In the world of private Hollywood couples, Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song stand out for their ability to keep their personal life just that — personal. Still, when these two sneak out for a rare date night or share a snippet of their life together, it’s like spotting a unicorn in the wild. That’s exactly what happened when Culkin turned to Instagram to celebrate his fianceé’s 36th birthday, giving fans a glimpse into their life together with a post that was equal parts sweet and silly.
Culkin kicked things off with a heartwarming caption alongside a candid shot of Song in a bathrobe, her hair wrapped in a towel as she sat at a table with a champagne bottle positioned in front of her. “Happy birthday to the best friend, mother, ally, colleague, lover, and partner I could ever wish for. You are my reason. I love you,” Culkin wrote.
But true to form, the actor couldn’t resist adding a touch of humor to the mix. The second image featured in the post zoomed in on the top portion of a milk carton, showcasing a sell-by date that matched the day’s date: 3/27/2024. Culkin’s playful side shone through as he added, “P.S. The milk is due. Can you pick some up on your way home from work?” (See the photos here.)
Even in jest, Culkin’s adoration for Song is unmistakable. His words echo the deep respect and love he has for his partner, sentiments he previously shared during a profoundly personal moment last December when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“I’d like to thank Brenda. You are absolutely everything. You’re my champion,” he said, underscoring the pivotal role Song plays in his life and career. “You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known. You’ve given me just all my purpose. You’ve given me family.”
Culkin and Song sparked up a romance back in 2017 on the set of Changeland in Thailand. In April 2021, they welcomed their son, Dakota Song Culkin, into the world — a name that holds a special place in their hearts as a tribute to Culkin’s late sister. The two got engaged in January 2022, and by March 2023, they expanded their family with the arrival of a second son, choosing to keep his name private.
In a world where celebrity lives often seem unattainably glamorous, it’s refreshing to see a couple who finds happiness in the simplicity of shared moments, even if it’s just a reminder to pick up milk on the way home.
