Kieran Culkin and his wife, Jazz Charlton, have a new addition to their family, and it's a story that began on the Oscars stage! In a surprising turn of events, the couple welcomed their third child, fulfilling a 'baby pact' made during Kieran's 2024 Emmy Awards speech.
But here's where it gets interesting: Kieran, known for his role in the hit HBO series Succession, publicly expressed his desire for another child with Jazz while accepting the Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series. He adorably addressed his wife, saying, "I want more. You said maybe, if I win." A bold declaration, right? And it didn't end there.
Fast forward to the 2025 Oscars, where Kieran won the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance in A Real Pain. In his acceptance speech, he humorously recalled the previous year's 'baby pact,' revealing that Jazz had agreed to a third child if he won. And guess what? She kept her word! Their co-star, Sarah Snook, confirmed the arrival of the new baby at the premiere of All Her Fault, gushing about the adorable family.
The couple, who met in 2012 and eloped a year later, already have a six-year-old daughter, Kinsey, and a four-year-old son, Wilder. Jazz's pregnancy was announced at the Waiting For Godot premiere, where she proudly displayed her baby bump. And now, they're a family of five!
Kieran's speeches have become a source of entertainment and joy, with his Oscar speech taking a hilarious turn. He jokingly chided Jazz for her initial skepticism about his chances of winning, saying, "Ye of little faith." But he didn't stop at three; he boldly asked for four children! Jazz, taking it in stride, responded with a playful condition: "I will give you four when you win an Oscar."
This heartwarming story has captured the attention of fans and the media alike. Jazz even shared a lighthearted post on Instagram, acknowledging the 'baby pact' and attributing their success to it. But this raises an intriguing question: Is making such public declarations a good idea, or is it adding unnecessary pressure?
