The “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” alum shares two sons with her fiancé, Macaulay Culkin.
Brenda 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.”
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?’”
