Kieran Culkin’s Oscars promise comes true as Jazz Charton shows baby bump

Kieran Culkin and Jazz Charton confirm they are expecting their third child after a playful Oscars promise

Kieran Culkin is adding to his family once again. The Succession star and his wife Jazz Charton have revealed they are expecting their third baby, making the announcement in subtle but stylish fashion on the red carpet. Attending the opening night of Waiting for Godot on Broadway, Jazz showed off her baby bump in a beige knit dress while Kieran rested his hand proudly on her stomach. The couple, already parents to six-year-old daughter Kinsey Sioux and four-year-old son Wilder Wolf, looked all smiles as photographers captured the moment.

The announcement ties neatly back to Culkin’s very public plea for more children during awards season. At the 2024 Emmys, while accepting his award for Succession, he thanked his wife for their two children and added with a grin, “And Jazz, I want more. You said maybe, if I win.” The request drew laughter from the audience and from Jazz herself, who applauded from the crowd.

Just months later, Culkin doubled down on the promise at the 2025 Oscars, where he won Best Actor for A Real Pain. Speaking directly to Jazz, he reminded her of the deal, “About a year ago, I very stupidly, publicly said that I wanted a third kid from her because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid. Turns out she said that because she didn’t think I was going to win.” Culkin then revealed he had even bigger dreams, admitting he hoped for four children, teasing his wife about another pact.

Now, with their third baby on the way, it seems the playful exchange has turned into a reality. Fans online were quick to react to the reveal, sharing congratulations and celebrating how the long-running inside joke between the actor and his wife has become part of their family story. The moment also fuelled light-hearted speculation on whether Jazz might one day have to keep her word on the four-child promise should Culkin collect yet another major award.

For now, the couple appear thrilled as they prepare for their growing family, their red carpet smiles leaving no doubt that their latest chapter has begun.
