Kieran Culkin has got his wish!
More than a year after asking his wife Jazz Charton about more children on the 2024 Emmy Award-winning stage, the couple revealed they are expecting a third baby. They came out on the opening night of the Broadway Show awaiting Godot in New York City on Sunday, September 28th, with Charton bumps on display.

Culkin, who already shares his daughter, Kinsey Sue, 6, and son, Wilder Wolf, 4, at age 37, reminded his wife of his promise to expand his family in March 2025.
“(The Jazz) said, ‘We’ll give you four (children) when we win the Oscars,'” Culkin told the audience from the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Culkin asked his wife more children while accepting the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in consecutive games in the Emmys in January 2024.
After he was announced as the winner, he first thanked his mother, saying, “I was grateful for giving me life and my childhood. It was amazing. Thank you.”
Culkin also expressed his gratitude to his “beautiful wife” Charton.
“And jazz, I want more. Maybe I told you if I won!” Charton laughed, praised from her seat, and he concluded with a laugh.

He later told reporters at the same event that he had “studyed” his wife for more children for a while.
“The Jazz said, ‘Maybe if you beat Emmy,'” he continued. “I didn’t lift it up for months, and when I won the glove, I said, ‘Do you remember what you said?’ And she said, ‘I don’t remember this?’
“So I told her and it all came back to her,” Culkin continued. “So she spent the week nervously.”
When asked what he would name his child, the actor said he would “never name it Emmy, or any other cute little thing.”
