Mila Kunis said she now regrets her decision to convince her husband Ashton Kutcher not to go into space with Virgin Group founder Richard Branson.

Kutcher previously told Cheddar's Kristen Scholer that he had a ticket reserved on a Virgin Galactic flight, which he told Kunis about in 2012 shortly after they began dating.

Kutcher said Kunis told him "it was not a smart family decision" to take up the ticket and go into space after the birth of their daughter Wyatt in October 2014.

However, in an interview with People (via Yahoo), Kunis said she now regrets the stance she took about Kutcher's dream to go into space.

"I was all so hormonal and I was like, 'You can't, you're going to die. That thing's going to explode and you're going to die – and you're going to leave me with the babies,'" Kunis said.

The "Black Swan" and "Family Guy" actress now says she "hates" having taken away Kutcher's dream from him.

"The fact that I didn't let him go into space was so selfish of me, but I was a new mom and I was like, 'You can't leave me and the babies.' And so that's where that decision was made out of."

Kunis said that she has changed her mind on the matter and if her husband asked now, she "probably would have let him to go space now, but now it's too late."

It may not be too late according to Kutcher, though. In his interview with Scholer, he said: "At some point, I'm going to space." He reportedly purchased his ticket for $200,000 in 2012.

It's a real possibility that Kutcher, like many others, could venture into space one day. Last weekend, Virgin Galactic flew a full crew to the edge of space, 55 miles above Earth, for the first time ever.

Virgin Galactic also said it wants to start flying out up to 400 flights per year and aims to take customers on the space flights as soon as the beginning of next year. Over 700 people, including major celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Elon Musk, have reserved themselves seats, which are worth up to $250,000.
