Nine years together, two children, an engagement, and countless memories later, Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song are still making fans believe in lasting Hollywood love.
The longtime couple recently marked their ninth anniversary, sharing heartfelt tributes to one another that offered a rare glimpse into their deeply personal relationship.
On June 17, the Home Alone star took to Instagram to commemorate the milestone with a message that was equal parts romantic and reflective.
“Today marks a very special day for me. It’s been 9 years since my life changed forever. It’s amazing to think that 1 in every 5 days I’ve been alive I have had the honor of waking up next to the love of my life. My only regret is that we haven’t had more time together. Thank you for my everything.”
Alongside the message, Culkin posted a photo of the pair wearing coordinated pink outfits, a playful image that perfectly matched the warmth of his tribute.
The anniversary celebration didn’t stop there.
Song also shared a touching message of her own, posting a Polaroid photo of the couple kissing and reflecting on nearly a decade together.
“Happy 9 year anniversary @culkamania !
As I sit here at this airport, just having wrapped on set and about to fly home to see you and our babies- I can’t help but be a little sentimental and reminisce at how fast 9 years can fly by when I get to enjoy life with you.
My life burst into color when you walked into it. I will never know what I did to deserve you and this life that we lead, but I am forever grateful. I truly can’t imagine doing this whole life thing without you. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it.
I love you more and more each day. You’re stuck with me.”
The sweet exchange quickly captured attention online, with fans celebrating one of Hollywood’s most low-key yet enduring relationships.
Unlike many celebrity couples who frequently share details of their personal lives, Culkin and Song have largely chosen privacy. Their relationship began after they met while working on the film Changeland in Thailand, and they have been linked romantically since 2017.
Over the years, they’ve built a family together while largely staying out of the spotlight. The couple welcomed their first son, Dakota, in April 2021 and later expanded their family with a second son, Carson.
Their engagement became public in January 2022, though the pair have remained notably private about wedding plans and family life.
That privacy has only made moments like these anniversary tributes feel more meaningful to fans. Rather than grand gestures designed for headlines, both messages reflected genuine appreciation for the life they’ve built together.
In an industry where relationships often play out publicly and face intense scrutiny, Culkin and Song have managed to create something remarkably grounded. Their anniversary posts weren’t filled with flashy declarations or elaborate photo dumps. Instead, they focused on gratitude, partnership, and the simple joy of sharing everyday life.
Nine years after they first found each other, the affection between them appears stronger than ever.
