Brenda Song’s Sappy Anniversary Salute to Macaulay Culkin: Enough Already?
Great, just what we needed: another over-the-top Hollywood anniversary post. Brenda Song took to Instagram on June 18 to commemorate eight years with fiancé Macaulay Culkin, and predictably, it’s full of mushy declarations. According to her Instagram post, the 37-year-old Running Point star gushed, “8 years and there is still no one who makes me laugh or smile like the way you do,” before crowning him “my partner in crime, my adventure partner, my best friend, my baby daddy, my favorite everything.” Look, I don’t want to be the one to burst this love bubble, but when you’re wielding bunny-ear selfies, there’s only so much magic left to mine.
She followed up the caption with two painfully cute snaps: one of them cuddling at a dinner table with rabbit ears perched askew, and another where they bare their teeth in an undercover “feral couple” vibe. Cited from the official @brendasong Instagram and corroborated by E! News’ coverage, the post is exactly the polished slice of celeb romance you’d expect. But here’s the twist—or lack thereof: Brenda also credited Culkin as “the white glue that keeps us all together,” a metaphor so on the nose it practically screams, “I told you so.”
If you thought their Instagram festival was the end of it, think again. In an exclusive April interview with E! News’ Francesca Amiker, Song admitted that having sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 2, plunged them into “situations you’ve never dealt with,” which she insists have only cemented their bond. “It’s a ground-level test of who you truly are,” she claimed. Sure, because nothing says “soul-searching” like diaper changes at 3 AM.
Flashback to December 2023, as captured by E! News, when the duo brought both boys to Culkin’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony, smiling through the flashbulbs. March 2024 saw them color-coordinated at a Clarins event, and they even staged a bellhop gag in Cabo for her 36th birthday. All very endearing—if you’re into that sort of relentless public sentiment.
So here we are, eight years in, eight paragraphs of gushy prose, and two toddlers later, still feasting on curated snapshots of domestic bliss. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. Congrats, you two. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
