Fans Shocked That Kevin McCallister And London Tipton Have Had A Baby

Yesterday news broke that Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song had become parents for the first time.

And while people have flocked to congratulate the happy couple on the birth of their little boy Dakota Song Culkin others are still coming to terms with the fact that two of their childhood favourite characters - Home Alone's very own Kevin McCallister and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody's London Tipton - are in a relationship.

Posting on Twitter, one commenter wrote: "The real news isn't so much the baby, but the fact that Kevin McCallister and London Tipton are in a relationship."

Another said: "Wait... Kevin and London... are together? And just had a baby? And no one told me about this?"

A third said: "This makes Home Alone 2 even funnier now. If only the hotel was the Tipton Hotel he stayed at."

Another put a different slant on it, tweeting: "Richie Rich and London Tipton are in a relationship."

In fact the news appeared to be such a surprise, that 'London Tipton' began trending on Twitter.

Despite it being new information to hundreds of Twitter users, Culkin and Song have actually been in a relationship since 2017, but the couple seem happy to keep their personal life out of the spotlight.

In a post to mark his 40th birthday in August last year, Song shared a cute snap of the couple in matching shirts on Instagram, while calling him 'magical' and a 'unicorn'.

She wrote: "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.

"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 luckiest person in the world because I am loved by you."

Song gave birth to their son on 5 April - his name is a touching tribute to Culkin's sister Dakota, who tragically died after being hit by a car in 2008.

Announcing the news, the couple said they and the newborn were healthy and happy, adding: "We are overjoyed."

Congrats Kevin and London... erm, I mean, Macaulay and Brenda.
