- Macaulay Culkin reproposed to Brenda Song last year.
- The plan to include their sons in the reproposal, however, didn't work as planned.
- One of the kids blew his line, replying with an NFL chant instead.
*Running Point* star Brenda Song is a diehard sports fan, but that passion backfired on her when fiancé Macaulay Culkin reproposed to her.
Song and Culkin have been together for over a decade, sharing two young sons, and while they first became engaged in 2022, Culkin recently decided to propose again.
"I was coming home from *Running Point*, and my mom texts me, 'Are you wearing makeup, and I was like, 'What?'" Song said on *Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce*. "He had flowers by the front door and my two boys. And he looked at my boys and goes, 'Okay, what do you say to mama?' And my youngest went, 'Rams house!'"

As a staunch supporter of the Los Angeles Rams, Song revealed that she often does the NFL team's chant, saying to her kids, "Whose house," to which they're supposed to reply, "Rams house!"
"Mac was like, we rehearsed and we rehearsed, like, 'Will you marry us,'" Song continued. "But no, my son instinctively knew, 'Rams house'... I've my trained my kids well."

Song's Los Angeles sports bonafides are almost unmatched in Hollywood. She is often spotted sitting courtside with Culkin at Lakers games, the Rams cast her in the video revealing their 2025 schedule, and she currently stars on Netflix's *Running Point*, which follows the inner workings of a fictional L.A. basketball team.
Culkin cameoed in season 1 as a loud fan in the crowd at a game, and he made a meta appearance in the recently released season 2. "He pitches himself every season," Song said. "I love him, but I'm like, 'Honey, this is my job. Let me live.'"
