Kieran Culkin‘s pregnant wife Jazz Charton had a special evening out before welcoming her third baby.
The soon-to-be mom of three, 37, and the Succession star, 42, attended the Broadway opening for Waiting for Godot, which stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 28. In the caption of a post recapping the evening, Charton joked that seeing Reeves, 61, up close is the reason she’s now 9 months pregnant, noting it’s “very on brand” for her.
“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.”

More than a year after asking his wife for more kids onstage as he won a 2024 Emmy Award, the couple, who is already parents to son Wilder, 4, and daughter Kinsey, 6, are expecting their third baby together. Charton and Culkin revealed they were expecting at the opening night for Waiting for Godot, walking the carpet together with Charton’s baby bump on display.
The 42-year-old actor smiled and posed proudly with his pregnant wife as he put his hand on her belly.
Culkin mentioned the “baby pacts” he and his wife made during his acceptance speech at the 2025 Oscars. The doting dad, who won Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in the Jesse Eisenberg-directed film A Real Pain, has been vocal about his desire for more kids. On stage, the actor shared a hilarious story about his wife saying that she’d give him two more kids under one condition: he 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.

On Tuesday, March 4, Charton shared several pictures from the 97th Academy Awards 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?”
In a conversation with Sing Sing actor Colman Domingo for Variety‘s ‘Actors on Actors’ series published in December 2024, the She’s All That actor said that he loves almost everything about being a dad. However, there is one task that stands out as his least favorite.
“What do you like about being a father?” Domingo asked, to which Culkin joked, “Absolutely everything except dinner time.” The Home Alone alum added, “I love everything else.”
“It feels like nothing else matters,” he shared, describing what fatherhood is like for him. “I’m a dad now, and my only role in life is that. That’s real life. All this is lovely, but I’m just trying to get home.”
