Eight years into their relationship, actors Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin are sharing more bits and pieces of their usually private life together.
After sparking a romance in 2017, the couple now share two children: 3-year-old Dakota and 2-year-old Carson.
During her Thursday, March 13, interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Song opened up about some of the every day tasks she’s had to teach Culkin throughout their relationship.
“Mac is a very unique human,” she told Jennifer Hudson.

“Being the most famous child actor in the world, he lived and grew up in hotels,” Song, 36, continued, which meant there were some basic tasks he never needed to learn.
“He had just never really done laundry,” Song admitted, adding that she was “shooketh” learning that a grown man didn’t know how to clean his clothes.
“It’s funny, teaching him how to do laundry,” she told Hudson, joking that she’s been doing laundry since she was at least 10 years old.
In addition to teaching her fiancé how to do laundry, Song also had to teach Culkin, 44, how to drive — or at least she tried.
Noting that Culkin “still doesn’t know how to drive,” Song told Hudson she attempted to teach him that skill as well.
“I took him out to drive in our neighborhood — I was terrified,” she joked. “This 44-year-old man driving for the first time? I was like, ‘Nope!’ I gotta hire someone to do that.”
Song and Culkin met in 2014 when Song worked on their mutual friend Seth Green’s comedy Dads. Song admitted Culkin didn’t make a great first impression.

“I did not like him at all,” Song recently revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show.
Three years later, in 2017, they reconnected on the set of Changeland, and Culkin redeemed himself.
“I thought he was gonna be my BFF, and then I was like, ‘Oh wait, I kinda have a crush on him,’” Song told Drew Barrymore. “I thought I was gonna have my first fling—and that fling has turned into almost eight years and two kids.”
The Hollywood stars recently graced the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine together, becoming the first romantic couple to ever do so.

Song said it was Culkin that talked her into making history, not because she doesn’t love Cosmopolitan, but because the private parts of her relationship are the most sacred to her.
“In today’s world, just trying to keep things as private as possible, keeping precious things private, cause knowing this is sort of a one-way door, you can’t really take things back. But you know, for Mac and for us, you know, this is us. This is our love. We want to spread the love,” she explained. “Mac’s favorite quote is, ‘Let’s do it for the mantle and for our kids.’”
