But Songnearly stepped away from actingafter having twosons, Dakota, 3, and Carson, 2 — whom she shares with her partner of seven years,Macaulay Culkin.
“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,” Song said toBustle.
She continued, “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. I was like, ‘Does acting still fit in my life?’ "
With Culkin’s help, she found a balance between motherhood and career.
“I’ve always said to be the best parent, the best partner, I have to be the best me. And a huge part of this is work. I have to be able to honor that,” she explained.
