After Succession's Kieran Culkin won his first-ever Emmy on Jan. 15, his brother Macaulay Culkin's longtime love, Suite Life alum Brenda Song, gave him a shoutout on social media.

Kieran Culkin isn't celebrating his Emmys win alone.

The Succession star, who portrayed the wickedly beloved Roman Roy on all four seasons of the HBO show, took home the award for Lead Actor In A Drama Series at the Jan. 15 ceremony, beating out Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk, The Old Man's Jeff Bridges, The Last of Us' Pedro Pascal, as well as Succession costars Jeremy Strong and Brian Cox, for the honor. (See the complete list of winners here.)

After Kieran's name was announced, he received a shoutout from brother Macaulay Culkin's longtime love, actress Brenda Song, who wrote on her Instagram Story, "YAY KIERAN!!!!!!!"

This milestone marks Kieran's first-ever Lead Actor Emmy win and nomination for his portrayal of the youngest Roy brother. He previously received nods in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category at the 2020 Emmys and 2022 Emmys.

"I gotta thank Jesse Armstrong for being a brilliant writer, showrunner and gentleman," Kieran said during his acceptance speech at the award show, which was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes. "Thank you for Succession, thank you for everything."

The 41-year-old went on to thank his mom Patricia Brentrup "for giving me life and my childhood, which was great," as well as his manager Emily Gerson Saines for sticking by his side.

Kieran concluded with a message to his "beautiful wife" Jazz Charton.

"Thank you for sharing your life with me and giving me two amazing kids," he told his partner, who was seated in the audience. "Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf, I love you so many and so much."

"And Jazz, I want more," he said as both Jazz and the crowd laughed. "You said 'maybe,' if I win. I love you so much. Thank you."
