In her response, Song, 38, posted a charming Polaroid-style image of the couple sharing a kiss, accompanied by a touching caption that reflected her feelings about the past nine years.
“Happy 9 year anniversary @culkamania!” she wrote. “As I sit here at this airport, just having wrapped on set and about to fly home to see you and our babies, I can’t help but be a little sentimental and reminisce at how fast nine years can fly by when I get to enjoy life with you.” Her words conveyed a sense of nostalgia and gratitude, expressing how much their relationship means to her.
Song went on to describe how Culkin’s presence in her life had brought joy and vibrancy. “My life burst into color when you walked into it,” she continued. “I will never know what I did to deserve you and this life that we lead, but I am forever grateful. I truly can’t imagine doing this whole life thing without you. It’s not always easy but it’s always worth it.” Ending her sweet message, she declared, “I love you more and more each day. You’re stuck with me.”
The couple welcomed their first child, Dakota, in 2019, followed by the arrival of their second son, Carson, in 2022. Their journey together has been one that embodies love and commitment, especially as they navigated the challenges of parenthood while maintaining their careers in the entertainment industry.
In his own tribute, Culkin reflected on their journey together, stating, “Today marks a very special day for me. It’s been nine years since my life changed forever. It’s amazing to think that one in every five days I’ve been alive I have had the honour of waking up next to the love of my life. My only regret is that we haven’t had more time together.” His sentiment highlights the deep affection he holds for Song and their shared experiences.
Both actors have recently re-emerged in the public eye after some time away from the Hollywood spotlight.
