Kieran Culkin Turns Award-Show Plea Into Reality as Wife Jazz Charton Reveals Baby No. 3 on the Way—Months After His Viral Emmys and Oscars Speeches About Expanding Their Family

Kieran Culkin, fresh off his career-defining wins at the Emmys and Oscars, is proving that sometimes persistence—and a little public humor—pays off at home too. The Succession star and his wife, Jazz Charton, are officially expecting their third child, news that comes less than a year after his playful and now-famous onstage plea for more kids made headlines across Hollywood.

The couple, who have been married since 2013, already share two children: Kinsey Sioux, born in 2019, and Wilder Wolf, born in 2021. But ever since Culkin’s back-to-back award season victories, he has been openly campaigning for the family to grow bigger, and it looks like his wife has finally agreed to the next chapter.

The announcement wasn’t made through a flashy Instagram post or a glossy magazine cover. Instead, it happened in true Culkin fashion—unexpectedly and with a touch of theatricality. On September 28, 2025, during the opening night of Waiting for Godot in New York City, Jazz stepped onto the red carpet with a noticeable baby bump. Kieran, dressed in classic black, placed a protective hand on her stomach while photographers erupted in a frenzy. In seconds, the whispers turned into headlines: the Culkin clan is growing again.

This pregnancy carries a special significance given the way it ties back to Culkin’s own words. At the 2024 Emmy Awards, while accepting his trophy for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his scene-stealing role as Roman Roy in Succession, Culkin turned his speech into a mix of heartfelt thanks and cheeky negotiation. “Jazz, I want more,” he declared to his wife in the audience. “You said maybe if I win. Well, I won!” The crowd erupted in laughter, but the actor’s sincerity was clear beneath the humor.

He doubled down on the playful bargaining months later at the 2025 Oscars, where he won his first Academy Award for his work in A Real Pain. On stage, he reminded everyone of a private deal the couple once joked about: that Jazz might agree to four kids if he ever won an Oscar. “So… we’ve got work to do,” he quipped, drawing cheers and applause.

Now, with baby number three officially on the way, Culkin seems to be inching closer to his dream of a family of four children. Whether Jazz plans to fulfill that final part of the promise remains to be seen, but for now, fans are delighted by the heartwarming update.

Away from the spotlight, Culkin and Charton are known for keeping their family life relatively private, often shying away from oversharing on social media. But moments like this show how their love story blends personal intimacy with flashes of public charm.

As Succession fans continue to miss Roman Roy’s razor-sharp wit, Culkin’s real-life role as husband and father is proving to be his most rewarding performance yet. And if his speeches are any indication, we may not have heard the last of his baby campaign.
