Kieran Culkin, who is riding a wave of success playing Roman Roy on HBO’s hit show “Succession,” is taking a break from daddy duty to prepare for the Golden Globes on Sunday night.
The 37-year-old supporting actor nominee welcomed his first child in September and has largely been spending his time at home with his wife, Jazz Charton. However, this weekend, he’ll be reveling in the show’s success in Los Angeles.
While it’s unclear if she will be leaving the baby for this year’s show, the couple stunned in Dior on last year’s Golden Globes red carpet. Charton, 32, has even hinted that their daughter, Kinsey Sioux “Zissou,” was conceived that night.
“My favourite surprise so far,” Charton captioned an Instagram of her sonogram in May 2019. “We had no idea how much we wanted this until it happened. We’re excited/terrified/ecstatic/unprepared but we cannot wait to meet our little unexpected creation in September #theglobeswerefun #koalatummy”
Culkin and London-born Charton, a former model, first met at a New York bar in September 2012.
He told Britain’s iNews that he went up to her when the guy she was with went to the bathroom. “I asked if he was her boyfriend and when she said no, I asked if I could be her boyfriend. We’ve been together ever since,” he said.
In mid-2013, the pair were on a road trip around the US, when they stopped in Iowa and decided to tie the knot. “Official!” she wrote alongside a photo of a marriage certificate.
In 2017, Charton posted a throwback pic from their nuptials. “#tbt to taking time out of our road trip to get married by the side of the road in Iowa during a storm 4 years ago today. Still the best pit stop I’ve ever made,” she wrote.
Before finding out they were expecting, Culkin said they weren’t planning on having children.
“It just seems like a lot to take on. I suppose if she gets pregnant, that would be fine, but it’s really not on our horizon,” he said in 2018.
When Kinsey was born in September, Charton took to social media to announce the happy news, as well as share details from the birthing experience.
“After 25 hours of laboring at home, we arrived at the hospital too late for any pain meds as I was already dilated and ready to push (if I ever do this again I want ALL THE DRUGS, all of them!) and she was out within the hour during a full moon on Friday the 13th,” she captioned a pic of her snuggling her baby. “Of course our daughter was born on Friday the 13th.”
She continued, “This is me 4 days postpartum — I live in sexy surgical mesh underwear that’s keeping a world of pain in check, my boobs are engorged, I burst blood vessels in my face from pushing, my big pregnant belly that I loved so much deflated to a mere paunch but it’s all so worth it. I’ve never been more in love and we’ve never felt more complete.”
Not much else is known about Charton, except that she was raised by a single mother, an artist, in the UK.
“Happy Father’s Day to the single mamas too who have to try to fill both roles 🙌,” Charton captioned a photo of her and her mom.
And while it’s unclear if Charton will be walking the carpet with Culkin on Sunday, she will definitely be cheering him on alongside their baby girl — and their cat, Django-Bear.
