Macaulay Culkin and his partner Brenda Song looked happier than ever in matching Christmas jumpers as they enjoyed a day out at Disneyland

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song seemed incredibly happy and cozy while wearing matching Christmas sweaters during a fun day at Disneyland on Friday.

The couple, together since 2017, strolled with their two young children – four-year-old Dakota and three-year-old Carson – in a double stroller.

Macaulay, 45, dressed casually for the outing in a white T-shirt and jeans, topped with a black cap embroidered with the word ‘papa’.

Thirty-seven-year-old Brenda embraced the Disney fun by adding a black Minnie Mouse hat to her outfit.

Macaulay and Brenda initially connected in 2014, and their romantic relationship started in 2017, after they finished filming the movie Changeland in Thailand.

They often wish they’d had more time together, but surprisingly, they believe things might not have gone as smoothly if they had.

Macaulay told Cosmopolitan magazine: ‘It took me, what, 37 years? 36 years?’

Brenda replied: ‘But it wouldn’t have happened any other way.’

Macaulay then said: ‘No, but if I met you 10 years earlier…’

And they agreed together: ‘We would’ve hated each other.’

Let me tell you, when I first met Brenda, she wasn’t exactly bowled over! I was 44 at the time, and she was 36. I was crashing with Seth Green, trying to lift both of our spirits after his show, ‘Dads,’ got cancelled. Apparently, I didn’t make the best first impression – she was, shall we say, thoroughly unimpressed! It’s funny looking back on it now, though.

Brenda remembered him making light of their show’s cancellation, but she wasn’t amused at all.

The Home Alone star added: ‘She was thoroughly unimpressed by me, is what I will say.’

Seth introduced Brenda and her co-star on the set of Changeland. Brenda hadn’t dated in almost two years and wasn’t actively seeking a relationship, but a mutual friend observed a clear connection between them.

She recalled her pal telling her: ‘If you’re going to ever have a fling. Mack is a safe person.’

As they spent more time together, Macaulay shared his personal journals with Brenda, allowing her to truly understand his thoughts and feelings.

She remembered seeing a side of him that seemed artificial, a persona he’d created as a defense mechanism to shield himself from vulnerability.

I realized that wasn’t his true self. I caught glimpses of a really interesting, sensitive, and intelligent artistic side he usually kept hidden.

Both had been deeply hurt in previous relationships, so they approached things cautiously. However, after finishing filming, they continued to date when they got back to the US.

The My Girl actor admitted he knew he loved Brenda before she acknowledged her feelings.

He explained that he’d never experienced such strong feelings before. He’d trusted people in the past, but his belief in her was different – it was absolute and deeply ingrained. However, he kept those feelings hidden, protecting them behind a wall he’d built around himself.

But Brenda said: Which is so crazy to me because I feel like you were the opposite!’
