@Source: people.com
Macaulay Culkin wants to make every Father's Day special for his boys. On Wednesday, June 25, the Home Alone star, 44, shared a few snaps on Instagram from his celebration of the summer holiday with his two boys. Culkin, who shares his boys, Carson, 2, and Dakota, 4, with fiancée Brenda Song, spent the day at Legoland California, noting he aims to "do something awesome for my boys" every Father's Day. "Every Father’s Day I try to do something awesome for my boys, because if it wasn’t for them I’d have nothing to celebrate," he began in the caption of his post. "I’m making Father’s Day a big deal in my household. It’s not on the same level as Christmas and birthdays, but on par with Easter. And it kicks the crap out of Memorial Day that’s for sure," he continued. "This year we went to @legolandcalifornia and it went so well that my boys didn’t want to leave. That night they whispered to their mama that they, 'Want it to be Father’s Day every day.' Mission accomplished."

Culkin and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actress, 37, started dating in 2017 after meeting on the set of Changeland in Thailand. The pair welcomed their first child, Dakota Song Culkin, on April 5, 2021. Less than two years later, Song gave birth to their second son, Carson, with Culkin's brother, Kieran Culkin, confirming at the time. The parents are notoriously private when it comes to their children, with Song telling Bustle in a January 2025 cover story that they intentionally try to shield them from the spotlight. "My son was like, 'Why is that man taking pictures of you, mama?' " she recalled one instance when she was photographed at a soccer game. "You could take pictures of me all day. I don't care. But when it's your kids, it's different. They didn't ask for this life." Over the years, the couple has given subtle glimpses into their family life in interviews. During a conversation with Cosmopolitan, Culkin admitted he's proudly in his stay-at-home dad era, hosting playdates, bumping heads with son Dakota, whom they affectionately call DakDak, and being "Papa T-rex." The couple agreed that Dakota's personality is more like his father's, and the similarities sometimes cause them to clash. Carson, meanwhile, shares the same raspy voice as Song. While both of their sons have personalities indicative of one particular parent, Culkin and Song see themselves in both of them. "But Carson walks on his tippy-toes, like me,” Culkin told the outlet. "And DakDak is a stomper, like me," Song added. The PEOPLE App is now available in the Apple App Store!

Song even hinted at being the ultimate sports mom. While chatting with Entertainment Tonight after a Los Angeles Rams game, The Last Showgirl star opened up about how she has to tell herself to "chill out" on the soccer field sidelines. "My boys play soccer already, and I'm like 'Hey, chill out, Brenda.' Participation is all that matters, right?" she told the outlet. "I try not to push them. I just encourage them." "The thing I love about sports is it brings a lot of people together," she said. "It's such a wonderful commonality to have, so I'm like, I love the vibes."
