Brenda Song Shares Sweet Details About Relationship with Macaulay Culkin (Including How They Met)

The Running Point star, 36, recently appeared on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show and shared never-before-heard details about her relationship with Culkin, including how she forgot about their initial meet-cute. “We met through a mutual friend,” she said. “The first time we met, I don’t remember meeting him for the first time.”

Song ran into Culkin shortly after, but their interaction was far from romantic. “The first time I actually remember meeting him, the show that I was on with our friend got cancelled,” she recalled. “He was trying to be funny, being like, ‘You know, the show wasn’t that great anyway, you guys are fine.’”

The actress continued, “I did not like him at all. And he slowly just backed out of the room. He’s like, ‘I’ll just leave.’”

A few years later, the same mutual friend enlisted them for a project, where they reunited and hit it off. 

“We worked a total of, like, ten days and were there for six weeks and started hanging out,” Song said. “I thought he was gonna be my BFF, and then I was like, ‘Oh wait, I kinda have a crush on him.’”

She concluded, “I thought I was gonna have my first fling, and that fling has turned into almost eight years and two kids.”

What a great Hollywood love story.
