Kieran Culkin used his Oscars acceptance speech to playfully remind his wife, Jazz Charton, about a promise she’d made if he won an Academy Award.
Charton, who already shares two children with Culkin, once said that she would give Culkin “four [kids] 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?” Culkin said Sunday during his speech, as his wife agreed from the audience.
Two days after Culkin’s win, Charton publicly responded to her husband’s request ― but didn’t quite say she would fulfill her promise.
“AN OSCAR?!!!! Okay okay hear me out – making empty baby pacts may seem foolish but it’s clearly been a great motivator,” Charton quipped in an Instagram post Tuesday.
“Would he have come this far if I hadn’t kept promising him more kids if he won awards?….. Probably,” she joked. “But who’s to say?”

Culkin and Charton wed in 2013 and have two children: Kinsey and Wilder.
Culkin previously spoke about how difficult it was to name the couple’s son, as it took them seven weeks to make an official decision.
“My wife wanted Wolf. She was fighting hard for Wolf,” the “Succession” star said during an interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2021. “We found it in the hospital the day that he was born and we thought, ‘That’s great,’ but instead of pulling the trigger on it, let’s torture ourselves for about seven weeks, disagreeing with names before we came around to the name that we picked.”
As Culkin and Charton may already have discussed, “Oscar” has a nice ring to it.
