Brenda Song imparted some vital life lessons to her partner, Macaulay Culkin, during their time together. During a recent visit to The Jennifer Hudson Show to promote her new Netflix series, Running Point, Hudson curiosity piqued as she inquired about a revealing tidbit from their January Cosmopolitan cover story—Brenda teaching the Home Alone star the basics of laundry.
"I often remark that Mac is one-of-a-kind," Brenda shared with a chuckle. "As the most renowned child actor globally, he spent his formative years living in hotels. Laundry was a chore he'd never tackled. Honestly, it blew my mind," she admitted. "I've been doing laundry since I was ten, lending a hand to my mom. So, it was quite amusing to tutor him in this domestic art."
The former Suite Life of Zack & Cody actress elaborated on other skills she's imparted to her fiancé. "He still hasn't mastered the art of driving," she continued, amusement tinged with concern. "I took him for a spin around our neighborhood, and I was petrified. Here was this 44-year-old man behind the wheel for the very first time. I thought, 'Absolutely not!' I'll just hire a professional for that."
The couple's love story blossomed in 2017, culminating in an engagement in 2022. They now cherish two beautiful children together.
Elsewhere in the engaging conversation, Hudson confessed that Home Alone was her all-time favorite film, prompting Brenda to reminisce about watching the holiday classic with Culkin, who shot to fame as Kevin McCallister at the tender age of ten.
"I've made it a tradition to watch Home Alone every Christmas," Brenda reminisced. "He hadn't seen it in nearly a decade, and I insisted we revisit it. He was hesitant, but I was like, 'We have to!'" she recounted. "As soon as we started watching, he began spilling behind-the-scenes secrets, and I had to interrupt, 'Stop! You're spoiling it for me!'"
While Brenda acknowledges the film's endearing place in people's hearts, she admits that it's now "difficult" for her to watch it without a tinge of bittersweet nostalgia.
