They have an unusual connection, yet they have kept their Hollywood friendship mostly under the radar for years.
But Brenda Song changed that on Wednesday when when she wished her pal Paris Jackson a happy 26th birthday.
The 36-year-old actress celebrated the daughter of Michael Jackson’s big day by sharing a photo of the two on a ‘Parisian adventure’ to her Instagram Stories.
The women are bonded not just by friendship, but by family, as Brenda’s fiancé Macaulay Culkin, 43, is the godfather of Paris, as well as her brother’s Prince and Michael Jr.
In the photo shared by Brenda — who celebrated her birthday only days earlier — the Dollface actress stood in a what looked like a hotel entranceway. Paris, who was considerably taller than Brenda, playfully rested the side of her face on the top of her friend’s head.

The birthday girl had a long scarf draped from her throat, and she had a cigarette perched between her fingers as she smiled for the photo.
‘Happy birthday @parisjackson,’ Brenda wrote on the pictured. ‘I miss you and our Parisian adventures. Love you so much!’
The caption didn’t appear to be just a pun, as Brenda and Paris have previously been spotted spending time together in the French capital.

Brenda and the Home Alone star were linked in July of that year after they were seen having dinner at the celebrity hotspot Craig’s in West Hollywood.
