In case you missed the big news last week, actor Macaulay Culkin and his longtime girlfriend, actress Brenda Song are engaged! After Brenda was spotted out and about with a massive rock on that finger, reports came in that the pair are engaged less than one year after welcoming their son!
Now, Brenda is sharing an insight into her and Macualy’s life as parents in a rare new interview.
As fans may recall, the pair welcomed their son, Dakota Song Culkin, last April.
Speaking with “The Cut” the former “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” star revealed that she and Macaulay are very involved in their baby’s life while also confirming those engagement rumors, eee!
“My fiancé and I are very hands-on. We don’t have a nanny, but my mom has been here with us since my son was born…” she explained.
“When I was working, my mom would bring [my son] to set so I could breastfeed and see him during the day. People tell you a lot about labor and pregnancy, but not about the fourth trimester.”
She then went on to give her biggest piece of advice to expectant mothers.
“To my girlfriends that are pregnant I say, make sure you have help. Because your instinct is to want to do it all and you physically can’t.”

Brenda then talked about how having a child has changed her relationship with the “Home Alone” actor.
“I think when you and your partner have kids, especially the first few months, you don’t have the patience to be polite with each other. Being communicative when you need help is so important.”
She continued: “Instead of having set duties, we just feel each other out. I’ll be putting my son down and my partner is like, ‘Let me feed the animals and get dinner ready.'”
It sounds like this pair have got a really amazing system going, and I’m sure their son feels all the love!
