Kieran Culkin and Wife Jazz Charton Expecting Baby No. 3 After His Memorable Emmys Plea
Kieran Culkin and his wife, Jazz Charton, are preparing to welcome a new addition to their family. The couple was spotted on September 28, 2025, at the opening night of Waiting for Godot in New York City, with Culkin beaming as he rested his hand on Charton’s growing belly.
The news of expanding their family first surfaced in January 2024 during Culkin’s Emmy win for Best Actor in a Drama Series for Succession. Onstage, he boldly declared, “And Jazz: I want more. You said maybe if I win,” referencing a private agreement they had made about trying for another child.
Backstage, Culkin explained that he’d been persistently asking Charton for more children until she finally promised they could try if he won the Emmy. He admitted, “Instead of talking to her in private like a human, I just blasted her onstage, which was very rude.”
The story didn’t end there. During his March 2025 Oscar acceptance speech, Culkin recounted the onstage Emmy moment and the pact about having more kids. After jokingly reminding the audience of the bet, he shared that his wife had agreed to a third child — and even hinted at a fourth if he won an Oscar.
The playful onstage exchange drew laughter from Charton, who appeared unbothered and delighted by her husband’s antics. Yet fans online had mixed reactions: some found it charming, while others questioned the public pressure implied in the story.
