Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin Reflect on Shared Challenges as Former Child Actors

The couple discussed how their experiences in Hollywood shaped their perspectives and strengthened their connection.

Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin revealed they bonded over shared 'trauma' from their time as child actors during an appearance on the podcast Sibling Revelry.
Song described an 'unspoken understanding' between the two about the lasting impact of childhood fame, including anxieties and stressors they only recognized as adults.
Culkin, who was one of the most famous child actors, faced family conflicts during his career, while Song had a different but equally demanding experience in Hollywood.
The couple, who began dating in 2017 and share two children, Dakota, 3, and Carson, 2, have found support in their shared understanding of the industry.
Both continue to work in entertainment, with Song starring in recent projects like the Netflix series Running Point and Culkin appearing in shows like The Righteous Gemstones.
