As mentioned, Kit was an actor, and several of his kids followed his path into the spotlight and have enjoyed much more successful careers. Unfortunately, Kit and his family have also gone through immense loss, as Kit’s first daughter \u2014 and Macaulay’s half-sister \u2014 Jennifer died in 2000 from drug-related complications. Then, in 2008, Macaulay’s sister Dakota<\/strong> died from injuries she sustained after she was hit by a car in Los Angeles. She was 29 years old.<\/p>\n On March 2, 2025, Macaulay Culkin\u2019s brother, Kieran Culkin<\/strong><\/a>, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in A Real Pain<\/em>. Previously, he had won other awards, including the 2024 Golden Globe, during which he praised his mother, Patricia Brentrup<\/strong>, for raising “seven kids pretty much by herself.”<\/p>\n “I have no idea how my mom did it \u2014 she raised in this basically studio apartment and I don’t know how she did it,” he continued, calling Patricia “amazing.” Per PEOPLE<\/a><\/em>, Kieran made the comments in the press room following his big win. “Obviously [I] wouldn’t be here without her,” he said, noting that he’d included his “wonderful mom” in his acceptance speech. “Not just because of the sex she had with my father,” he continued in the press room. “For the woman she is. And for having sex with my father. You don’t hear me thanking my dad.”<\/p>\n While accepting the award onstage, Kieran gushed in part, “Mom, thank you for doing everything you\u2019ve done for us. You\u2019re an amazing woman.”\u00a0Learn more about Macaulay and the rest of the Culkin siblings below.<\/p>\n Kieran Culkin, born on Sept. 30, 1982, is Macaulay’s younger brother. Like Macaulay, Kiernan is an actor, who actually appeared alongside his brother in both Home Alone<\/em> <\/a>films as Kevin McCallister’s younger cousin, Fuller. Kieran continued to act throughout his childhood, appearing in films like Father of the Bride<\/em> and its subsequent sequel, as well as\u00a0She’s All That<\/em> and\u00a0The Cider House Rules<\/em> during the latter half of his teenage years. Kieran took a bit of a break from acting in the mid-2000s, but by 2010, Kieran was back on the scene.<\/p>\n He starred in the ensemble cast of\u00a0Scott Pilgrim vs. The World<\/em> as Wallace Wells, the roommate of the titular protagonist played by Michael Cera<\/strong><\/a>. He continued to make consistent appearances in film and TV before landing the role of Roman Roy in the critically acclaimed HBO series Succession<\/em>. In 2020 and 2022, he earned an Emmy<\/a> nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance. “All it is is more nominations and more things for the show and it really just feels like a collective,” he said of his second nomination during an Aug. 2022 chat with Awards Daily<\/em><\/a>. “It feels like when one person wins something it is like we did it. … It\u2019s if you win great, if I win great, if nobody does that\u2019s fine too.”<\/p>\n Kieran prefers to live away from the limelight, but the show’s popularity has certainly helped his face become more familiar around town. “It’s mostly fine,” he told Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a> regarding how he’s handling being thrust into the spotlight during an Aug. 2022 interview. “Most people’s instincts when they do like a double-take, the first thing to do is they reach for their phone and that camera comes out and they have to [indicates taking a photo]. Then there’s the awkward moment of saying something like, ‘Hey, did you take a picture?’ when they will inevitably say no. And then I feel like an a** because I was assuming that they\u2019re taking pictures of me.”<\/p>\n “But the only part that actually bothers me is that people do that same exact thing when I’m out with my kids,” he continued. “That’s just obviously a violation and I don’t think people know it. I can say that because when I confront people about it, you can see in their face, they didn’t realize they were doing something horrible.” Kieran has a son and a daughter with his wife, Jazz Charton<\/strong>. They walked down the aisle in 2013.<\/p>\n In a March 2023 interview, Kieran admitted he has not met Macaulay’s second-born<\/a> child. \u201cThe cousins live in Los Angeles, we live in New York. I have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old and as busy as I am there is no getting on a plane and going,\u201d he told Access Hollywood<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>at the Succession\u00a0<\/em>season 4 premiere<\/a> . \u201cAnd same with them. I haven\u2019t met no. 2 yet and they haven\u2019t met no. 2 yet either, because we just haven\u2019t been able to figure that out.”<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the rising actor hit a roadblock<\/a> in May of 2023, when news broke that his planned gig as a Saturday Night Live<\/em> host would not go forward, due to the writers’ strike. Per a report in\u00a0Variety<\/em><\/a>, Kieran\u00a0<\/em>was expected to host the May 13 episode, with musical guest Labrinth.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>The strike cut the season short, but Kieran has hosted SNL<\/em> before — in November of 2021.<\/p>\n Rory<\/strong>\u00a0Culkin<\/strong><\/a>, born on July 21, 1989, is also Macaulay’s younger brother. Much like his siblings, Rory began acting as a child and made his first appearance alongside Macaulay in the 1993 film The Good Son<\/em>. From there, he appeared in the 2000 film\u00a0You Can Count On Me<\/em> and alongside his older brother, Kieran, in the movie Igby Goes Down<\/em>. In 2002, Rory got his first major starring role in the\u00a0M. Night Shyamalan<\/strong> film\u00a0Signs<\/em>, in which he appeared alongside Mel Gibson<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Joaquin Phoenix<\/strong><\/a>, and\u00a0Abigail Breslin<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The young actor continued to work in both film and TV throughout the 2000s, appearing in more mature films like\u00a0Scream 4<\/em> and\u00a0Hick<\/em> in 2011. In 2017, Rory had a supporting role in the critically acclaimed film\u00a0Columbus<\/em>, and in 2018, he led the film Lords of Chaos<\/em>. Like Kieran, Rory has seemingly set his sights on TV, appearing in\u00a0The Expecting<\/em>, eight episodes of the TV mini-series Under the Banner of Heaven<\/em>, and in an episode of Swarm<\/em> in 2023.<\/p>\n Rory’s nude scene in Swarm<\/em> turned heads for its cringe-worthy nature. After his character takes the main character’s virginity, he presents her with a bowl of strawberries that was strategically placed over his privates. It turns out that the show’s creators crafted that scene with some real-life inspiration. “[Co-creator Donald Glover<\/strong><\/a>] told this very funny story about a girl who he really liked, and how after they hooked, he was standing there with a bowl of cherries, just being like, ‘Hey,'” co-creator Janine Nabers <\/strong>recalled to Insider<\/em> <\/a>in March 2023. “She was like, so not into it, because it’s so weird to hook up with a guy that you barely know and then wake up with him holding a bowl of cherries.”<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, \u2018I\u2019m stealing that,\u2019\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd he was like, \u2018All right.\u2019 So I just ran with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Shane Culkin<\/strong>, born in 1976, is Macaulay’s older brother. He tried acting as a teen and has one IMDb<\/a> credit for a 1989 appearance in the series Great Performances<\/em>, in which he played Wally Webb in the episode “Our Town.” However, that is the extent of his professional acting career. He lives a very private life and it is unclear what he does today.<\/p>\n Quinn Culkin<\/strong>, born on Nov. 8, 1984, is Macaulay’s younger sister. Unsurprisingly, Quinn began acting as a child, as well. She made a small appearance in the film Home Alone<\/em> as a girl in the airport, and provided the voice of Katie McClary in the animated series\u00a0Wish Kid<\/em> throughout its run in 1991. In 1993, she appeared alongside her big brother, Macaulay, in the film\u00a0The Good Son<\/em>. It doesn’t appear that she’s acted in film or TV since that time, per IMDb<\/a>. Similar to her brother Shane, she has shied away from the spotlight and little is known about her whereabouts.<\/p>\n Christian Culkin<\/strong>, born on Jan. 30, 1987, is Macaulay’s younger brother. Unlike his siblings that went on to take the entertainment industry by storm, Christian made only one appearance in the 1994 film My Summer Story<\/em>, which also starred his brother Kieran, per IMDb<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dakota Culkin<\/strong>, born on June 15, 1978, was Macaulay’s sister, who tragically died after being struck by a car in Dec. 2008. The Culkin siblings were absolutely shaken by Dakota’s death, but Macaulay has kept her memory alive, naming his first child with partner Brenda Song\u00a0<\/strong>after his beloved sister. “We\u2019re overjoyed,” the couple told Esquire<\/em><\/a> about welcoming their baby boy.<\/p>\nKieran Culkin<\/h2>\n
