Macaulay Culkin & Brenda Song’s Sons Made Their Red Carpet Debut in the Most Stylish Little ‘Fits
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song’s kids just made a very rare appearance, and yes, we did Culkin’s iconic scream from Home Alone when we saw the pictures. The engaged Hollywood stars share kids Dakota, 2 and an infant whose name they have yet to share, and they made their red carpet debut today when their dad was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Though Culkin and Song don’t share photos of their sons on social media, they have to share the absolutely adorable family pictures that were taken at the ceremony. Not only are the kiddos so cute with their serious and curious expressions, but they are already so stylish!

The baby wore a white ribbed turtleneck and a gray knit suit vest (peak grandpa-core!) that he paired perfectly with side-swept hair and a magenta pacifier. Meanwhile, Dakota — who already looks so much like his dad! — rocked a mohawk haircut, a monochromatic teal outfit, and black boots.
While Baby No. 2’s name is unknown, we bet it has a meaningful name like his brother’s. Dakota is named after his paternal aunt, Dakota Culkin, who tragically died in a car accident in 2008 at 30 years old.
During his acceptance speech, Culkin gave a sweet shoutout to Song and their sons.
“I’d like to thank Brenda,” he said. “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.”
OK, there better have been tissue boxes being passed around!
In an interview with The Cut last year, Song got candid about her postpartum experience and how she relied on help from Culkin and her mom.
“People tell you a lot about labor and pregnancy, but not about the fourth trimester,” Song said. “To my girlfriends that are pregnant I say, make sure you have help. Because your instinct is to want to do it all and you physically can’t.”
One way her mom helped was by bringing Dakota to set so Song could breastfeed. The actress said going back to work was “harder” than she expected and admitted she had “no idea” what she was doing. For someone who prided herself on always being first to arrive, it was hard to ask for 20 minutes to pump.
“The hours away from my son took a toll on me,” she continued. “Learning my own boundaries while trying to take care of my son and my family — that was hard. But I had a great support system and knew my son was taken care of; I just had FOMO. Missing those hours with my newborn son, it pains me, but at the end of the day, Mama’s got to put food on the table. You’ve got to make those sacrifices. Hopefully he’ll understand.”
He’ll understand. Especially when he one day sees both of his parents’ stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fingers crossed!
