When Operation Taco Gary’s premiered at the Austin Film Festival, cast and crew walked the red carpet. But it was an appearance by one of the cast members’ partners that had the crowd buzzing. That’s because Macaulay Culkin joined partner Brenda Song in Austin for the fest.
Though Song decided not to walk the red carpet for interviews, we were able to snag some photo and video of her and Culkin arriving at the event.
The couple has been together since 2017 and welcomed their first child, a son, on April 5, 2021. Their second son was born in December 2022.
In December of 2023, Macaulay Culkin was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame while Song and one of their sons looked on. During his acceptance speech, the child actor spoke of their children.
Culkin said. “You know, you made my kids’ dad, their papa, look good. And the most important thing to me is also that their papa understands that he wasn’t always papa. He used to be a kid too, you know?”
Song became visibly emotional during her partner’s speech.
“Lastly, but not leastly, I’d like to thank Brenda.” Culkin said. “You are absolutely everything. You’re my champion. You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known. You’ve given me, just, all my purpose. You’ve given me family.”
He went on to say, “And after the birth of our two boys, you’ve become one of my three favorite people. You’re somewhere in there. But I love you. I love you so much.”
