A Love Story For the Ages: Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song’s Journey

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song have captured the hearts of many with their unique love story that began at a chance meeting in 2014. The couple first crossed paths at Seth Green's house following the cancellation of "Dads," an animated show featuring Green and Song. Their bond strengthened when they reunited in 2017 to work on the film "Changeland," released in 2019. Since then, they have built a life together, including raising two young children, Dakota and Carson.

Culkin and Song discovered a profound connection in each other that neither had anticipated. Culkin, best known for his role as Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone," confessed he had never felt about someone the way he felt about Song. Meanwhile, Song expressed surprise at their pairing, humorously noting the unlikely union of London Tipton from "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" with McCallister. Their relationship has largely remained out of the public eye, allowing the couple to cultivate a deep and meaningful partnership.

The couple's family life is filled with heartwarming traditions and quirks. They have spent the past two Christmases watching "Home Alone," much to the delight of their children. Three-year-old Dakota, who shares similarities with his father, even believes he is Kevin McCallister. Two-year-old Carson, on the other hand, boasts Song's distinct raspy voice.

"When I met Mack, there was so much more of me that I hadn't figured out." – Brenda Song

Song has openly shared how Culkin has influenced her personal growth, remarking on how he made her a bigger person. She also noted the balance they bring to each other's lives: Culkin helps her relax, while she ignites his energy. A significant gesture in their relationship involved Culkin giving Song his personal journals to read, revealing deeper aspects of his personality.

"I'm in this to the end, to the very end." – Macaulay Culkin

The couple appears on the cover of Cosmopolitan's latest issue, which highlights stories of love. In this edition, Song describes Culkin as a "safe person" with whom she could have an on-set fling. Culkin humorously reciprocates by calling Song "very fling-able." Despite her success as an Asian American actress in Hollywood, Song acknowledges the challenges she's faced and credits Culkin with helping her find equilibrium.

"I've had to hustle my entire life being an Asian American actress in Hollywood. I've just always had to be very proactive," – Brenda Song
