Kieran Culkin is not immune to the worries of raising and taking care of a toddler, as he reveals one of his biggest fears as a father. Parenting, which comes with its own set of anxieties, is never an easy task, and the same goes for celebrities. These anxieties only double when there is a toddler in the house. Culkin, who shares three kids with his wife, Jazz Charton, is no stranger to these worries. 

He recently shared one of his biggest fears when it comes to his toddler.

Kieran Culkin recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight in an interview, during which he was asked about his children and whether there was anything that scared him. The actor shared that he has a one-year-old at home. As many parents know, children at this age are often curious and eager to explore their surroundings, which can sometimes lead them into potentially dangerous situations, as Culkin shared. 

“One-year-olds are just walking around the house, trying to murder themselves so that keeps you on your toes. Because someone always has to be following them around doing that half-walk thing with the hands out, which doesn't really do anything. Oh look he opened the dishwasher? Oh, the knives, great!” he said.

During the interview, the actor also shared that joked that while he and his wife try to maintain discipline as much as they can, their 7-year-old is "kind of in charge of things." Culkin is the father of three children, Kinsey Sioux, Wilder Wolf, and their one-year-old. The couple revealed that they were expecting their third child in September 2025, and welcomed their baby boy in November of the same year, as per Culkin’s Succession co-star Sarah Snook. The couple often keep sharing glimpses of their time with the kids on social media.

While the Family Guy star, Culkin grew up in the limelight, not much was known about his wife, who has recently come in the spotlight.

Who is Kieran Culkin’s wife?

Although not much is known about Jazz Charton, she was reportedly born in London and raised by a single mother, former model-turned-artist Corinne “Coco” Charton. She later moved to New York in 2010, where she met her husband, Kieran Culkin, at a bar, and the two have been close ever since. They eventually tied the knot in 2013 during a trip to Iowa.
