Ashton Kutcher has finally revealed after five long years if he and his wife really don't shower.
The celebrity couple, who tied the knot in 2015 and share two children together, made a bizarre claim about their hygiene habits during an interview back in 2021.
During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast, they admitted that they choose not to bathe their kids, aged six and four at the time, with soap every day.
When discussing the topic of showering, co-host Monica Padman said: "I can't believe I am in the minority here of washing my whole body in the shower. Who taught you to not wash?"

To which the Friends With Benefits actor replied: "I didn't have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn't shower much anyway.
"But when I had children, I also didn't wash them every day. I wasn't that parent that bathed my newborns — ever."
The Dude, Where's My Car? actor then joked: "Now, here's the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there's no point."
He also added that he only cleans his 'armpits and my crotch daily and nothing else ever'.
Since that interview, the Hollywood A-listers developed a bit of 'smelly' reputation - something Kutcher has now opened up about while promoting his new series The Beauty.
"It was the craziest thing of all time," he admitted to People.
"We made a comment at one point, and people were like, 'Does he stink? Does he smell?'"
Addressing his costars Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, Kutcher said: "There was a comment on a podcast, so long ago… and people are like, 'They don't shower.' I'm like, 'I shower, I go to the gym, I shower.'"
Ramos laughed: "I can confirm my boy showers."
Kutcher, who is seen shirtless throughout the new horror series, said he really had to 'get in shape' for the role.
"Let's get clear about it, I've been sitting in an office chair doing venture capital," he explained.
"And so, I was like, 'Oh, my gosh. What am I gonna do?'
"So I got a trainer — his name is Robbie Egan — and Robbie comes to my house at five o'clock in the morning before I start work and beats me up.
"I got a haircut, which I hadn't in a while. I was like, 'Alright, I gotta clean this thing up.' And then I showed up to work.
"Luckily, we started shooting Jan. 20 last year, and I always do dry January, so I had 20 days of not drinking before, and I started to really tighten up."
The new show sees Kutcher play the Corporation, a tech billionaire tied to 'The Beauty' treatment, which makes users more attractive before it begins to destroy their lives.
FX's The Beauty comes out on Disney Plus on 22 January.
