Do you know Macaulay Culkin is now in his 40s? When we think of him, we often recall the little kid from the Home Alone films.
Recently, Macaulay Culkin is back in the news, but for a different reason. He typically stays private and values his personal space, but it’s noticeable when a former child star transitions into parenthood.
Macaulay Culkin and his fiancée, Brenda Song, who is 34 years old, just became parents for the second time, welcoming their new son, Carson. What’s fascinating is that a lot of people didn’t even know Brenda was pregnant.
Now, Culkin and Brenda have two boys: Dakota, named after Culkin’s sister, who passed away in 2008, and the newest addition, Carson. Dakota’s arrival also surprised many as they kept it under wraps until they revealed the happy news later.
The couple has been a pair since 2017, and they decided to get engaged in 2022, shortly after Dakota was born. Brenda shared that their relationship is amazing, and she enjoys sharing her life with him. Culkin once had concerns, but then he realized he had something really special happening.
Culkin and Song are hands-on parents who like doing things as a family rather than hiring a nanny, although Brenda’s mom has been helping since Dakota was born.
Brenda stressed the importance of communication for them. They have specific roles but stay flexible to talk and connect. She said, “When you and your partner have kids, especially in the first few months, you don’t have the patience to be polite. Being open when you need help is crucial. Instead of fixed duties, we just figure things out together.”
Some people didn’t think Culkin would enter new romantic relationships after his 2017 breakup. However, Brenda came into his life during the filming of Changeland, and they quickly became a couple.
Both were child stars, and that shared experience helped them bond over the challenges they faced when they were younger.
It’s heartening to see Culkin find love again, and we’re glad to see how well they navigate parenthood together.
