Mila Kunis had a little extra support while making her guest-hosting debut.

On Wednesday, July 29, the actress stepped in for Kelly Ripa on Live while the longtime host recovers from gum surgery. As Kunis settled in beside Mark Consuelos, she revealed she wasn’t the only celebrity in the building — her husband, Ashton Kutcher, was cheering her on from backstage.

During the opening segment, Kunis and Consuelos chatted about several trending topics, including NFL quarterback Baker Mayfield re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — a sports headline that left the actress drawing a blank.

“My husband’s backstage,” Kunis said. “He’s gonna be like, ‘How dare she not know.’”

After the audience erupted in surprise, Kunis leaned into the moment with another joke.

“I love that you gasped that my husband’s backstage. He is backstage, guys. He’s really real, and he’s here,” she added.

Later in the conversation, the topic shifted to collegiate wrestling, a longtime interest shared by Consuelos and Kutcher. That prompted the actor to briefly step in front of the cameras.

“There he is,” Kunis exclaimed.

“He’s so happy right now,” she added as Kutcher smiled, waved and gave the audience a thumbs-up.

Earlier in the episode, Kunis admitted she didn’t exactly think through her decision to guest-host the show.

Consuelos introduced the topic by saying, “Filling in for Kelly, today is Mila Kunis.”

“This is so fun. I have to tell you. I’m never on this side of anything. And so, given the power that I can talk about anything at all…” Kunis shared.

“Anything you want,” Consuelos reiterated.

Kunis added, “It’s too much power for one person to have.”

“Let’s go back. Let’s go back,” he said, before asking, “So you get the phone call. They want you to co-host one day; how long did it take you to make a decision?”

“So…I don’t even know if…” Kunis started to answer.

Consuelos jumped in, “Because it came back pretty quickly on my end.”

“Because I had one too many margaritas,” Kunis admitted while laughing.
