The love story of Hollywood stars Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin is truly one for the ages, proving that their relationship can stand the test of time.
On January 27, 2025, the highly private couple gave a rare joint interview with Cosmopolitan magazine for its Love Issue in honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day.
Reflecting on the early days of their romance, Brenda revealed how Macaulay took an extraordinary step to help her understand him better—he gave her all his personal journals. This gesture allowed her to truly know him, unfiltered and without pretense.
Speaking about the experience, Brenda shared,
“I saw this person he put out there—it was a product of this armor that he’s put on to protect himself. But I could see that that wasn’t really who he was; I could see these glimpses of this really interesting, very sensitive, very intelligent, artistic person that he doesn’t really let show”.
The couple, who first met on the set of their 2017 film Changeland, credit their love story to the thoughtful advice of one of Brenda’s closest friends.
Reflecting on that period, the Secret Obsession star shared that she had been single for two years before working with Culkin. Her friends encouraged her to take a chance on him. Directly quoting her friend’s advice, Brenda revealed,
“If you’re going to ever have a fling, Mack is a safe person”.

“I got your back no matter what. I’ll do whatever you say you want to do. I’m in this to the end, to the very end… I’d never felt this way before. I believed in her. I mean, I believed in people before, but I believed in her down to my bone marrow. You know what I mean?”
