In 2024, Kieran Culkin's wife, Jazz Charton, got a special shoutout at the 76th Annual Emmy Awards. In case you missed it, the Succession actor won his first Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series, and during his acceptance speech, he said "Thank you for sharing your life with me and for giving me two amazing kids...And Jazz, I want more. You said maybe if I win."

Since then, the proud parents haven't announced baby number three—but Culkin did score an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A Real Pain. To celebrate the news, Culkin and his wife enjoyed champagne from an outdoor balcony in Paris, France—and she shared a snap to her IG Story. The big announcement came just three weeks after Culkin earned a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Male Actor – Motion Picture. In his acceptance speech, he quipped, "To my gorgeous wife, of course, thank you for putting up with what you call my mania...I'm working on it."

1. Who Is Kieran Culkin's Wife, Jazz Charton?

Charton has kept her personal life under wraps, but I do know that she was born in London and raised by a single mother, who happens to be none other than former model Corinne "Coco" Charton.

In 2010, Charton moved to New York and worked in the music department of an ad agency. Her initial plan was to make this a temporary trip, but her plans changed after meeting her future husband. On Instagram in 2021, she wrote, “11 years ago today I left London for NYC for what was supposed to be a 3-month trip…Two babies deep now so I guess I’m staying.”

2. How Did Kieran Culkin and His Wife Meet?

The lovebirds met at a New York bar in 2012, and Culkin didn't hesitate to shoot his shot.

In 2018, he revealed that his plans nearly went south because she was with another guy that night. He recalled, "I asked if he was her boyfriend and when she said no, I asked if I could be her boyfriend. We've been together ever since."

In December 2024, Culkin also discussed how his bold move paid off. He told The New York Times, "I took a shot at the most beautiful and charismatic person I’ve ever known and she said yes to a date with me. Now I’m married to her, so I aimed pretty high there and I ended up with my best friend and a great person. I have two beautiful kids and I want to be the best dad ever, so I work really hard at that."

3. Did Kieran Culkin and His Wife Elope?

Charton and Culkin became husband and wife on June 22, 2013, while they were on a road trip in Iowa. According to Charton, they exchanged vows privately on the side of the road in the middle of a rainstorm—and she calls it the "best pit stop I've ever made."

To mark their wedding anniversary in 2023, Charton posted a stunning photo from their wedding day and captioned it, "10 years. 10 yeeeeears!!! We did it!! 10 beautiful years of love and rage and hate and love and fights and love and laughter and love. 10 years. 26 is far too young to get married but I’m so happy we did. Thank you to this wonderful man for this wonderful ride we’re on. Here’s to another 10. We’ll be so old by then. Oh my God, he’ll be almost 50. Horrendous."

4. Do Kieran Culkin and His Wife Have Kids?

Culkin and Charton share two kids: Kinsey Sioux (born September 2019) and Wilder Wolf (born August 2021). During his conversation with Colman Domingo for Variety's “Actors on Actors” series, Culkin opened up about fatherhood.

When asked what he likes most about being a dad, he responded, “Absolutely everything except dinner time. I love everything else. It feels like nothing else matters. I’m a dad now, and my only role in life is that. That’s real life. All this is lovely, but I’m just trying to get home.”

The actor has also spoken about not letting his kids watch his iconic '90s holiday flick, Home Alone. In 2024, he told E! News, “There’s still some scary parts. For the three-year-old, there’s the tarantula [and] there’s the guy at the end who said, ‘I’m gonna bite off all your fingers.’ That’s scary for a three-year-old.”

He added, “We think they might be ready for Home Alone this year. If not, next year.”

Fun fact: Culkin and Stone are still good friends to this day. And get this, it was Stone—one of the producers of A Real Pain—who convinced Culkin to take his role in the Oscar-nominated film. He told Hello! magazine, "She and I had a phone call, which was mostly her convincing me to do the movie—which she did in a very brilliant way."
