Macaulay Culkin, the iconic Home Alone star, has achieved another milestone by being honored with a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. The emotional ceremony, held on December 1, brought together special guests, including Culkin’s former co-stars Catherine O’Hara and Natasha Lyonne. Notably present were Culkin’s young sons and his fiancée, Brenda Song, who, for many fans, became a revelation regarding her own fame and achievements.
The event shed light on the fact that Culkin and the 34-year-old actress Brenda Song are in a relationship, and the couple has two sons together. Culkin, expressing his gratitude during the ceremony, took a moment to acknowledge Song’s significance in his life: “I’d like to thank Brenda. You’re absolutely everything. You’re the best person I’ve ever known. And after the birth of our two boys, you’ve become one of my three favorite people.”
While Song gained recognition through roles in shows like Frazier and 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd, she became a household name as London Tipton in the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, later appearing in its spin-off, The Suite Life on Deck. Her career continued to flourish with notable roles in acclaimed movies like The Social Network and TV projects such as Scandal and New Girl.
Despite both Culkin and Song being internationally renowned, many people seemed unaware of their romantic connection, leading to a wave of surprise on social media. Tweets like “I’m today years old when I found out Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin are together” and “Today was the day that I learned Macaulay Culkin was even Brenda Song are together and have a baby” reflected the astonishment of fans discovering their relationship.
The couple, who first started dating while filming Seth Green’s comedy-drama Changeland, has maintained a low profile about their relationship on social media, contributing to the surprise among fans.

In a previous interview with The Cut, Song opened up about their parenting style, emphasizing their hands-on approach and the absence of a nanny. She highlighted the support of her mother during this journey, stating, “We don’t have a nanny, but my mom has been here with us since my son was born… People tell you a lot about labor and pregnancy, but not about the fourth trimester.” Song emphasized the importance of seeking help during the challenging postpartum period.
Macaulay Culkin’s induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame not only celebrated his illustrious career but also brought attention to the private yet impactful life he shares with Brenda Song, offering fans a glimpse into their journey as a couple and parents.
