Richie Rich undercover! Macaulay Culkin looks like a regular suburban dad on family day despite $18M wealth

Daily Mail​11-07-2025
Macaulay Culkin channeled a suburban dad as he stepped out for a lowkey family day with fiancée Brenda Song and their two children in L.A. on Thursday.
The Richie Rich actor, 44 - who revealed that both he and Song do not have a nanny - picked up a few items at Gelson's market before running a few other errands in the hot summer weather.
The star shares sons Dakota, four, and Carson, two, with the former Disney channel actress, 37 - whom he began dating in 2017.
Culkin kept it casual for the daytime excursion in a patterned blue shirt as well as light gray shorts.
He completed the ensemble by slipping into a pair of pastel pink crocs and added a tan hat on top of his head.
Macaulay - who reportedly has a net worth of $18 million - additionally sported a pair of black shades to protect his eyes from the bright sunshine.
Brenda stayed cool in a short-sleeved, red shirt as well as leopard-print shorts and a pair of white flats.
Her brunette locks were parted in the middle and styled into a chic up, allowing loose strands to border the sides of her face.
The family-of-four were seen strolling along a quiet street as Song held the hands of both their sons as Macaulay walked close behind.
Culkin exited the market while also holding a bouquet of sunflowers before heading to their next destination.
The Home Alone actor later made a quick stop at McDonald's to grab two ice cream cones during the summer day.
Macaulay and Brenda first sparked relationship rumors in 2017 when they were seen grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles.
It came shortly after the two stars crossed paths once again on set of Seth Green's film and directorial debut Changeland.
The lovebirds became engaged in 2022 and a source told People at the time, 'Macaulay and Brenda have loved being together as a family since welcoming Dakota.'
They added, 'The engagement is the natural next step for them. They are excited for their future together.'
Back in 2023, Macaulay notably received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - and was supported by Brenda and their two little boys.
During a moving speech, the actor gave a special shout out to Song and gushed, '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 known, you're the best person I've ever known,' Culkin continued.
'You've given me just all my purpose, you've given me family. After the birth of our two boys you've become my three favorite people. I love you so much.'
The couple mainly keep their private life out of the spotlight - but offered a little insight during a joint interview with Cosmopolitan earlier this year.
'That the public is like, "Wait, they're together and they have kids?" Good. That means we did our job,' Culkin expressed.
Song then chimed in to add, 'There was a point in time where I was like, "I must be in a simulation! I have two children with Macaulay Culkin!"'
During the conversation, the pair also opened up about wedding plans and how the idea of eloping had been put out there.
'We talked about eloping,' the actress explained. 'But I was like, "If we eloped, my mom would have a heart attack that she wasn't going to be there...'
Macaulay added that he 'wouldn't even' consider the possibly of hurting or upsetting his mother-in-law.
In 2022, Song also talked about wedding planning with People and expressed, 'Wedding planning is so expensive and it takes up so much time' - especially as a parent.
'Being a new mom, we're so busy. It feels so convenient to be able to sit down and be able to get everything done all at once.'
When it comes to their relationship, the couple also admitted to Cosmopolitan that if they had met 10 years ago, they most likely 'would've hated each other.'
'It took me, what, 37 years? 36 years?' Macaulay questioned, with Brenda added, 'But it wouldn't have happened any other way.'

How Happy Gilmore 2 has been received by fans and critics

Happy Gilmore 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 cult comedy, was released last week on Netflix. The film received middling reviews from critics, scoring 65 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, but was better received by viewers with a 72 per cent score. Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, with Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Dennis Dugan also returning, alongside new cameos from Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, and Eminem. The plot sees Happy return to golf to fund his daughter's attendance at a Parisian ballet school. The film's opening scene, which kills off Julie Bowen's character Virginia Venit, has proven divisive among fans, though the director defended the decision as a key driving force for the plot.

Alice Evans hits back at online troll for claiming she 'looked like a freaking walrus' during recent court showdown with ex-husband Ioan Gruffudd

Alice Evans has hit back after her appearance at a recent court hearing was savaged by an anonymous online troll. The British actress is currently in the midst of a protracted legal dispute with ex-husband Ioan Gruffudd regarding child support payments for their two daughters. But her latest court appearance in Los Angeles on July 24, which was also attended by Gruffudd and his pregnant new wife Bianca Wallace, subsequently prompted hateful comments about her physical appearance. In a private message sent by a nameless follower, Evans, 56, was also attacked for wearing the same outfit - a black blouse and matching skirt - on more than one occasion. Sharing a post with Instagram followers on Sunday evening, she wrote: 'Just received a random DM telling me I am grossly overweight and 'looked like a freaking walrus walking into court on Wednesday'. 'It went on to say that my choice of outfit was 'horrible' because I had worn it before in public settings many times, ( the horror of wearing clothes twice!) that it was 'cheap' and 'badly fitting' and that I had 'clearly made no effort to understand proper court attire. 'Strangely, this message came from an account with no profile, which is odd, given that I would have loved to have taken hints from the person's own personal style, which obviously must be dazzling - and who doesn't t want a few tips from a dazzling dresser?' The actress, who accompanied her post with a shot of herself outside court day earlier, admitted she was already wracked with insecurity about what to wear for the hearing after spending months attempting to lose weight. She wrote: 'I attach one of the pics of me walking into court on that day because I have actually worked hard on losing weight in the past year, and silly me, I thought I looked ok! 'Also, in the two hours before leaving, I changed outfits several times in an ever increasing panic, realizing that nothing I loved fit me, and the things that fit me made me want to cry! 'But this is not a sad post. It's a strong post. I was terrified walking into court this week. I have been terrified to turn up to all the hearings I have been summoned to in the past 3 years - so much so that the first one in aug '22 I could not even bring myself to turn up to, such was my panic. ( I literally hid u see the bed shaking. How pathetic is that!) [sic] 'But I'm still here. I have two incredible girls to bring up. I live for them. And if that means I look fat or old or unfashionable then so be it. I am being as strong as I have ever been in my life.' Wednesday's court appearance was supposed to be an evidentiary hearing in which Gruffudd and Evans were to joust over her demands for him to shell out more than the $4,500 he is currently paying in support money for her and their two daughters. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Evans says she was subjected to abuse regarding her physical appearance and choice of clothing for the court hearing But instead, after a 90-minute delay during which Judge Josh Stinn huddled with their lawyers, he scheduled another hearing August 12 when a date will be set for the case to go to trial. In the past week, Evans has filed court documents - found by - in which she claimed poverty and was so broke that she had to borrow money from friends and set up a GoFundMe account that raised $18,000 in donations. She said that she and her girls - Ella, 15 and Elsie, 11 - were recently evicted from their LA home because she couldn't afford to pay the $6,500 per month rent. She contended that she had to 'burn through' her savings to pay living expenses and legal fees. And she insisted Gruffudd - who married Wallace in April - can afford to pay more than the $3,000 per month child support and $1,500 spousal support he now pays. But Gruffudd is fighting his ex's cash demands and in his own court filing, blasted Evans' claims, saying that she 'purposely got herself evicted… intentionally ceasing paying rent and instead taking the children on a vacation trip to Europe.' Her motive, he said, was to 'support her false public narrative of financial destitution in an attempt to further harm my reputation... as a fraudulent way to strong-arm me into paying more support than I can afford.' Gruffudd also maintained that subpoenaed bank records show that, far from being broke, Evans made more than $130,000 in 2024 and is expected to earn a similar amount this year - a claim that Evans called 'false and misleading.' In his recent court filing Gruffudd told how he was 'mortified' to have received 'dozens of stressed messages from our minor children in which they have parroted Alice's false and manufactured claims of becoming homeless in the immediate future.' But in her new court documents, Evans denied manipulating the children to send plaintive messages to their father. 'I absolutely did not ask the children to send messages to (Gruffudd) about our eviction and pending homelessness,' she said. 'The children are well aware of our financial distress and the eviction.' Gruffudd and Evans met on the set of the movie 102 Dalmatians more than 20 years ago. They fell in love in real life and were married in Mexico in 2007. Gruffudd filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Evans announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was leaving her. They were divorced in July 2023.

Lionel Messi looks embarrassed as he and wife Antonela are shown on Coldplay kiss cam at Miami concert

LIONEL MESSI was caught in a rare moment of awkwardness with his stunning wife Antonela Roccuzzo at a Coldplay concert. The loved-up couple were enjoying the British rock-band's final U.S show in Miami when the dreaded kiss cam landed squarely on them. 6 6 It comes days after the kiss scam scandal involving married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot. Their ducking reaction to being filmed at Boston's gig has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about an alleged affair. And while many might seize the opportunity for a public smooch, Messi seemed to go bright red given the circumstances. Footage circulating on social media showed the Inter Miami star smiling sheepishly, while Antonela, ever graceful, beamed beside him. With everyone in the crowd cheering "Messi", the couple waved to fans before Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin serenaded them. Martin, who had jokingly called out Byron and Caobt's potential 'affair' during his performance last week, thanked Messi for coming and called him "the No1 sports person of all-time". And it didn't take long for fans online to see the funny side. One wrote: "They should have tried to hide for a second. That would be hilarious." Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford While another said: "They were just singing and not dodging any Cam scandals." A third said: 'Jumbotron with Lionel Messi! (He didn't hide, though).' Moment Chris Martin laughs as he issues kiss cam warning days after CEO and HR chief caught 6 6 Although not spotted in the viral clip, Antonela later posted snaps of the couple's three sons enjoying the show at the Hard Rock Stadium. Thiago, 12, was pictured wearing a Coldplay cap, while Mateo, nine, wore a snazzy pair of 3D glasses as Ciro, six, cuddled into his dad. Meanwhile, Messi was serving a one-match suspension for Inter Miami's game against FC Cincinnati on Saturday. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and fellow Barcelona legend Jordi Alba were punished for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game earlier this week. Both players missed Wednesday's match in Austin, Texas where the MLS squad posted a 3-1 win against Mexico's Liga MX All-Stars. Elsewhere, Humiliated Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal. And Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow was hired by Astronomer for a tongue-in-cheek video, in what fans are describing as a genius PR move. 6
