She added underneath an older post, seemingly adjusting the caption, that the baby girl’s full name is Havoc Moon Alva Culkin.

“My feed (and brain) has been consumed with such negativity and pain in the world that I thought I’d bring some light by announcing how ridiculously excited we are to be living in Havoc’s world in a few months,” she wrote at the time.

“We love her. She rules us already😭.”

The couple are believed to have started dating back in 2023.

Rory, meanwhile, followed in his brother’s acting footsteps and starred in Signs as a child, opposite Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix.

His later work includes hit thriller film franchise Scream 4 and TV show The Expecting.

Macaulay Culkin, known for his work in Home Alone, is married to actress Brenda Song, 38.

The late Catherine O’Hara, who appeared as his mother in Home Alone, also attended and delivered a speech.

“Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I’m so proud of you,” she said.
