Brenda Song, who catapulted to fame as the iconic London Tipton on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, has finally revealed the name of the second son she shares with longtime partner and Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.
Song, 36, and Culkin, 44, became engaged in 2022 after meeting on the set of the 2017 comedy drama Changeland.
They are rumoured to have since married, though they're yet to make any official confirmation.
Their first son, Dakota, was born in 2021, with their second son following in 2022.

Up until now, the name of their second child had been kept under wraps - but she recently revealed all in an interview with Bustle.
Song shared that her second son's name is Carson.
In 2023, Culkin and Song brought their children along with them as Culkin participated in the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony - something which Song revealed she couldn't let her kids miss.
She told Bustle: "That was such a special moment.
"We couldn’t have them miss that. Dak was so scared of all the cameras. That’s one of the reasons why we sort of keep them away [from the spotlight]. They did not understand what was happening.”
Song reflected on their reaction to paparazzi, adding: "My son was like, ‘Why is that man taking pictures of you, mama?’
"You could take pictures of me all day. I don’t care. But when it’s your kids, it’s different. They didn’t ask for this life.”
The actress also opened up on the dynamic between her and her actor spouse.
“Mack and I are both very antisocial,” she said. “Our kids have more of a social calendar than I will ever have.”
Song, who is set to star opposite Pamela Anderson in the highly-anticipated film The Last Showgirl, reflected further on balancing motherhood and a career she's proud of.
She added: “I had two pregnancies in the same calendar year. It was a lot.
"Once I stepped into motherhood, it made me question a lot: my place in this industry, my place as a woman, ageism in this industry, society’s pressures of what beauty is, what being young is. Things that I’d never questioned before.
“Family life is the most important thing, but I’ve always said to be the best parent, the best partner, I have to be the best me. And a huge part of that is work. I have to be able to honour that.”
At the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Culkin remarked in reference to Song: "You are absolutely everything. You're my champion. You're the only person happier for me today than I am. You're not only the best woman I've ever know, you're the best person I've ever known.”
