Brenda Song, known and loved for her roles from Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody to Hulu’s Dollface, is making headlines and is undoubtedly a hot topic right now! After four years of dating and welcoming their first child, she and Home Alone icon Macaulay Culkin are engaged to be married. Sources close to the couple confirmed the exciting news, and Brenda herself was spotted in Beverly Hills flashing a dazzling diamond ring, putting all speculation to rest.
This major step in their relationship comes less than a year after Brenda gave birth to their son, Dakota Song Culkin, in April. The couple, known for their privacy, managed to keep Brenda’s pregnancy largely out of the public eye. They announced Dakota’s arrival with a simple and heartfelt statement: “We are overjoyed,” naming him in a touching tribute to Culkin’s late sister.
Since becoming parents, Brenda and Macaulay have understandably cherished their privacy, keeping Dakota away from social media. However, Brenda offered a sweet glimpse into their family life in a November Instagram post. Sharing a photo from a Los Angeles Rams game with Macaulay, the talented actress, currently riding a wave of popularity, wrote, “Very few things can get us out of the house and away from our son.” This relatable moment resonated with fans and showcased a different facet of the “hot” celebrity couple – their dedication to family.

Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin’s romance began when they met on the set of the film Changeland. Rumors of a relationship sparked in late 2017 when they were seen holding hands at Knott’s Scary Farm. An insider revealed to E! News that they were openly affectionate during a double date with Changeland director Seth Green and his wife, Clare Grant. This marked the beginning of what would become a seriously hot celebrity pairing, capturing public attention with their low-key yet loving dynamic.
The following year, Macaulay hinted at their future family plans. On the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, he playfully shared, “This one’s a good one, so I’m probably going to put some babies in her in a little bit. I mean, we’ve definitely been practicing.” His words were a lighthearted yet telling glimpse into their commitment and desire to build a life together.
While Brenda and Macaulay generally keep their public displays of affection minimal, Brenda couldn’t resist expressing her adoration for Macaulay on his 40th birthday in August 2020.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, she wrote, “Happy 40th birthday to this magical being. I could sit here and write endlessly about how wonderful, kind, loving, genuine, loyal, honest, brilliant and hilarious you are, and how grateful I am that I get to share and do this life thing with you. But firstly, that would take me an eternity and secondly, you won’t even see this because you don’t ever use instagram. Hahaha.” She affectionately concluded, “My unicorn that I never thought could exist,” adding that she feels like “the luckiest person in the world because I am loved by you.” This public declaration further solidified their status as a beloved and hot couple to watch.
