Mila Kunis has Ashton Kutcher's back.

On the Paramount+ series The Checkup with Dr. David Agus, the That '70s Show alum talked about how his wife supported him as he battled the rare autoimmune disease vasculitis years ago.

"From a physician, from a doctor, to be able to see you today compared to what it was back in November 2019," Dr. David Agus told Kutcher on the show, "I will say your wife is amazing."

Kutcher, who tied the knot with Kunis in 2015, concurred, "My wife is the best."

As the doctor recalled, Kunis was "curled up" by her husband's side. "It was a beautiful thing to watch," Agus said as Kutcher repeated, "She's the best."

The actor, who shares two children with Kunis, revealed on an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls in August that he was diagnosed with disease vasculitis. He spoke more about his symptoms on The Checkup with Dr. David Agus.

"There's a standard you become accustomed to in your life, like being able to see clearly. And then suddenly you can't see," Kutcher said. "Like, you have this, like, occlusion, and you can't see. And then, like, 'Why are you not f--king talking louder? 'Cause I can't hear you.'"

Kutcher's condition also affected his mobility. He has since recovered and even ran the New York City Marathon in November.

"Part of it is this sort of mental thing I have around achieving a full comeback, from waking up in the hospital," he said. "I was unable to walk. And I was like, wait a second. If I can go from not being able to walk to running a marathon in a three-year span, then I can sort of just let that be a part of the past and be like, 'I'm back. I'm good.'"
