Oscars 2025: Kieran Culkin Makes Another Pregnancy Pact With Jazz Charton After Win
Kieran Culkin decided it never hurt to ask. In public, while accepting awards, for his wife Jazz Charton to agree to having a third child together.
“About a year ago, I was on a stage like this and I very stupidly, publicly said that I wanted a third kid from her because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid,” Culkin said onstage while accepting his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for A Real Pain in March. “Turns out she said that because she didn’t think I was going to win.”
Moreover, he continued, “She turned to me, and she said, ‘I will give you four when you win an Oscar.’ I held my hand out. She shook it, and I have not brought it up once until just now. You remember that, honey?”
Well, they’re halfway to settling up, the couple revealing that baby No. 3 is on the way when a visibly pregnant Charton joined Culkin on the red carpet at the Sept. 28 premiere of Waiting for Godot.
“Saw Keanu Reeves on broadway and now I’m 9 months pregnant…this is very on brand for me,” Charton posted the next day on Instagram. “I made a deal with this baby to let me make it to this before labor, not sure what it wants in return but I’m CLEARLY a woman of my word.”
Talk about your win-win scenarios.
