Kieran Culkin reveals the surprising deal he made with wife Jazz if he won an

It was a night of celebration for Kieran Culkin, as the actor won the award for Best Supporting Actor at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday.
Having already won a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award for his role in Jesse Eisenberg's A Real Pain, Kieran used his acceptance speech to remind his wife, Jazz Charton, of a promise she made if he won an Oscar.

The father of five-year-old daughter Kinsey Sioux and three-year-old son Wilder Wolf, took to the stage to share a conversation he had with Jazz about having another child.

Kieran said: "About a year ago, I was on a stage like this and I publicly said I wanted a third child because she told me that if I won the award, she would give me another child."


"She said to me, 'Oh my God, I really did. I think I owe you a third child.' And I turned to her and said, 'Actually, I want four.'"

Revealing their agreement, Kieran recalled how Jazz had humorously replied:
"I'll give you the fourth one when you win an Oscar."

Ending the speech on a cheerful note, the actor added:
"I haven't mentioned this before, but I have something to tell you, Jazz, the love of my life – no pressure, I love you, I'm so sorry I did this again... and let's get to work on those kids. How about it?"
