American actor Macaulay Culkin secretly welcomed his second child with his fiance, actress Brenda Song.

According to several news reports, the 42-year-old star and Song became parents to another son, Carson, somewhere before Christmas 2022. However, the couple kept the news under wraps.

The duo previously welcomed their first child, a son named Dakota, in April 2021. A year later in January, they got engaged. The duo remain low-key about their private life.

While Macaulay now has two sons of his own, he himself is one of the seven siblings of the Culkin clan.


Macaulay Culkin and his six siblings come from a humble background

Born on August 26, 1980, Macaulay Culkin is a native of New York. He is one of the seven kids of Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup. As per news outlet Grunge, the Culkin siblings come from a humble background, where all seven siblings would sleep in one bedroom on bunk beds.

While speaking with New York Magazine, Macaulay Culkin said:

"It was basically one long hallway separated by doorways with no doors. I guess we couldn't afford doors or something."

They were poor and resided in a tiny one-bedroom flat. Kit worked as a sacristan in a Catholic church, while Patricia was a telephone dispatcher. While not everyone made it to the entertainment industry, Kit pushed his older children to perform, most likely in the hope that one of them would make it large and provide a better living for the family.
