Get ready for a heartwarming story with a twist! Kieran Culkin, the talented actor we all know and love, has become a father for the third time, and it's all thanks to a unique 'baby pact' he made with his wife, Jazz Charlton. But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, a little unexpected!
Almost a year ago, during his Oscars speech, Kieran declared his desire to have another baby with Jazz. It was a bold move, and one that left many wondering if it was just a playful remark or a serious intention. Well, it seems the latter was true, as Kieran and Jazz have welcomed a new bundle of joy into their family.
The news was revealed by Kieran's co-star, Sarah Snook, who attended the red carpet premiere of 'All Her Fault' with a delightful secret. She confirmed that she had already met the newborn, describing the growing family as 'so cute' and 'very happy'. Sarah worked alongside Kieran on the hit HBO series 'Succession' for four seasons, so it's safe to say she's seen the family dynamic evolve over time.
While the baby's name and gender remain a mystery for now, the couple did share the exciting news of their pregnancy in September at the 'Waiting For Godot' premiere. Jazz walked the red carpet in a stunning beige dress, her baby bump on full display, leaving little doubt about the upcoming addition to their family.
Kieran and Jazz are already proud parents to their six-year-old daughter, Kinsey, and their four-year-old son, Wilder. But it was during Kieran's acceptance speech for the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series in 2024 that he dropped the bombshell about wanting more kids. He gushed about his love for Jazz and their two children, Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf, and then made his bold statement: 'And Jazz – I want more. You said maybe, if I win. I love you so much.'
A year later, Kieran won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in 'A Real Pain', and true to his word, he couldn't resist bringing up the 'baby pact' they had made. He explained to the audience how Jazz had agreed to give him a third child if he won the award, and how she had initially thought it was an empty promise. But Kieran wasn't letting her off the hook that easily!
In a hilarious turn of events, Kieran revealed that he had reminded Jazz of their deal, and she had responded by offering him not just three, but four children if he won an Oscar. He playfully told the audience that he hadn't brought it up once until that very moment, and then declared his love for Jazz and their quirky agreement. He urged her to 'get cracking on those kids', leaving everyone in stitches and wondering what the future held for this growing family.
Jazz later shared some adorable snaps from the Oscars on her Instagram, referencing the 'baby pact' and its unexpected outcome. She joked about how their empty promises had become a great motivator, questioning whether Kieran would have achieved such success without the promise of more kids. It's a light-hearted take on a serious commitment, and it showcases the unique dynamic between this couple.
Kieran and Jazz's love story began in a New York bar back in 2012, with Kieran's unique opening line: 'I'm Kieran. You have an English accent. What's your name?' followed by a playful insult about her name. They eloped a year later during a road trip, choosing a private ceremony on the side of the road. It's a testament to their unconventional and loving relationship.
So, what do you think? Is this 'baby pact' a cute inside joke or a serious commitment? And will Kieran and Jazz stop at four children, or is this just the beginning of an even bigger family? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
