Macaulay Culkin is most famous for his iconic role in the Christmas film “Home Alone”. The star is now engaged to actress Brenda Song and enjoying every moment of fatherhood.

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song were famous from childhood; Culkin starred in the favorite Christmas movie, “Home Alone,” which is still the must-watch film to keep the holiday spirit going.

The romance between the childhood stars sparked when they acted in the 2019 film “Changland.” The dating rumors started in 2017 while the film was still in production. They went on a double date in Buena Park, California, with Seth Green and his wife, Clare Grant.

A few months later, the new couple took a trip to the city of love, Paris, with Culkin’s goddaughter, Paris Jackson. The relationship was kept private, but a year later, “They were spotted holding hands and being cute with each other,” reported Us Weekly.

However, a year later, Song spoke to Us Weekly and gushed over her boyfriend. She said, “[The relationship is] great! I don’t like to talk about my personal life, but everything’s wonderful, and I’m happy.”

Malkin had an interesting way of telling Rogan that they had already started the process of conceiving. He said:

“I mean, we’ve definitely been practicing. [With] this one, I’m going to have some pretty babies. She’s Asian, so I’m gonna have tiny little Asian babies. It’s going to be adorable.”
