In April 2021, Macaulay Culkin and his partner Brenda Song became parents for the first time to a boy they named Dakota. Their relationship began in 2017 when they filmed the tape together Changeland and since then they have been one of the most stable couples and far from the media.
A few days ago we could see the actress with an engagement ring, so the rumors and theories did not wait, although neither of them has spoken about it. However, now Brenda gave an interview with The Cut where he revealed how they are handling their new stage as parents.
Brenda Song is working on the comedy series doll face and claims that she returned to the set to film the second season just 12 weeks after giving birth to her baby. During the interview, she candidly talked about how she tries to handle her motherhood in a traditional way while she works in the production.
My boyfriend and I are very practical. We don’t have a babysitter, but my mom has been here with us since my son was born. She is now nine months old. When she was working, my mom would bring him to the set so she could nurse him and watch him during the day.
The task of parenting
Both actors decided they wanted to pursue full-time parenting, without the help of babysitters. However, they do not rule out having some type of support, especially family support, as there are times when they have to juggle work, the baby and their relationship.
Macaulay Culkin was the highest-paid child star in the 1990s for his leading role in the unforgettable movie we all enjoyed at Christmas: Home Alone. That stage of his life was marked by fame, her relationship with Michael Jackson, as well as the attitude and greed of his father, situations that made him live a really dark past.
Now Macaulay’s present has been transformed by his relationship with Brenda, as well as the experience of being a father and he will surely be in charge of building and giving little Dakota a totally different life.
