Kieran Culkin’s wife Jazz Charton has shared a rare insight into their marriage and revealed the moment she knew he was the one.
Jazz stole the spotlight at the Oscars earlier this month when Kieran took home his first Academy Award at this year’s star-studded ceremony.
While accepting the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in A Real Pain, Kieran admitted that his wife agreed to give him a fourth child if he ever won an Academy Award.
It was the moment that got the audience and fans at home watching laughing and crying over the heart-warming speech.
But since she was thrust into the spotlight at the Oscars, Jazz has received heaps of interest around her and their marriage.
Jazz was in a bar in the East Village in New York when Kieran propped a chair next to her and asked her on a date in their first meeting.

When her friend went to the bathroom, she revealed he came over and asked: ‘Is that your boyfriend?’
She told The Sunday Times: ‘He was very forward but hilariously so, and he said, “There’s this Indian restaurant that’s really good”. I said, “Oh cool, can you give me the name?” And he said, “No, you idiot, I want to take you there”.’
A year later the couple got proposed on a road trip to California.
She added: ‘He got down between two dumpsters and said, “Will you marry me?” I was, like, “Really, here? I mean, yes, obviously, but really?”‘
Jazz said she knew Kieran was the one when he would always keep calm during an argument.
She said: ‘That was one of the ways I knew he was the right person. Kieran is the most charismatic person you’ll ever meet and you just want to be around him. But I also wanted to be like him in terms of how he behaves. Nothing really fazes him.’
Born in the UK and grew up with her single mother in a ordinary household, Jazz has relatively kept a low profile all her life.
She relocated to New York City as soon as she finished school to follow her dreams of living in America.

The couple, who were married in 2013, are already parents to daughter Kinsey, five, and son Wilder Wolf, three
And so she did as the happily married couple continue to live in New York with their two children Kinsey Sioux, five, and Wilder, three.
On stage at the Oscars, he said: ‘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.’
‘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,”‘ Kieran recounted to the audience.
At that moment, he recalled Jazz saying: ‘I will give you four when you win an Oscar.’
Kieran then took the opportunity to remind Jazz 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 camera cut to Jazz in the crowd, as she was seen laughing at her husband’s candid acceptance speech and seemingly agreed to follow through on her promise.
