Macaulay Culkin, the 42-year-old Home Alonestar, and his fiancée, actress Brenda Song, 34, recently welcomed their second child, a boy named Carson, born around Christmas. The couple, known for their private life, kept the pregnancy under wraps, announcing it after a few months.
Parents of two boys
Culkin and Song are now proud parents to two boys. Their firstborn, Dakota, arrived in April 2021, named in memory of Culkin’s late sister, who passed away in 2008. The couple shared the news of Dakota’s birth after a period of privacy, expressing their joy in a brief statement, “We’re overjoyed.”
They are devoted to parenthood
The 2 actors have been romantically linked since 2017, and they got engaged at the beginning of 2022, just a few months after Dakota’s birth.
Song described her relationship with Culkin as “unbelievable” because of how good it is to spend her life with him. “Culkin told me, ‘I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.” After a while, he realized, “No—sometimes it’s just good.’” Song recalled.
Engaged in 2022, just months after Dakota’s birth, Culkin and Song are devoted to hands-on parenting. They prefer family support over a nanny, with Brenda’s mom assisting them since the birth of their first son. Brenda shared that her mom would even bring the baby to set for breastfeeding during work hours.
They have a solid couple dynamics
Emphasizing the importance of communication, Brenda highlighted the challenges of the early months of parenting. She stressed the significance of being communicative and flexible instead of having set duties, demonstrating the couple’s strong bond and teamwork.
She shared, “I think when you and your partner have kids, especially the first few months, you don’t have the patience to be polite with each other.” She added, ’’Being communicative when you need help is so important. Instead of having set duties, we just feel each other out.’’
Culkin’s life before Song
Following his split from Kunis, it appeared that Culkin had resigned himself to a loveless fate. However, in 2017, a serendipitous encounter changed the narrative. Brenda Song entered his life while filming Changeland, a meeting that caught even the film’s director, Seth Green, off guard. Green later confessed that he “didn’t see [their relationship] coming.”
Brenda and Macaulay connected swiftly, facilitated by their shared background as child stars. The unique bond formed over the challenges of growing up in the spotlight was a significant factor in their quick rapport. Song described the unspoken understanding between child actors, saying, “Child actors, we don’t even get to talk about it, you just look each other in the eye, and you nod, and we know.”
In this unexpected turn of events, love returned to Culkin’s life, and the couple’s connection blossomed against all expectations. We also appreciate Culkin and Song’s authentic and straightforward approach to parenthood. You may also want to read how Blake Lively saved Ryan Reynolds after facing his divorce.

I Gave My House to My Son — He Betrayed Me in a Horrific Way
Betrayal is among the most devastating feelings, but it takes on an even more horrible dimension if it comes from a close family member.
That’s the case of Josie, who felt utterly crushed when her son lied to her.
The devoted mother made a decision to give her house to her son and his young wife so they could comfortably start a family, but things took a turn that Josie wouldn’t have expected in a million years. She sent a letter to us to share her story and ask for advice.
Here’s her story
I live alone in a 3-bedroom house. My recently married son kept saying that it was the perfect home to start a family, so I ended up giving it to them while I went to live with my widowed sister.
Yesterday, my son told me that his mother-in-law is moving in with them. I said, “I didn’t leave my home to have her live with you.”
My daughter-in-law declared, “We lied about starting a family right away. We are not ready yet; we’re too young.” She added, “But my mom is alone. We have a big house now, so she will come live with us.”
I was furious and said that I didn’t agree to this arrangement. I reminded her that it is still technically my house.
My son then stated, “My MIL is much more in need of us than you are. She’s my family too now and I have to take care of her.”
I feel betrayed and heartbroken. What should I do?
