Culkin was among the list of acclaimed actors and actresses nominated for their performances this year.
While accepting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in A Real Pain, Culkin admitted that his wife, Jazz Charton, agreed to give him a fourth child if he ever won an Academy Award.
‘About a year ago, I was on a stage like this and I very stupidly, publicly said that I want a third kid from her because she said if I won the award she would give me the kid,’ Culkin said on-stage while holding his Oscar statuette.
‘Turns out she said that because she didn’t think I was gonna win,’ he jokingly shared.
‘She goes, “Oh god, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid.” And I turned to her and I said, “Really, I want four,”‘ Culkin recounted to the audience.
At that moment, he recalled Charton saying: ‘I will give you four when you win an Oscar.’
Culkin then took the opportunity to remind Charton of her promise, pointing out that he has ‘not brought it up once until just now.’
‘But I just have this to say to you Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith,’ he joked. ‘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?’
The Succession star used his acceptance speech to remind his wife, Jazz Charton, that she promised to give him four children if he ever won the Oscar
Culkin and Charton walked the Oscars red carpet together on Sunday evening outside the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles
The camera cut to Charton in the crowd, as she was seen laughing at her husband’s candid acceptance speech and seemingly agreed to follow through on her promise.
Back in 2012, the 36-year-old writer met Culkin at a bar in New York City. Charton, who was born in London and raised by a single mom, started dating Culkin shortly after their first meeting.
One year later, the pair eloped in Iowa while on a road trip.
These days, the couple are proud parents to five-year-old daughter Kinsey and three-year-old son Wilder Wolf.
Demi Moore was left crushed as Mikey Madison beat her to the coveted Best Actress award at the 2025 Oscars, on a night when Anora dominated with five wins including Best Picture.
Demi, 62, had been a clear front-runner and her fury was palpable as 25-year-old rising star Mikey’s name was called out in front of a stunned audience at the 97th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Other big winners on Sunday night included Zoe Saldana, who took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the controversial Emilia Perez, and Adrien Brody, who triumphed over Timothée Chalamet for the Best Actor award with his performance in the The Brutalist. Kieran Culkin kicked off the evening with a Best Supporting Actor win for A Real Pain.

Demi could be seen with a clenched jaw as her name wasn’t called, but she did say ‘nice’ to herself as she applauded Mikey’s big win.
It was a particularly surprising upset because Demi had won the actress award at most of the major pre-Oscar events for her role in The Substance.
Mikey portrays an escort in Anora, an independent film with a $6 million budget for which Sean Baker won Best Director. She recognised the sex worker community in a touching acceptance speech.
She said: ‘I also just want to, again, recognise and honour the sex worker community. I will. Yes. I will continue to support and be an ally.
‘All of the incredible people, the women that I’ve had the privilege of meeting from that community has been one of the highlights of this incredible experience.’
