Ashton Kutcher, Nina Dobrev and More Celebrities Who Hate Valentine's Day

Not feeling the love. Ashton Kutcher, Nina Dobrev and more celebs don’t want to be caught in Cupid’s line of fire when Valentine’s Day rolls around each year. The That ‘70s Show alum was previously married to Demi Moore from September 2005 until their divorce was finalized in November 2013. In February 2010, Kutcher opened up about his not-so-fond feelings toward Valentine’s Day — while promoting a rom-com named after the holiday. “I hate Valentine’s Day. I can’t stand it,” Kutcher told Parade magazine at the time. “I think that every day should be a day of romance. I think you should celebrate love 364 days out of the year. Then, on Valentine’s Day, you should get to tell whoever you hate that you cannot stand them. There would be one day of hating, and 364 days of love.” The Dude, Where's My Car? star married Mila Kunis in July 2015, but still hasn’t quite mastered the art of the Valentine’s Day gift. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019, the Friends with Benefits actress described a sweet gesture from her husband that didn’t go as planned. “I love my husband so, so, so, so much and it's the thought that counts and it's such a beautiful thought,” Kunis said. “So for Valentine’s Day, Ashton got me two little lovebirds. … And when we brought our little lovebirds in to get their nails trimmed or, you know, things that people do with birds, she informed us that we, in fact, did not have lovebirds but instead have parakeets.” [jwplayer TDYhYZHq-l3ahXupL] While Kutcher’s aversion to Valentine’s Day hasn’t changed over the years, Dobrev’s depends on her relationship status. “Valentine’s Day is one of those things that, if I have a boyfriend I love it … and then when I’m single, I wish the day never existed,” the Degrassi alum previously revealed. The Canadian actress’ former flame Ian Somerhalder, for his part, hasn’t always been into the “corporate side” of Valentine’s Day but has grown to enjoy some aspects of the holiday since marrying Nikki Reed in April 2015. “I used to think this Day was a conspiracy of chocolatiers and florists,” he joked via Instagram in 2015. “But I realize that taking a day out of our busy lives to celebrate the love in our lives is so important and should be every day. Celebrate love in your life — it's what makes the world go around.” Keep scrolling to see which stars aren’t too keen on celebrating Valentine’s Day. [podcast_block]

Though he starred in 2010’s Valentine’s Day, Kutcher doesn’t view the holiday fondly. “I hate Valentine’s Day. I can’t stand it. I think that every day should be a day of romance. I think you should celebrate love 364 days out of the year. Then, on Valentine’s Day, you should get to tell whoever you hate that you cannot stand them.

“Valentine’s Day is one of those things that, if I have a boyfriend I love it … and then when I’m single, I wish the day never existed,” the Vampire Diaries alum once explained in an interview with CMT. “There’s a lot of empty space between Christmas and Mother’s Day. They needed something else, so they invented Valentine’s Day.”

Judd Apatow

“I feel pressure at Valentine’s Day,” the Knocked Up director, who wed Leslie Mann in 1997, admitted in 2016. “I feel like I’m supposed to make it good. … Then it’s all just about fear, like, ‘Am I gonna screw it up?’”

Ian Somerhalder

Before finding his happily ever after with Reed, the Lost alum wasn’t a big fan of the cheesy holiday. “I used to think this Day was a conspiracy of chocolatiers and florists but I realize that taking a day out of our busy lives to celebrate the love in our lives is so important and should be every day,” Somerhalder wrote via Instagram in February 2015, reminding fans that “a gesture or loving act shouldn't be judged by its price tag.”

Nick Kroll

When working on Big Mouth’s special Valentine’s Day episode, which hit Netflix in February 2019, the comedian reflected on the “dread” he felt about the holiday as a kid. “It’s not this wonderful thing. … It’s generally, I think for a lot of people, this thing that’s filled with stress and a lot of anxiety,” Kroll told Uproxx at the time.

“It’s one of those holidays where it’s just all expectations so it can be nothing but disappointment,” the Community alum told Yahoo Entertainment in 2016. “Unless someone gets you a bouquet of diamonds, it’s going to be a letdown.”

The Glee alum didn’t hold back with her hot take on Valentine’s Day in a 2016 interview, calling it “the most ridiculous holiday that has been created by greeting card [companies].”

Christina Hendricks

Before she split from husband Geoffrey Arend in October 2019, the Good Girls star would avoid the “amateur night” celebrations on February 14. “We just do it when we’re ready to do it," she previously told Newsday. "We don’t like to have a set menu and we don’t like heart-shaped shrimp. There’s just no reason everything has to be heart-shaped.”
