 She told the radio host: "We, oddly, both did a movie called — I did Friends With Benefits, he did a movie called No Strings Attached. "If we just paid attention to these movies, we should know that s**t like this does not work out in real life"

The Bad Moms star said her man's looks “took her breath away” the moment she laid eyes on him  — and he became“territorial” of her: "So I went over. Long story short — I didn't leave till the next morning.

"And that was the first time, ever, that I'd ever slept over when I was single … at a guy's house."

While not divulging if the pair got down to it the first night she confirmed: "Well, I'll tell you this much, he didn't let me leave. At 2 in the morning I was like, 'I'm gonna call an Uber! See you later.' And he was like, 'You're crazy!' And I was like, 'Bye!'

“Like, when I was single, I was so adamant about never, as stupid as it sounds, never staying over at a guy's house.

 She said the actor wouldn't let her leave and they ended up spending the night together: “I was, like, peacing out, and he was like, ‘You're not leaving.’ And that was the first time and only time'"

“I was, like, peacing out, and he was like, ‘You're not leaving.’ And that was the first time and only time."

The pair got together after Kutcher split with his ex wife Demi Moore, and Kunis split with ex-boyfriend of eight years Macaulay Culkin.

Stern said: ";I thought he was going to go on a mad tear after he broke up with Demi."

She responded: "You and I both, Howard! So, then we end up having a lot of talks about how this is a huge mistake, and how he needs to be single and I need to go and be single.”

Kunis said the couple's friends with benefits arrangement soon turned into something more: "We'd literally attempt to go see other people, and then that night we'd be like, 'Hey! What are you up to? Wanna come over?'
