Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song have two sons, Dakota and Carson. Their parents have shared a few family stories in interviews, including watching Home Alone together and a Mother’s Day botanical-garden tradition. Public reporting offers only a selective glimpse of the boys’ lives, so details below stick to what their parents and reliable reports have disclosed.
Who are Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song’s children?
Dakota and Carson are the couple’s two sons. Good Morning America reported that Dakota was born in April 2021 and Carson in December 2022; the report does not give exact birth dates. Good Morning America, May 11, 2025.

What have their parents shared about family life?
Watching Home Alone together
In a January 2025 interview, Culkin and Song said the family had watched Home Alone during the preceding Christmases. Song said Dakota thinks his father is Kevin McCallister, the character Culkin played. It is a family anecdote; it does not establish what Dakota understands about the film or its connection to his father. Cosmopolitan, January 27, 2025; ABC News, January 27, 2025.
How their parents describe the boys
In the same interview, Song and Culkin shared their impressions of the boys’ resemblances: they described Dakota as resembling Culkin in some ways and Carson as having Song’s raspy voice. These are the parents’ observations, not objective assessments or a basis for drawing broader conclusions about the children. Cosmopolitan, January 27, 2025; ABC News, January 27, 2025.
A Mother’s Day botanical-garden outing
Song told E! News that the family keeps a small Mother’s Day tradition with family members: visiting a botanical garden in Los Angeles, sometimes returning to the same one. She explained that the outing is about spending time with loved ones. Good Morning America reported the account on May 11, 2025. Good Morning America, May 11, 2025.
