1. Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song welcome a baby boy

Macaulay Culkin has been talking about starting a family with Brenda Song for years, and the time has finally come. The actors welcomed a baby boy on April 5, named Dakota Song Culkin, after Macaulay's late sister. The couple kept the pregnancy under wraps, and announced the birth with a simple statement to Esquire: "We're overjoyed." Culkin, who found childhood fame as Kevin in Home Alone, and Song, who starred in Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, met on a movie set in Thailand, and have since talked about each other "with a kind of disbelief that it can feel this good to be with another person," Esquire reports. Hopefully if they decide to go on a family vacation, they don't forget little Dakota at home.
