During an interview with Access Hollywood, Kieran Culkin admitted that he and his brother Macaulay Culkin have yet to meet each other's youngest kids due to conflicting work schedules.

By sharing that tidbit of information, Kieran let it slip that his brother and wife had welcomed a second child.


At the season 4 premiere of HBO's Succession, in which Kieran stars as cantankerous middle sibling Roman Roy, the 40-year-old New Yorker shared what it was like to have expanded his personal family with cousins for the little ones.

"Well, the cousins live in Los Angeles," he said of Macaulay's kids. "We live in New York."

"I have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old and as busy as I am there's just no getting on a plane and going and same with them."

He revealed:

"I haven't met no. 2 yet and they haven't met [my] no. 2 yet either, cause we just haven't been able to figure that out."

Why Macaulay Culkin & Kieran Culkin’s New Babies Haven’t Met Yetyoutu.be

Macaulay Culkin had his major Hollywood breakthrough in 1990 playing lead character Kevin McCallister in Home Alone.

He and fiancé Suite Life of Zack and Cody alum Brenda Strong have a son, Dakota Song Culkin, who was born in April 2021.

Dakota was named after Macaulay's older sister who died in a car accident in 2008.

The couple recently confirmed they secretly welcomed their second child, Carson, just before Christmas last year.

Kieran and wife Jazz Charton share two kids together: a daughter, Kinsey Sioux, who was born in September 2019; and a son, Wilder Wolf, who was born in August 2021.

The interviewer noted how traveling with an infant can be stressful, to which Kieran agreed, adding:

"We have a 1-and-a-half-year-old, the first go around we did that, she was about 19 months, I think? Nightmare."
"She's 3-and-a-half now — now she's good on a plane—but our son is about a year-and-a-half, so we're not getting him on a plane anytime soon."
"It's just a nightmare."

Earlier in the interview, Kieran talked about how he had been oblivious to the increasing popularity of Succession due to his private life at home.

"I really don't have a sense of that until people tell me," he said when asked to elaborate on his thoughts about the show's overall success.

"I live in a very small little world. I'm at work and if I'm not, I'm at home with my wife and kids. I don't really do anything."

The two brothers have worked together as child actors in a number of films, including Home Alone and Home Alone 2, in which they played cousins.

Kieran won a Critics' Choice Television Award in 2022 for his performance in Succession and also earned nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2020 and 2022, as well as three Golden Globe Award nominations in 2019, 2020, and 2022, for the same role.

The fourth and final season of Succession will premiere on HBO Max on March 26, 2023.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
