Did Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis punk us all with those marriage hints?

Hold off on those wedding gifts for Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Turns out those rumours of a recent wedding might be greatly exaggerated.

According to Radar Online, it was all a hoax masterminded by Ashton himself. A source says the couple "have not gotten married yet".

"Ashton loves fooling people and because they handle their own publicity, they are totally aware of how to manipulate the press," the insider added.

The 36-year-old Punk'd star fuelled the speculation on New Year's Eve with a Facebook photo, a note in the sand that read "HAPPY NEW YEAR, THE KUTCHERS".

In a post earlier that same day, the new dad to daughter Wyatt, 3 months, posted a link to his Aplus website promising "27 pranks that will make you laugh until you cry". There were only 26 pranks, which naturally begs the question: Was "The Kutchers" the 27th?

The Radar source insists it must have been.

"If they did get married, they are lying to a lot of people close to them about it," the insider said.

And that diamond ring Mila, 31, was seen wearing on her ring finger at an L.A. Lakers game last month? Well, what good is a wedding prank without a bit of blinding bling?
