The actors, who have been linked since 2017,announced inEsquirethat they’d welcomed their first child, son Dakota, on April 5, 2021. Though Culkin had been very vocal about his desire to start a family with Song —even saying on a podcast in 2018, “This one’s a good one, so I’m probably going to put some babies in her in a little bit” — they kept Song’s pregnancy out of the spotlight until after their child arrived.

“The cousins live in Los Angeles and we live in New York. I have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old, and as busy as I am, there’s just no getting on a plane and going, and same with them,” he said, adding that travel logistics have gotten in the way of the brothers meeting their newest additions. “I haven’t met No. 2 yet, and they haven’t met No. 2 yet either. We just haven’t been able to figure that out.”
