LOS ANGELES – Former child star Macaulay Culkin and his fiancée, actress Brenda Song, have purchased a new luxury home in Los Angeles for $10.3 million, according to multiple real estate reports. The couple, who share two children, recently sold their Toluca Lake estate for $14.24 million before acquiring the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood.
The property was previously owned by singer Avril Lavigne and her ex-husband, musician Chad Kroeger. The high-profile purchase, first reported by MarketWatch and confirmed by other outlets, marks the latest chapter for the couple who have built a stable family life after both experiencing fame at a young age.
Culkin, 45, rose to global fame in the early 1990s as Kevin McCallister in the blockbuster films “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.” Song, 37, is best known for her role as London Tipton on the Disney Channel series “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.”
The real estate news comes just days after the couple made a stylish appearance at the Giorgio Armani pre-Academy Awards party in Los Angeles, turning heads in coordinated black attire. Their public outings and family milestones are frequently highlighted as a positive narrative of former child stars navigating adulthood.
In a separate development, Culkin recently paid a touching public tribute to his “Home Alone” co-star Catherine O’Hara, who played his mother in the films. On social media, he posted, “Mama. I thought we had time,” echoing a famous line from the movie and honoring their long-standing bond.
The actor also made headlines this week for comments on the “Hot Ones” YouTube series, where he humorously stated that “Home Alone 2” was better than the original “because I got paid more,” adding, “I think I own five percent of the net profit.”
Culkin and Song got engaged in 2022 and are parents to two sons. Their relationship and journey from child prodigies to a settled family unit have been the subject of recent features in publications like EL PAÍS and Soy Carmín, which describe their bond as a “second chance” and a “solid family life” forged from shared experiences of early fame.
