On April 5, 2021, Culkin and Song welcomed their first child, Dakota, who weighed 6 lbs., 14 oz., in Los Angeles. The couple had named their first child in honor of the "Home Alone" star's sister, who had died in 2008.

Dakota captured people's attention during their outing with his distinctive mohawk and blue suit. The couple's younger son, revealed to the world in March by Kieran Culkin, charmed everyone with his brown eyes and a delightful ensemble of a white sweater and pale blue vest.
