Kieran Culkin tied the knot with Jazz Charton on June 18, 2013. The couple has confirmed that they are expecting their third child while attending the opening night of Waiting for Godot in NYC on September 28. The actor rested his hand on Charton's stomach. The couple are parents of daughter Kinsey, 6, and son Wilder, 4.

The couple's confirmation comes months after Culkin revealed that his wife promised him more kids if he won an Oscar. While accepting the Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in A Real Pain, Culkin said,

"About a year ago, I was on a stage like this and I very stupidly, publicly said that I want a third kid from her because she said if I won the award she would give me a kid. Turns out she said that because she didn't think I was gonna win. She goes, "Oh God, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid." And I turned to her and I said, Really, I want four."

Culkin then mentioned that his wife told him that she would give him four kids if he won an Oscar.


What did Kieran Culkin say during the 2024 Emmys?

In 2024, while accepting an Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in Succession, Kieran Culkin showed gratitude to his wife and asked her for another child.

"Thank you for sharing your life with me and for giving me two amazing kids. Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf, I love you so much. And Jazz - I want more. You said maybe, if I win. I love you so much."

After collecting the award, Kieran Culkin talked to the reporters and said that he had been asking his wife for a kid "for a while" and that his wife promised one if he won the Emmy. Kieran mentioned that he didn't bring the topic up "for months," but when he won the Golden Globe awards, he asked her if she remembered her promise.

Culkin mentioned that after reminding his wife about her promise, she spent "the whole week being nervous." When asked what he would name his third child, the actor said that he "wouldn't name it Emmy, or whatever other cute little thing."

Culkin, while speaking to the reporters, also admitted that he was "very rude" for asking his wife for more kids on stage instead of "just talking to her in private like a human."
