Love is in the air, and babies are on the way! Kieran Culkin, the star of Succession, has welcomed his third child with his wife, Jazz Charlton. This joyous news comes after a playful 'baby pact' made during his previous award acceptance speeches. But how did this unconventional deal come about? Let's dive in!
News of the new arrival was shared by Culkin's Succession co-star, Sarah Snook, at a recent red carpet event. She confirmed she had already met the newest member of the Culkin family, describing them as "so cute" and expressing how happy the parents are. The couple, who have been together for over a decade, have not yet revealed the name or gender of their newest addition.
The 'baby pact' saga began when Culkin, during his 2024 Emmy Award acceptance speech, playfully hinted at expanding his family. He expressed his love for his wife and their two children, Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf, and cheekily declared his desire for more children. But here's where it gets controversial... It seems Jazz was hesitant, with a touch of humor, she said she would consider another child if he won an award.
Fast forward to the Oscars, where Culkin took home the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in A Real Pain. During his acceptance speech, he humorously reminded his wife of their agreement. He revealed that Jazz, not expecting him to win, had made the promise. Culkin then playfully declared, "I want four!" Jazz, in response, stated she would give him four children if he won an Oscar.
The couple's relationship is known for its playful banter and mutual admiration. Their story began in 2012 when they met in a New York bar. Culkin, known for his witty humor, playfully insulted Jazz with his opening line. They eloped a year later during a road trip, choosing a private ceremony on the side of the road.
And this is the part most people miss... Jazz, after the Oscars, shared photos on Instagram, referencing the 'baby pact' with a touch of humor. She questioned whether her promises had motivated her husband's success.
