When we think of Macaulay Culkin, many of us still remember him as the mischievous kid from the Home Alone movies. It’s hard to believe that he’s now in his 40s! But recently, Culkin has been making headlines for something different – his journey into fatherhood.
Despite his desire for privacy, it’s hard not to notice when a child is born to a child star. Culkin and his fiancée, Brenda Song, recently welcomed their second child, a beautiful baby boy named Carson. It’s astonishing how they managed to keep the pregnancy a secret from the public eye.
The couple’s first son, Dakota, was named after Culkin’s late sister who passed away in 2008. Even Dakota’s birth came as a surprise to many, as they kept it under wraps until they released a statement expressing their absolute joy.
Culkin and Song have been together since 2017 and got engaged shortly after Dakota’s birth in 2022. Song has described their relationship as unbelievable, cherishing every moment they spend together. Culkin, on the other hand, admitted that he was waiting for something to go wrong, but then realized he had something truly special.
When it comes to parenting, both Culkin and Song are very hands-on. They prefer to support each other as a family rather than relying on a nanny. However, Song’s mother has been a tremendous help since Dakota was born.
Communication plays a vital role in their partnership. Song emphasized the importance of open and honest communication. While they have their set duties, they remain flexible and always find ways to connect and strengthen their bond.
Song explained, “I think when you and your partner have kids, especially in the first few months, you don’t have the patience to be polite with each other. Being communicative when you need help is so important. Instead of having set duties, we just feel each other out.”
There were speculations that Culkin would not pursue another romantic relationship after his split in 2017. However, fate had other plans when Song entered his life during the filming of Changeland. Their shared experiences as former child stars helped them forge a unique bond, as they understood the challenges they faced in their younger years.
It’s heartening to see Culkin find love once again, and we couldn’t be happier seeing how they approach parenthood with such dedication and unity. Parenthood has brought newfound joy and purpose to Culkin’s life, and we wish them all the best on this beautiful journey.
