The couple first met at a bar in New York City while Charton was working in the music department of an advertising company. "I said, ‘I’m Kieran. You have an English accent. What’s your name?’” Kieran told The Hollywood Reporter of their meet cute. "She said, ‘Jazz.’ I said, ‘J-A-Z-Z, like the music?’ And she said, ‘Yeah.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s f--king stupid.’”

The two tied the knot while on a road trip together in Iowa. A month after their low-key nuptials, Charton shared a pic of their matching pillows that read "Mrs. Culkin" and "Mr. Culkin" via Instagram.

The Home Alone star called his wife the "most beautiful girl" in an interview with iNews, adding, “When someone is as beautiful as my wife, you just want to be close to that.”

He went on to share more details about their first meeting. Noticing that Charton was with another guy at the bar where he introduces himself, the actor shared, “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."

Six years after saying "I do," the duo announced they were expecting their first child. "My favourite surprise so far," Charton captioned a sonogram pic via Instagram. "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."

Before officially becoming parents, the two took a babymoon trip together.

"And just like that our little Kinsey Sioux (‘Zissou’) is home," Charton captioned an Instagram pic of herself holding her and the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star's newborn daughter. "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. 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."

Nearly two years later, Kieran and Charton announced that they were expecting baby No. 2.

The proud parents revealed that they welcomed their son, Wilder Wolf, a month after he was born in August 2021. "One month with our perfect little man 8.17.21," Charton captioned a slideshow of Instagram pics with her baby.

Two months after becoming a father of two, the Paper Man star revealed that he and his wife didn't have a name picked out for their son until seven weeks after Wilder Wolf was born.

“We had a dry-erase board, and we just went over every name we’d thought of," he said on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "We were like, ‘Let’s focus on girl names because we like these,’ and we narrowed it down to two names we really liked. We agreed it was going to be one of those two names if it’s a girl, and if it’s a boy, we’re screwed. And we had a boy. And spent seven weeks arguing about names.”

Charton showed her support for her husband's first-time Saturday Night Live hosting gig via Instagram. "Proud would be an understatement," she captioned a pic from his SNL photo shoot. "So lucky to see this impressive man achieve his dreams - even while our kids deprive me of sleep and just general quality of life. Going to the after party was a mistake."

"9 years," Charton captioned a sweet photo of herself and Kieran kissing at their wedding via Instagram in honor of their almost 10-year anniversary.

The couple made a rare red carpet appearance together at the Succession season four premiere.

The pair looked more in love than ever while walking the red carpet at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. While posing for photographers, Culkin playfully bit his wife’s shoulder while Charton burst into laughter.

Culkin and Charton rocked the Met Gala carpet in New York City on May 6. The duo were the perfect picture of romance in complementary outfits, with Culkin sporting an oil painting-inspired suit by KidSuper and Charton donning a floor-length yellow gown featuring a thigh-high slit.

Kieran and Charton stepped out at the 2025 Golden Globes. During his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for A Real Pain, Kieran gushed about his “gorgeous wife,” who took a tequila shot with him and Mario Lopez before the awards show. Kieran celebrated his win in the press room by giving Charton a kiss.
