Additionally, her child Macaulay Culkin became a prominent face in Hollywood and received several awards. Sadly, their eldest child, Dakota Culkin, in December 2008 tragically died in a car accident. At the time, Dakota passed away after she got a curb while walking on the west side of LA.

Surprisingly enough, after breaking up with her abusive longtime partner Kit, Patricia moved on with her current husband, Mart D. Cox & who is happily married. There isn't much information on when & how they formed a relationship, but it's known the couple lived in Billings, Montana.

However, the lovebirds didn't welcome any child together, but Patricia took the dotting stepmother role of Kara Cox. Kara is the daughter of Mart from his previous relationship. What's more, Patricia's former partner, Kit, lived with his girlfriend, Jeanette Krylowski, until she died in 2017.

Details About Patricia's Kids

Almost everyone in the Culkin family was involved in the Hollywood industry. However, Macaulay was the only one who made a bigger impact in the showbiz media out of the seven kids. Macaulay appeared in two back-to-back Home Alone movies, which grossed millions of dollars & presented him as an acting prodigy.

Patricia & Kit's Child Custody Battle

In March 1995, Patricia and Kit decided to end the decades-long relationship legally. Previously when the couple was still happy together, the two divided almost 15% commission on Macaulay's salary. Macaulay hated his divorced parents controlling his life and money. 

Many sources report that the duo didn't fight for custody just because they loved their kids but because they wanted the money their star kid was making. His parents split eventually led to Macaulay's early retirement from the movie industry.

After the split, Macaulay's mother married and moved to Billings, Montana, while her ex-partner, Kit too moved with his partner Jeanette Krylowski. His partner died in 2017.
