Macaulay Culkin’s Brother Rory Says He Reclaimed This Family Throne

For his part, Macaulay also had to figure out the way he wanted to parent his and fiancée Brenda Song’s two sons Dakota, 5, and Carson, 3.

“There’s a word that I use in my household, because it’s something that I didn’t really hear enough of when I was a kid. And that’s ‘proud,'” he shared on the Mythical KitchenYouTube series in December. “Man, I’m proud of my kids.”

Indeed, Macaulay even made sure to reinforce his pride after one of his sons experienced a bit of stage fright. 

“My kid, he does his recital, and the curtain opens, and he’s really excited about it — he’s gonna play a bug,” he continued, “and as soon as the curtain opens, he freezes and he cries, and he runs off stage.”

So, as Macaulay recalled, “I go scoop him up. And the first thing out of my mouth is, ‘Man, I’m so proud of you. You were so brave to go out there like that.'”

And that emotion extends to himself, too.

“I’m proud that I can provide for my family in that kind of way,” Macaulay shared, “and that I can love my family the right kind of way.”
