Congratulations are in order for actor Macaulay Culkin and his longtime girlfriend, actress Brenda Song. It’s been reported by Peopel magazine that the pair are engaged less than one year after welcoming their son!
This incredibly private pair began dating four years ago and when Brenda was spotted out with a massive rock on that finger, fans totally freaked out.
“The Home Alone” star was first romantically linked to Brenda Song back in 2017.
The pair met on the set of Seth Green’s Changeland , which was shooting in Thailand at the time.
In 2018 they moved into their first home together. Fun fact — Macaulay painted a yellow brick road leading to the pair’s front door.
The two are incredibly low-key, however, Brenda did gush about Macaulay for his 40th birthday back in 2020.
“Happy 40th birthday to this magical being,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “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.”
The pair welcomed their son Dakota Song Culkin together last April.
“We are overjoyed,” the stars, who named their baby after the Home Alone actor’s late sister, said in a statement at the time.
Fans love seeing Macaulay happy, because as fans know, the actor has had a life filled with struggles.
“I played with some fire, I guess is the best way to put it,” the actor told Esquire in 2020 .

“At the same time, I’ve never been to rehab or anything like that. I’ve never had to clean out that way. There were certain times when I had to catch myself, once or twice,”
He continued:
“I’ve had friends who ask me, ‘How do I get clean?’ And I go, I’m the last person you should ask, because I’m gonna give you the worst advice, which is: Just stop. Just stop! And that’s not the way it works. But I never went so far down that road where I needed outside help.”
“I don’t do drugs recreationally,” he added.
“I still kinda drink like a fish. I drink and I smoke. But I don’t touch the things. I do love them. They’re like old friends. But sometimes you outgrow your friends.”
As for his public perception, he understood why people thought he was “weird” for so long.
“People assume that I’m crazy, or a kook, or damaged. Weird. Cracked. And up until the last year or two, I haven’t really put myself out there at all. So I can understand that,” the former child star told the publication.
“It’s also like, Okay, everybody, stop acting so freaking shocked that I’m relatively well-adjusted.”
He continued: “I wasn’t working in a coal mine. I wasn’t a child soldier. My father was not sexually abusing me. Certain [explective]-up things happened, but [explective]-up things happen to kids all the time and they don’t come out the other end.”
“I’ve got something to show for it, man. I mean, look at me: I got money, I got fame, I got a beautiful girlfriend and a beautiful house and beautiful animals,” he explained.
Sounds like life is going amazing for Macaulay!
As you may recall, fans couldn’t believe how great he looked while strutting his stuff on the Gucci runway last year.
Happy and healthy looks amazing on him, and he deserves all the happiness in the world!
Now, to make things just perfect in his life, it’s been reported by “People” that Brenda and Macaulay are engaged!
Brenda was spotted out wearing a massive engagement ring that actually blinded me temporarily when I saw it.
Congrats to the happy couple!
