Happy Birthday to actress Mila Kunis, who turns 35 on Tuesday! The star, who shares daughter Wyatt, three, and one-year-old son Dimitri with her actor husband Ashton Kutcher, has also been celebrating the release of her new action comedy film – The Spy Who Dumped Me. The couple met when they starred in That '70s Show together, and married 20 years later – as Mila explains in this week's issue of HELLO! magazine: "Timing is everything". "When Ashton and I reconnected and got married, it was 100 per cent the right time for us," said Mila. The star was full of praise for her other half, saying: "He's super awesome and very chilled. He's great."

With celebrity pals including Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper and Miley Cyrus, we're willing to bet that Jennifer's birthday celebrations are going to be a lot of fun!

Happy birthday to actor Ben Affleck, who will be celebrating his 46th birthday on Wednesday. The Batman star will likely spend his special day with his three children: Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, who he shares with his estranged wife Jennifer Garner. Despite filing for divorce in April 2017, Ben and Jennifer, 46, are in "no rush" to divorce, according to an insider. The source added: "They continue to figure out ways of working together as a family and this is what works for them." Ben and Jennifer are on amicable terms and are often seen co-parenting their kids. Back in June, Jennifer shared a sweet Father's Day tribute to Ben, saying: "Our kids are lucky to have a dad who looks at them the way you look at them and loves them the way you love them."

Happy 68th birthday to Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, the only daughter of the Queen and Prince Phillip. The Princess Royal has had a lot to celebrate this year, after her daughter Zara Tindall gave birth to baby Lena in June – Anne's fourth granddaughter. Anne is also grandmother to Savannah and Isla Phillips, the children of her son Peter and his wife Autumn – as well as Mia Tindall, Zara's first child with her former rugby player husband Mike. It is likely that Anne will spend her birthday surrounded by her family.

16 August: Madonna turns 60

Thursday marks a special day – Madonna is celebrating the big 6-0! The Queen of Pop, who took the world by storm with chart-topping hits including Like a PrayerPapa Don't Preach and Material Girl, is known for her outspoken nature and risqué outfits. The star has previously spoken candidly about ageing, saying: "There are moments when I can't believe I'm as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did ten years ago. I don't think: 'Oh God, I'm missing something.'"

19 August: Matthew Perry turns 49

Happy birthday to Friends star Matthew Perry, who turns 49 on Sunday. Matthew will be taking it easy this birthday, as he is currently recovering from abdominal surgery. The Massachusetts-born actor reportedly underwent an operation to "repair a gastrointestinal perforation." Matthew's representative said of his recovery: "He is grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals." Matthew is best known for his starring role as the hilarious Chandler Bing in the perennial sitcom Friends, and has also starred in films such as 17 Again and Fools Rush In.
