Macaulay Culkin had a few special attendees in the audience as he accepted a career honor.
The 42-year-old Home Alone star accepted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, accompanied by fiancée Brenda Song, 34, and their two children, Dakota, 2, and an infant son born earlier this year.
Culkin was photographed kissing the head of his younger son, who wore a grey knit vest and had a pacifier in his mouth. The couple’s older son was also seen at the event, wearing a mohawk and sitting on a friend’s lap in the row behind his parents.
During his acceptance speech, Culkin thanked his fiancee Song and their two sons for their support. “I’d like to express my gratitude to Brenda.” “You are everything,” he stated.
“You’re the best person I’ve ever known,” he went on to say. “And after the birth of our two boys, you’ve become one of my three favourite people.”
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song attended Culkin’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony with their two sons. GETTY/AMY SUSSMANSong discussed the couple’s “hands-on” parenting style in an interview with The Cut last year following Dakota’s birth.
“My fiancé and I are very hands-on. We don’t have a nanny, but my mom has been here with us since my son was born… When I was working, my mom would bring [my son] to set so I could breastfeed and see him during the day. People tell you a lot about labor and pregnancy, but not about the fourth trimester,” Song told the outlet. “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.”

“I think when you and your partner have kids, especially the first few months, you don’t have the patience to be polite with each other,” she added. “Being communicative when you need help is so important. Instead of having set duties, we just feel each other out. I’ll be putting my son down and my partner is like, ‘Let me feed the animals and get dinner ready.’ “
Culkin and Song met on the set of their film Changeland in Thailand and were first romantically linked when they were spotted out at Craig’s, an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, in July 2017.
