Kieran Culkin’s Children: A Guide to the Actor’s Family After New Pregnancy Announcement
Kieran Culkin and wife Jazz Charton made an epic pregnancy reveal while attending the opening night of Waiting for Godot on Broadway. The couple stepped out on Sunday, September 28, with Charton debuting her baby bump for the first time at the event.
Culkin proudly posed with his hand cradling his wife’s stomach, confirming the news that they have another kid on the way. Charton later revealed on Instagram that she’s already “nine months” into her pregnancy.
“I made a deal with this baby to let me make it to this [show] before labor, not sure what it wants in return but I’m CLEARLY a woman of my word,” Charton wrote. “Such a fresh and inspired take on this play! I don’t think I’m ever going to come down from the high of seeing Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves do air guitar on stage. Cannot put into words how special it is (part pregnancy brain fog / part awe) go see it if you have the chance!”

In January 2024, Culkin spoke about expanding his family while accepting the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the Emmys. “Jazz, I want more. You said maybe, if I win!” he said, after thanking his wife for “sharing [her] life with [him] and giving [him] two amazing kids.”
Later that night, the Succession star told reporters that he’d been “asking” Charton to have more kids for quite some time. “Jazz said, ‘Maybe if you win the Emmy,'” he explained. “I didn’t bring it up for months, and then when I won the [Golden] Globe, I said, ‘Do you remember what you said?’ And she was like, ‘What? No. What did I say? I don’t remember this.’ So I told her and then it all came back to her.”
In March 2025, he reiterated the sentiment during his Academy Awards acceptance speech for his performance in A Real Pain. “[She] said, ‘I will give you four [kids] when you win an Oscar,” Culkin revealed. “No pressure. I love you. I’m really sorry I did this again. And let’s get cracking on those kids. What do you say?”
After confirming her pregnancy on Instagram, Charton revealed that she was already expecting when Culkin made that speech. “I was 2 months and so sick – he’s an a**hole,” she replied to a fan.

In 2013, the lovebirds tied the knot on the side of the road in Iowa during a road trip.
Charton previously worked for the music department at an advertising agency. Now, according to her Instagram bio, she writes for Financial Times Weekend.
