Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis smile broadly in a flashback photo shared by their That ’70s Show co-star Wilmer Valderrama to mark the 20th anniversary of the comedy.

The couple starred opposite each other in the series long before they got married three years ago.

They played hapless lovers Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso on That ’70s Show in 1998, when 14-year-old Kunis shared her first kiss with her 19-year-old co-star who would go on to become her husband.

Valderrama, who played Fez, wrote on Instagram: “August 23, 1998… this was the first picture we ever took together, 20 years ago today… We had just met and had no idea what was ahead of us, or if it would even last… but we knew it was gonna be fun.
