Swedish make-up artist speaks of “intimate embrace” with Ashton Kutcher as rumours he was dating Mila Kunis surfaced

A Swedish make-up artist claims she spent the night with Ashton Kutcher at the same time rumours he was dating Mila Kunis began to circulate.

Pictures of actor Ashton and Linn Massinger have emerged showing the pair lying in each other’s arms at the star’s Los Angeles home.

The photo was reportedly taken just weeks before Ashton publicly confirmed his relationship with Mila but rumours the pair were an item had already begun doing the rounds.

Ashton, who celebrated the birth of daughter Wyatt with Mila last month, is said to have met Linn in LA’s Writer’s Room bar in June 2012 and the pair went back to his bachelor pad for a party with a group of friends.

She told The Sun: “We had only been there for about 10 minutes and he waved me over.

“I went over by myself and when I asked his name he said in a jokey way that it was Chris, which I later found out is his real first name. I knew who he was but I wanted to play it cool so didn’t say anything.

“After about five minutes of chatting he asked if I wanted to go back to his house with them. I agreed and he took my mobile number and texted me the address.”

When she arrived a friend of the star gave Linn a tour of Ashton's lavish home where she claims the Hollywood star ran up to her and took her by the hand.

He led her to the bar where the pair chatted and got to know each other and it was here she says he made his move.

Linn said: “He didn’t say anything, he just took my hand and took me upstairs. I was trying to stay focused as I was a bit drunk.

“We went upstairs, I wasn’t thinking anything because it was all so quick. We kind of snuck off.”

She says they then shared an “intimate embrace” before heading back down to the party but when they realised people were heading home they went back to the bedroom to sleep at around 3am.

And, although Linn says the movie star texted her later, the friendship quickly ended and she didn’t hear from him again.

She added: “I was a bit disappointed he didn’t get back to me, but I never thought it would happen. When he didn’t I was OK, I thought he was a big star.”

A rep for Ashton recently told America's Star magazine he and Mila didn’t start dating until July 2012 – the month after he met Linn – so, surely, he was innocently playing the dating game...
