While it’s easy to understand why some Hollywood couples are ultra-private, it is always fun to see when celebrity couples who tend to stay out of the limelight make a public appearance. Case in point? Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin, who made a rare public appearance together at skincare company Clarin’s launch party for its new Multi-Active line. The outing was not just a breath of fresh air for Song and Culkin, who share two sons, Dakota, 2, and a baby boy born in March 2023, but also a glimpse into the couple’s supportive and loving relationship that has thrived away from the paparazzi’s flashbulbs.
Song and Culkin’s relationship began blossoming around 2017, rooted in a deep friendship that started when the two starred in Seth Green’s Changeland together. Eventually, their on-set chemistry turned romantic in real life. Over the years, they’ve maintained an ultra-private stance regarding their personal life, rarely making public appearances together.
Their latest outing was at the glamorous launch party for Clarins’ new Multi-Active line on March 15. The event was star-studded, with other celebrities like Macaulay’ sister, Quinn Culkin, his goddaughter, Paris Jackson, and his Home Alone co-star Catherine O’Hara walking the red carpet. However, it was Song and Culkin’s attendance that caught everyone’s eye, showcasing their down-to-earth nature amidst the chaos of Hollywood.
Preparing for the event was a tale of two routines, “It took Brenda about an hour and a half, and Mack about five to eight minutes [to get ready]. The biggest difference about [our] routines is that Brenda has one,” Culkin joked, giving fans a look into the couple’s playful dynamic.
When discussing skincare with People, Culkin added that his routine consists of “Whenever Brenda started schmearing stuff on my face.” Song playfully retorted, “He has no skincare routine. If he washes his face with water at night, I’m lucky. I’m the one that has to smear stuff on his face.”
Despite their differing approaches to beauty and fashion, it’s clear that Song and Culkin find beauty in simplicity and in each other. “I think he’s the one that really made me feel the most beautiful when I’m about to go to bed and I have nothing on my face and I’m so tired,” Song shared. Their rare public appearance at the Clarins event was not just about supporting a brand but showcasing a glimpse into their genuine, supportive partnership that flourishes away from the spotlight.
