Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song welcome their first child

MACAULAY Culkin and Brenda

Song have announced the birth of their first child, a boy called Dakota, into the world. The baby was born on Monday, April 5, in Los Angeles, California.

The couple – who met a few years ago – said they were overjoyed about the baby’s arrival.

Last February, Culkin revealed he was trying for a baby with Song.

He confessed: “We practice a lot. We’re figuring it out, making the timing work. Because nothing turns you on more than when your lady comes into the room and says ‘honey, I’m ovulating’.”

Culkin, 40, – who is best known for starring in the Home Alone franchise as a child – said he wanted to start a family while he was still young.

“I got an ulcer or two I gotta deal with. I don’t poop like I used to. My body’s like, ‘Oh, is this what the beginnings of dying feel like?’”

The actor describes himself as a homebody, and Song agrees.

She added: “People don’t realise how incredibly kind and loyal and sweet and smart he is.

“Truly what makes Mack so special is that he is so unapologetically Mack. He knows who he is, and he’s 100% okay with that.

“And that to me is an incredibly sexy quality. He’s worked really hard to be the person he is.”

Culkin says he’s also a man of simple pleasures, and loves nothing more than taking a hot bath before spending time with his partner.

He said: “You know what I’m going to do after this? I’m gonna take care of my back – I’m gonna take a hot bath.

“I have a video queued up: the history of Castlevania, the Nintendo game. It’s 55 minutes long, and that’s the perfect bath-time amount of time.

“I’m gonna stretch my back out, kiss my animals, and go to sleep with my lady. I’m a man of really simple pleasures.” |
