Dad of 2 Kieran Culkin Says 'Sorry Honey' to Wife as He Enjoys a Kid-Free Night at the SAG Awards

Kieran Culkin is catching up with hisSuccessioncostars, enjoying martinis and walking the red carpet at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild awards — but don’t tell his wife!

As a newly-minted dad of two (he and wifeJazz Chartonwelcomedson Wilder Wolf, 5 months, in August, joining daughterKinsey Sioux, 2) he can’t help but feel guilty for his child-free night out, he told PEOPLE red carpet correspondents Gerrad Hall and Andrea Boehlke.

“I’ll tell ya, leaving my wife behind with the two kids, I do feel bad that I’m at a lovely hotel having martinis with friends,” Culkin, 39, said. “So, sorry honey. I’m trying to paint a picture that it’s awful, it’s dreadful, but I’m kind of having a lovely time.”

“I’m still trying to figure out what kind of hangover I have,” he admitted, explaining that he was able to catch up with them “at the hotel last night, over martinis — so that would be the hangover.”

But life as a dad of two has been “wonderful” and “nuts,” he said.

Culkin previously talked about their newborn in September, tellingEllen DeGeneresthat they didn’t name him for seven weeks as they went back and forth on a moniker.

“My wife wanted Wolf. She was fighting hard for Wolf,” he explained. “We found [the name] in the hospital the day that he was born and we thought ‘That’s great.’ But instead of pulling the trigger on it, [we thought], ‘Let’s torture ourselves for about seven weeks,’ disagreeing with names before we come around to the name that we picked.”
