Many will remember Culkin’s memorable acceptance speech at the 2025 Oscars for winning Best Actor in a Supporting Role, in which he publicly called out his wife for telling him they could have another baby if he ever won an Oscar.
“[Jazz] said, ‘I will give you four [children] when you win an Oscar,’ ” Culkin told the audience from onstage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
“I held my hand out. She took it, and I have not brought it up once, until just now,” he concluded. “You remember that, honey, you do? Okay, then I just have this to say to you, Jazz, love of my life…No pressure. I love you. I’m really sorry I did this again, and let’s get cracking on those kids. What do you say?”
Culkin and Charton already parents to son Wilder, 4, and daughter Kinsey, 6.
After Culkin’s big night, Charton shared several pictures on Instagram and poked fun at her husband’s acceptance speech in the caption, saying that the “baby pacts” were helping his career.
“AN OSCAR?!!!! Okay okay hear me out – making empty baby pacts may seem foolish but it’s clearly been a great motivator,” she wrote. “Would he have come this far if I hadn’t kept promising him more kids if he won awards?….. Probably. But who’s to say?”
This wasn’t the first time Culkin had publicly asked for more kids from his wife. In January 2024, Culkin won an Emmy Award for his role in the TV series Succession. While accepting the award, Culkin thanked his “beautiful wife,” “for sharing your life with me and for giving me two amazing kids.”
“And Jazz, I want more. You said maybe, if I win!” he concluded with a laugh, as Charton laughed and applauded from her seat.
Shortly after announcing she is pregnant with her third baby, Charton shared a series of photos on Instagram as she confirmed that she’s 9 months pregnant.
“Saw Keanu Reeves on broadway and now I’m 9 months pregnant ♥️ this is very on brand for me,” she wrote. “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.”
“Such a fresh and inspired take on this play! I don’t think I’m ever going to come down from the high of seeing Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves do air guitar on stage,” she continued. “Cannot put into words how special it is (part pregnancy brain fog / part awe) go see it if you have the chance! @godotbway.”
