Macaulay Culkin has seven siblings: Kieran, Rory, Dakota, Quinn, Shane, Christian and Jennifer
From starring in Home Alone as a child to becoming a father, Macaulay Culkin has been in the public eye for most of his life. He comes from a massive showbiz family, with some of his siblings — including Succession star Kieran Culkin — also making names for themselves in Hollywood.
The actor’s father Kit Culkin and his longtime partner, Patricia Brentrup, who were together from 1974 to 1995 but never married, shared seven children together: Shane, Dakota, Macaulay, Kieran, Quinn, Christian and Rory. Kit worked as a Broadway theater actor before managing his sons’ careers in the ’80s and ’90s.
Prior to his relationship with Brentrup, Kit and former partner Adeena VanWagoner welcomed a daughter, Jennifer Adamson. Adamson died of a drug overdose in 2000.
In a 2018 appearance on WTF with Marc Maron, Macaulay opened up about his turbulent relationship with his father, saying their difficulties stemmed from the fact that, as a child, he far surpassed his father’s own acting career.
“I was never tight with him to begin with,” he said. “My concept of a father is almost one of those things you get from TV shows and movies, rather than having affection for a father.”
