Mila Kunis blames herself for her bad breakup with Macaulay Culkin.

During a conversation with Dax Shepard for his "Armchair Expert" podcast, the 34-year-old actress opened up about their "horrible, horrible, horrible breakup." 

"I was an a--hole in my 20s, and I'll be the first to admit it," she said. "And that is kind of something that took me a long time to come out and be like, 'Yeah, you know what, I was a dick, and I accept it and I own it now.'"

Kunis and Culkin, 37, started dating in 2002 and were together for eight years. The couple confirmed their split in January 2011. 

Though she doesn't go into the specifics about how their relationship ended, the "Spy Who Dumped Me" actress admits that she was the one at fault. 

"It's f---ed up what I did, and it's f---ed up how I did it," she told Shepard. "When I got to be single, I was like, 'I just need to figure myself out. I genuinely need to know why I did what I did, and like, regroup myself as a human."

She said she was single for two years after that and wasn't looking for a relationship. On the same podcast, Kunis said she ended up getting together with her "That '70s Show" co-star Ashton Kutcher in 2012 after he set her up on blind date that failed.

"And then that guy didn't show up," she said. "And that was the night [Kutcher] and I hooked up."

The couple married in 2015 and have two children.

Kunis said it wasn't easy to forgive herself, but feels better about it now.

"You know, it's been so long I feel like enough time has gone by," she said. "I think enough mutual friends have been like everybody kind of forgave everybody for what went down."
