Ashton and Mila plead for kids' privacy

He's previously spoken about his desire to keep his children out of the spotlight, but Ashton Kutcher has made another desperate plea to the media.

After photos were published over the weekend of Ashton and wife Mila Kunis' two children, daughter Wyatt, 2, and son Dimitri, six months, the 39-year-old actor took to Twitter to ask the media to leave his family alone.

"l continue to kindly ask, Please don't post/publish photos of our kids. They haven't chosen life in the public eye," Ashton tweeted.

"Yes we took them to a public place (we like sharing life with our kids) no that doesn't mean we are ok with their photos being published. Please."

Ashton and Mila were spotted taking their kids to a diving competition in Budapest over the weekend, with several outlets publishing the photos of the family outing.

Mila, who married the That 70s Show star in 2015, is currently in the Hungarian capital filming new movie, The Spy Who Dumped Me.

It's not the first time Ashon has hit out at media outlets publishing photos of his children, with the actor criticising a publication that ran full-faced photos of Wyatt with his or Mila's permission back in 2015.

"Why is it so hard for publications to respect that I would like the identity of my child kept private for safety reasons? Pls honor that," he tweeted at the time.

Continuing his crusade against publications that "lack integrity" Ashton last week hit out at US magazine Star after they suggested he was cheating on Mila and published photos of the star with "another woman".

"You should have heard how upset Mila was that I spent the day with our cousin. Sorry aunt Jodie these magazines lack integrity," he once again tweeted.
