Learn more about Macaulay Culkin’s siblings with this comprehensive breakdown of his family.
While Macaulay Culkin has already started to grow his family with beloved partner Brenda Song, the actor, 40, comes from a fairly large family himself! Macaulay, the son of Broadway actor Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup, has six siblings and had one half-sister, Jennifer Adamson, from his father’s relationship with Adeena VanWagoner. Naturally, Macaulay’s siblings are all very invested in the entertainment industry, and have led fascinating careers. The family has also gone through immense loss, with death of Jennifer in 2000, at the age of 29 years old, and Macaulay’s sister Dakota, at the age of 30. Learn more about Macaulay’s siblings below.
