker. Earlier this year, Harrison made headlines when he gave a commencement speech at Benedictine College telling the female students that they should be more excited about becoming a homemaker — their “most important title” — than having a career. Ugh. After facing backlash online for his misogynistic comments, he refused to apologize for what he said and doubled down instead. And don’t expect him to take it back anytime soon, no matter what anyone says…

So, during the ESPYS, Serena, her sister, Venus Williams, and Abbott Elementary actress Quinta Brunson appeared on stage together to give a shout-out to women in sports. They got in a dig at Harrison, too! Venus told the crowd:

“Go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sport.”

Serena then cut in to say:

“Except you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you.”

HA! Quinta added:

“At all, like, ever.”

What made the roast even better? Harrison was IN THE AUDIENCE!! Unfortunately, the cameras did not cut to the football player at any point during the segment, so we didn’t get to see his reaction. But he didn’t wait a long time to give his thoughts on the dig! He clapped back at Serena in a statement to NBC News on Friday, saying:

“I thought Mrs. Williams was a great host and applaud her for using her platform to express her beliefs on a variety of topics. Sports are supposed to be the great unifier and at an event dedicated to celebrating a diverse group of men and women who have accomplished great feats. She used it as an opportunity to disinvite those with whom she disagrees with from supporting fellow athletes.”

He used a college graduation to divide and put down women who worked hard for their degrees instead of celebrating their amazing accomplishments. And he has the audacity to slam Serena for calling him out? To say she’s the one causing a divide here? Seriously?!

Well, it looks like the ball is back in Serena’s court! We’ll see if she has another epic takedown of Harrison after his latest comments. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!

Serena Williams had an important message for Harrison Butker!

During Thursday night’s 2024 ESPYs, which she hosted, the acclaimed tennis pro called out the controversial Kansas City Chiefs player! As you may recall, he went viral earlier this year after giving a shocking commencement speech in which he claimed women should consider “homemaker” to be their “most important title.” As if we’re right back in the 1800s!

The jab came as the retired athlete took the stage with her sister Venus Williams and actress Quinta Brunson. Venus told viewers:

“Go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sport.”

But then Serena chimed in:

“Except you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you.”

That received a HUGE round of applause from the audience before the Abbott Elementary star continued:

“At all, like, ever.”

LMFAO!!! And Harrison was IN THE AUDIENCE for this, too! Ouch! Watch the ladies roast him (below):

The cameras notably didn’t pan to the NFL star, so we didn’t get to see his reaction to the diss, unfortunately. But it’s interesting to note that Harrison showed up to the glitzy event without his wife Isabelle Butker. Kinda surprising that she wouldn’t want to show him some public support following all this controversy!

It was just two months ago when Harrison made his highly criticized speech at Benedictine College, where he said of his partner:

“I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”

Along with making many anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments, he basically attacked all the working women in the room — all while quoting teammate Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend Taylor Swift! Specifically, some lyrics from Bejeweled. Despite the hate, he said in May that he has no “regret[s] at all.” Many of his teammates have tried distancing themselves from his hot takes, but have claimed he’s a “good person.” Even Travis very smoothly reacted to the drama, saying on his podcast:

“My views are never gonna be the same as the man next to me. You put your differences inside for one goal in common, and that’s the beauty of team sports.”

Of course, the women had to be the most outspoken about this! Love that they used this major sports platform to call him out!

Reactions?! Sound OFF (below)!

Princess Catherine may want to attend Wimbledon, but she won’t have the final call. That’s down to Prince William!

…Wait, what?

Former royal butler Paul Burrell told Closer on Wednesday that Kate Middleton “knows the world will want to see her” at the tennis tournament (which wraps up on Sunday), but because her husband is “fiercely protective” of her, he “will decide whether she’s fit enough” to attend.

She’s the one actually going through cancer treatment. Shouldn’t it be her decision if she’s “fit enough”?? We respect that he can certainly give his input, too — and that he’s protective of his wife. But come on! This reeks of the patriarchy! Just saying!

Related: ESPN Responds To Backlash Over Prince Harry Being Selected For Award!

Elaborating on why the Prince of Wales will supposedly get the final say, the butler continued:

“William controls this household and William will decide whether she’s well enough to do this because he’s the one that protects the family — fiercely. There’s no way he’s going to subject Kate to intrusion that she can’t handle. He’s so fiercely protective.”

Paul added that this “absolutely” stems from losing his mother Princess Diana when he was just 15, pointing out:

“With William by her side, Kate’s safe because he will take care of her and would never let anyone harm her. I think she trusts William implicitly and he has the final say.”

Look, we understand why he might be worried. A cancer battle is NO joke. Plus, Kate’s been the center of so many conspiracy theories and rumors during her private health journey over the last few months. He probably wants to shield her from unwanted lines of questioning and invasive fans, too. Perfectly understandable. Still, the idea that he — as the man of the household — gets the final say instead of Kate as the one actually going through all the treatments is pretty wild in this day and age! Just saying!

FWIW, no decision has been made yet. Wimbledon will wrap up this weekend with the Ladies’ Singles Final on Saturday followed by the Mens’ Singles Final on Sunday. As a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and a huge tennis fan, the 42-year-old is typically in attendance and helps hand out the trophies. The organization has already said they’re giving Kate William time to decide what to do. The Telegraph has also reported that should the mother of three not be feeling up for it — or Willy makes her stay home — Birgitte, the Duchess of Gloucester could take her place at the trophy presentation. So, they have a backup plan! That’s good, as it gives them more time to sort things out!

All that said, Paul did say it is “highly likely” that Kate will attend since she’s a “huge tennis fan.” Well, great. Let’s just hope William lets her! Oof!!! What do you think about William having the last word?? Sound OFF (below)!

Remember when NFL fans were complaining about seeing too many shots of Taylor Swift enjoying the game? We said at the time that was kind of a BS complaint. Why? Because there’s so much downtime during games, there’s TONS of shots of the crowd. The cameras look for anything remotely interesting to fill the time. Sometimes that’s wild fanatics in facepaint, sometimes it’s wholesome shots of parents taking their kids to their first games… And oh so often it’s just random creeping on girls.

Yes, sadly it’s expected these days — we’d be shocked to learn cameramen weren’t given the directive to search for attractive women, as often as it happens…

Well, this young woman was NOT happy about it! After being filmed by ESPN while watching the College World Series game, a girl going by the name Annie posted a TikTok video about how annoying it was to wake up and learn you’re being sexualized by weirdos in the comments. She complained:

“It was a 20-second segment of just us eating out ice cream… licking our ice cream. 20 seconds dedicated to — with commentary — just us eating our ice cream. We all knew! We all knew what direction that video was gonna head in. And lo and behold, the creeps of TikTok got a hold of it because we woke up getting compared to the Hawk Tuah girl. No shade to her, girl do whatever.”

Ah, yes. The Hawk Tuah girl, for those who managed to miss the viral sensation, was one of those man-on-the-street interviews in which women were asked:

“What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?”

This girl responded:

“You gotta give ’em that hawk tuah and spit on that thang!”

And everyone has gone nuts for it. She even got an agent! No joke!

But that was a woman consenting to answering a question about a sex act. This is just a girl trying to enjoy her GD cold treat and getting creeped on relentlessly thanks to ESPN’s weirdly voyeuristic cameras.

Annie continued:

“When I tell you the comment section of that video is absolutely repulsing… To know that there are people who have families in their profiles and their profile photos just smiling away with the kids that they’re raising. Feel bad for them and their dad.”

She actually posted a whole Part 2 video just to share some more of the gross comments. You can watch that one, set to Taylor Swift‘s Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, HERE.

Anyway, she went on a righteous diatribe about the whole practice and how it hurts girls who are interested in sports, saying:

 “I didn’t want to just come on here and rage, but it is so beyond evident that women are not welcome in the sports world.”

She explained she was annoyed she felt she had to justify why she was there, which was that she and her friend love baseball:

“We just wanted to enjoy a baseball game. And it was 100 degrees so god forbid we eat some ice cream. Then people sit back and wonder, why women don’t feel welcome in these environments. It’s crazy. It’s like we can’t sit and eat our food in peace.”

She said she’d earlier had a hot dog, the traditional baseball stadium treat — and she purposely hid while eating that because of the threat of this happening! Oh, and also the fact she and her friend were there the entire game and weren’t filmed just being fans… not until they were licking ice cream. ESPN knew what they were doing, in other words.

Annie mentioned the tons of comments she’d seen about ESPN doing this “every single sporting event,” and she’s not wrong. And she pointed out how the network gets to keep their hands clean because technically they didn’t say anything sexual:

“Because what’s funnier than a woman licking an ice cream cone or eating a hotdog or something that can be overly sexualized? But ESPN can keep it vague enough and the ambiguity is what protects them. When they just open the door for f**king creeps like this to come in and do whatever they want with it.”

So what’s the solution here? No, not a lawsuit, as some commenters suggested — entering the stadium, you give up any expectation of privacy. But maybe ESPN could give their camera operators different instructions? Annie suggested they “just do better” and “don’t knowingly take videos of women in the crowds” they know that are likely to be “sexualized.” She flipped off ESPN and begged:

“Stop contributing to the issue and stop making sports a place where women don’t feel safe and welcome.”

What do YOU think, Perezcious sports fans??

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis showed up at a WNBA game over the long Memorial Day holiday weekend — and their kids did, too!

Their daughter Wyatt, 9, and son Dimitri, 7, haven’t thus far been around for ANY public appearances. The family values their privacy, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that! But on Friday night, they all stepped out on the town to watch women’s basketball!

The occasion was a game between the host Los Angeles Sparks and the visiting Indiana Fever. That was a big game because the Fever have rookie phenom Caitlin Clark on their team. Clark was a superstar at the University of Iowa — the same school which Ashton attended — and is now doing her thing in pro ball!

Thankfully for Clark, the Fever won 78-73. But the real show happened after the game! There, after sitting courtside for the contest, Kutcher and Kunis posed for pics with Caitlin and their two little ones! And the kids were SO happy to meet such a fast-rising basketball star!

The That 70’s Show alum rocked an Iowa Hawkeyes hat, while his lookalike son wore a matching sweatshirt. And Wyatt was noticeably awed to be in Clark’s presence when she came over after the game ended!! It’s crazy to see how much Wyatt and Dimitri look like their momma and daddy, too. Those genes definitely got passed down! You can see vid of the post-game interaction for yourself (below):

The moment was a big deal, too, because it’s the first public appearance that Wyatt and Dimitri have made with their A-list parents! Seriously! Kutcher and Kunis have been keen on keeping their kids out of the spotlight. But they had to step into it to watch the phenom Clark hoop it up! Love it! Reactions, Perezcious readers?!
