Brenda Song Says Becoming A Mom Made Her 'Question A Lot'

LOADINGERROR LOADINGBrenda Song is opening up about her motherhood journey.In a new cover story for Bustle, the former Disney star, 36, got candid about how welcoming sons Dakota, 3, and Carson, 2, with fiancé Macaulay Culkin, 44, made her “question a lot,” including ageism in Hollywood and how to juggle being a mom while working.

“I had two pregnancies in the same calendar year.It was a lot,” Song shared in an interview published Tuesday.

“Once I stepped into motherhood, it made me question a lot: my place in this industry, my place as a woman, ageism in this industry, society’s pressures of what beauty is, what being young is.”Advertisement The “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” alum said that becoming a mom also brought up emotions about things she “never questioned before,” like if acting was still in the cards for her.“My priority is my children, so I can’t just uproot my life and go live in Bulgaria for nine months to shoot a movie,” she continued.

“I was like, ‘Does acting still fit in my life?’” Admitting that Culkin told her she was “insane” for thinking it was curtains for her career after the arrival of their little ones, Song, who is set to star in Netflix’s new comedy series “Running Point,” declared that “family life is the most important thing.” Advertisement Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song have been together since 2017.Taylor Hill via Getty Images“But I’ve always said to be the best parent, the best partner, I have to be the best me.

And a huge part of that is work.I have to be able to honor that,” Song added.
