Kieran Culkin has seen his bank balance soar over the years thanks to his hit role in HBO's Succession – but his estimated $5 million net worth did not influence his humble living arrangement.
The 42-year-old 2025 Oscar nominee, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the comedy-drama A Real Pain, spent decades living in a one-bedroom apartment in New York City.
Even after he married his wife, Jazz Charton, 36, and they welcomed two children, daughter Kinsey Sioux, five, and son Wilder Wolf, three, Kieran and his family still lived in the tiny apartment.
Before Kieran and Jazz welcomed their son, he revealed the couple were forced to give up their bedroom to their daughter, forcing him and his then-pregnant wife to sleep on a mattress in their living room.
"We live in New York City apartments, I'm sure it's similar to this [in London], like, the corner of our bedroom is the nursery. So, we weren't really prepared for all that," he said on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X in August 2022.
"And then eventually friends kept telling us, 'You know you're going to have to give that kid its own room'. We have a one-bedroom apartment, there's, what, the kitchen? I don't know, where does it go?"

The actor confessed that Jazz questioned why the family was all squeezing into such a small space despite Kieran's successful role as Roman Roy on the HBO show.

Kieran is not on social media and while Jazz is, she doesn't post much about their home or children, but in the past she shared a few glimpses inside their home, revealing a modest décor with white walls, gray carpets, and a view that overlooks another building.

Their bigger living space may come in handy as Kieran is quite keen to add more children to their brood.

"Thank you for sharing your life with me and giving me two amazing kids, Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf," he said to his wife directly, who was sitting in the audience watching proudly.
"I love you so many and so much. And Jazz, I want more. You said! You said maybe if I win! I love you so much."

"Then when I won the Globe I said, 'Remember what you said,' and she didn't remember and I spent all week nervous, and instead of talking to her like a human, I blasted her on stage, and it was very rude."
© InstagramKieran and Jazz met in 2012 and decided to get hitched a year later. The pair were enjoying life travelling together and, in June 2013, while on a road trip in Iowa, they decided to get married on the side of the road.
At the time, they kept details of the nuptials private but did share a sweet photo of two cushions with the words, "Mr. Culkin" and "Mrs. Culkin."
