“I’ve been asking for a while," Culkin explained to reporters about why he announced “I want more” while accepting his award for his role inSuccession.

“Jazz said, ‘Maybe if you win the Emmy,' ” he continued. “I didn’t bring it up for months, and then when I won the Globe, I said, ‘Do you remember what you said?’ And she was like, ‘What? No. What did I say? I don’t remember this.’ ”

Here’s everything to know about Culkin and Charton’s kids.

Kinsey Sioux was born on Friday the 13th

Given her spooky birthday, it’s no surprise that Kinsey takes Halloween seriously. In October 2024, Culkin told PEOPLE that she had a last minute costume change after their family had already decided to dress as Ninja Turtles.

“So now we got tostrap together some Spider-Man stuff,” he said, adding that Kinsey will dress as Gwen Stacy, who’s also known as Ghost Spider in the franchise.

“Gwen Stacy in the cartoon has, like, pink in the end of her hair. I’m gonna try to get that going,” he said. “I’m not gonna dye it. I’m gonna temporary wash that s—.”

Kieran Culkin and Jazz Charton never considered being parents until they had their daughter

During an appearance ontheFresh Airpodcast, Culkin opened up about parenthood, saying that “it was never something we considered until we did it.”

“Now it is quite actually the greatest — way better than I could have imagined!” he continued. “It doesn’t matter how hard it gets. Like with anything else, you have a job that’s too difficult or a relationship that’s too hard, you just end it. It’s like, done, move on. [With parenthood] it doesn’t matter how hard it gets. It’s always fulfilling and always wonderful. And I’m only two years into it. So who knows, but it’s the greatest thing, way better than I could have imagined.”

Wilder Wolf was born in August 2021

“One month with our perfect little man,” Charton wrote in the caption. She went on to share their son’s birth date and added the hashtag “gettheepidural,” a reference to her first birth during which she didn’t receive any pain medication.

Kinsey had the only room in the family’s apartment after Wilder’s birth

Duringan interview withThe Telegraphpublished in December 2021, Culkin discussed his hectic life as a father of two, which included staying in their one-bedroom apartment. Kinsey slept in the bedroom and Culkin and Charton slept on a mattress on the floor (and Wilder presumably in a crib).

“I don’t even sit down when I eat anymore,” Culkin told the publication.

Kieran Culkin doesn’t like to be away from his kids for too long

In a chat with Taika Waititi forInterview, Culkin opened up aboutbalancing his work and home lifeas he was filming a project in Poland.

“I have a 1 1⁄2-year-old and a 3 1⁄2-year-old, and we’re going to be bouncing around Poland. I don’t like being away from them for more than two days at a time, and it’s not practical for me to have them there the whole time,” he said “I’m working on trying to convince my wife [Jazz Charton] to come out for two weeks and bring the kids. It’s just a lot on her.”

He went on to recall a conversation with a friend who had to travel away from his kids for months at a time, saying, “I remember thinking, ‘You must have a very disconnected relationship with them.'”

“Then I see him with his kids, and they’re still intensely close. I guess there’s just an understanding that Dad has to go away for long stretches of time. But I saw that and I’m like, ‘Oh, okay. There’s still a chance to be a good parent and have a connection with your kids even if you’re busy,’ " said Culkin, adding, “But then again, my kids are between 1 and 3. I do need to be home because if I go for a week, they change.”

They’ve visited Kieran Culkin on set

While Culkin makes a point to see his kids as often as possible when he’s working, his kids have alsovisited him on set from time to time. In May 2023, Charton posted a handful of sweet photos of his kids roaming around hisSuccessioncharacter Logan Roy’s apartment.

“The alternate reality Roman where he’s a dad but still an arsehold (♥️ ),” Charton teased in the caption.
