Washington DC, April 24

Actress Brenda Song has shared a candid and playful glimpse into her married life with husband Macaulay Culkin, revealing that even their disagreements are lighthearted and rooted in friendly competition, according to People.

During the recent episode of Cosmo Goes Deep, Song sat down with her Running Point co-star Kate Hudson for a candid chat, where she opened up about the "pettiest" thing the couple argues about.

According to Song, their most common playful disputes revolve around the popular video game Mario Kart, which they often play together in bed.

"One thing that we can argue about is we do play Mario Kart sometimes, like in bed. And then we get very, very competitive and we will like get like mildly mad at each other, for like cutting me off or like winning, beating me last minute. That's probably the pettiest thing," Song said, as quoted by People.

Song, 38, and Culkin, 45, share two sons, Dakota, 5, and Carson, 3. The couple began dating in 2017 after meeting at a mutual friend, Seth Green's home and later got engaged in 2022.

Reflecting on their relationship in an earlier interview with Access Hollywood, Song said their bond formed when neither of them was actively looking for love.

"I think that's what was so beautiful. I always say he's like my unicorn. I wasn't going to settle for anything, but he is exactly what I was hoping to look for," she said.

Song has often described Culkin as her closest confidant, highlighting their shared interests and compatibility.

"He understands my work, we can talk about football, we talk about basketball, we can cook together. I think I just really lucked out," she added, as per People.

In a joint interview in 2025, Culkin also spoke about the depth of his feelings for Song.

"I'd never felt this way before. I believed in her. I mean, I believed in people before, but I believed in her down to my bone marrow. You know what I mean? I put it behind the armor though, behind that shield," he said.

As an Indian who grew up on Macaulay Culkin's Home Alone, seeing him happy with someone like Brenda Song is heartwarming. It shows that love can find you when you least expect it. Their bond seems genuine and built on shared interests, not just fame.

I must say, their relationship sounds like something out of a Bollywood movie! 😄 The way he describes her as his "unicorn" and talks about believing in her "down to my bone marrow" is truly touching. But honestly, I think pettiest arguments over Mario Kart is such a relatable thing for couples today!

Good for them! In our Indian society where arranged marriages are still common, it's nice to see a love story that developed organically. However, I wish articles like these would focus more on their work and achievements rather than just their personal lives. But dekhna, even in Hollywood, couples have these cute tiffs! 😊

As someone who loves playing video games with my partner, I can totally relate to their Mario Kart fights! 😂 It's amazing how even the smallest things can create those precious moments of bonding. Their journey from meeting through a mutual friend to having two kids together really shows that true love knows no boundaries.

Honestly, I find this wholesome. In India, we often see celebrity marriages falling apart, so it's nice to see a couple that seems genuinely compatible. But I wonder why Western media always focuses on such trivial things when there are more important issues to discuss. Still, all the best to them! 👍
