People all throughout the world recognize Macaulay Culkin as the charming
and mischievous Kevin McAllister, the little child from the "Home Alone"
films from the 1990s. Furthermore, despite growing up and carrying on with
his acting career, although in more specialized and unconventional parts, he
has never quite shed the stigma associated with the "Home Alone"
youngster.
In 1990, Culkin featured in the first "Home Alone" film, which came out
when he was just 10 years old. With a total revenue of $476.7 million, the
Christmas comedy movie was an enormous hit and held the record for highest
earning live-action comedy until "The Hangover" surpassed it in 2011.
In addition to the beloved holiday feature, he had success with other films
including "My Girl," "The Good Son," "Uncle Buck," and several more. In a
few years, he starred in many films due to his high demand at the
time.
He had personal issues that the world was unaware of until much later in
his career, despite the fact that many would consider him to be
wealthy.
His mother sued for sole custody after his parents, who had never been
married, split up. The celebrity and his parents got into a highly
publicized argument about his earnings, which were placed in a trust fund
and were estimated to be worth about $20 million.
He then became engaged to the actress Brenda Song, and he broke down in
tears as he spoke to her during a speech at one of the most significant
events in his professional life. See what he had to say about his sweetheart
by reading on.
Although Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song met on the set of the comedy
"Dads," their love story started in 2017. In 2018, the actor disclosed in an
episode of his podcast "Bunny Ears" that Song had at first dismissed
him.
The former Disney Channel actress stated that she wasn't very interested in
her future partner because she was "focused," as Today reported in 2023.
Later on, she made a joke about how the actor's "man bun" put her off.
The pair collaborated on the film "Changeland" in 2017. People Magazine
said at the time that the couple's love relationship had started after they
were spotted together on a night out in West Hollywood.
In response to a question from Us Weekly Magazine on her romantic life with
the actor in 2018, Song obliquely stated, "It's great! Everything's going
well for the two of us."I'm content and everything is great in my personal
life, but I don't want to discuss it.
In 2020, Culkin disclosed that he was trying for a child with his fiancée
in a cover story for Esquire Magazine. He also quipped that the two of them
"practice a lot."
He said, "We're working it out, getting the timing right."
The couple eventually welcomed their first child, a boy they named Dakota
Song Culkin, in 2021. That April, he was born in Los Angeles,
California.
They went with the name Dakota in remembrance of the actor's late sister,
who also had the same name and died in 2008.
When Song was seen in public in January 2022, speculations about her
engagement started to circulate since she was seen sporting what seemed to
be an engagement ring. She subsequently discussed their wedding preparations
with People Magazine, and it appeared like she was struggling since they had
to put their infant first.
"Planning a wedding is quite costly and time-consuming. We're so busy being
new moms," she remarked.
In December 2022, the couple had their second child.
Song said in an interview with The Cut that she and her fiancé are "very
hands-on" when it comes to their parenting abilities. She explained that her
mom had been assisting them since the first baby was born, even though they
don't hire a nanny.
After receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December 2023,
Macaulay Culkin made his first-ever public appearance alongside his fiancé
and their two kids. The second kid of Culkin and Song has yet to have a
definite name.
The actor broke down in tears during his remarks to thank Song.
I'm grateful to Brenda for... You are everything at all. You are my hero.
In a video that Entertainment Tonight posted to Instagram, he stated,
"You're the only person happier for me today than I am."
She was the greatest person in his life, he said, in addition to being the
best lady he had ever known.
"You've given me my family and my whole sense of purpose. You guys have
grown to be three of my favorite people since the birth of our two babies.
I'm so in love with you," he said, sobbing.
