Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song are planning a family of their own.

“We practice a lot,” Culkin, 39, joked about trying to have a baby in a new interview with Esquire. “We’re figuring it out, making the timing work. Because nothing turns you on more than when your lady comes into the room and says, ‘Honey, I’m ovulating.'”

Culkin and Song, 31, began dating in 2017 and while they do not have any children, they do have a family of animals that include two cats, a fish, a dog and a bird.

Meanwhile, his brother “Succession” star Kieran Culkin, welcomed a baby with his wife Jazz Charton in September 2019.

And although he has relatively stayed out of the public eye over the years, Culkin also revealed in the new interview that he auditioned for Quentin Tarantino’s Oscar-nominated film “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.”

“It was a disaster,” the “Home Alone” star admitted. “I wouldn’t have hired me. I’m terrible at auditioning anyway, and this was my first audition in like eight years.”
