Macaulay has a family with a former Disney star

One of the strangest and yet cutest celebrity couples to have arisen in showbiz has to be Macaulay and Disney Channel actress Brenda Song. Brenda played London Tipton in The Suite of Zack and Cody and its sequel series, Suite Life on Deck. The pair have been together for six years and have two children together, a son, born in 2021, and another born last year in December. They also became engaged early in 2022.

A source told People: “Macaulay and Brenda have loved being together as a family since welcoming Dakota. The engagement is the natural next step for them. They are excited for their future together.”

When posting about her beau for his birthday in 2020, Brenda, 35, said: “Happy 40th birthday to this magical being. I could sit here and write endlessly about how wonderful, kind, loving, genuine, loyal, honest, brilliant and hilarious you are, and how grateful I am that I get to share and do this life thing with you,” she wrote.

“But firstly, that would take me an eternity and secondly, you won’t even see this because you don’t ever use Instagram. Hahaha. My unicorn that I never thought could exist, I am the luckiest person in the world because I am loved by you.”
