Millennials, brace yourselves—London Tipton is alive, well, and living her best fangirl life.
Brenda Song, who starred in Disney Channel’s golden era as the iconic heiress on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, was spotted at the Backstreet Boys’ Into the Millennium show at the Las Vegas Sphere on Saturday, July 26. And the footage? Peak 2000s kid joy.
In a now-viral TikTok video, Song, 37, is seen on her feet, dancing and singing her heart out to “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” even leaning down to serenade her fiancé, Macaulay Culkin, who sat beside her. Over 2.5 million people have liked the clip so far, which included the caption, “In case you were wondering, London Tipton is alive and thriving.”
It didn’t take long for the internet to react.
“This is exactly how I picture London Tipton to be in her adult life,” one person commented.
“London Tipton marrying Richie Rich will forever be iconic lol,” another joked, referencing Song’s Disney persona and Culkin’s legendary role as the original child millionaire.
“The fact that her husband is always with her is everything,” a third chimed in.
“Everyone saying ‘her husband’ had me forgetting he’s literally Macaulay Culkin 😭,” someone else added.

On Tuesday, July 29, Song posted her own recap to Instagram, sharing footage of herself dancing to “The One” and a few sweet selfies with Culkin. “Best night of my life. I 🤍 @backstreetboys. Thank you @culkamania for going above and beyond to make this night so special for me,” she wrote. “I don’t think he realized how real my fandom was. Easy to say- he does now. Haha.”

The Backstreet Boys—made up of AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell—took notice, commenting, “This is the energy she brings to the party! We love you Brenda!!”
Culkin, 44, had his own post, showing off the couple’s white outfits alongside all five Backstreet Boys. “Mack Street’s Back, ALRIGHT!!! Hey y’all, remember the ‘90s?” he wrote. “Just went to the @backstreetboys at @thespere this Saturday and Brenda lost her sh*t. (She literally cried).”

He added that he was “mildly skeptical” about the show, but admitted the group “[tore] the place down,” praising their 90-minute set. “Top-to-bottom, head-to-toe, floor-to-ceiling, soup-to-nuts, beginning-to-end, it’s incredible,” the Home Alone actor said. “They got it. They got it more than ever.”
The couple attended the show as part of Billie Lourd’s 33rd birthday celebrations, which included a Disney-themed party days earlier. Culkin previously posted photos from the bash, writing, “What a great party. And what a great excuse to get Brenda to dress up as a ‘90s raver girl.”

Song, who became a household name in 2005, recently received Variety’s Virtuoso Award and is still recognized most for her Suite Life catchphrases. “It’s always the PRNDL and it’s shocking,” she said during a Q&A, referencing her character’s mispronunciation of a car’s gear shift. “People will always be like, ‘You taught me the PRNDL.’”
She also admitted she kept several London Tipton outfits from the show, including “the very first outfit from the pilot,” and still owns the massive portrait of London and her dog Ivana. It now lives somewhere in the home she shares with Culkin and their two children.

Song and Culkin first met in 2014 at a party hosted by Seth Green, but reconnected while filming Changeland in 2017. They welcomed their son Dakota in April 2021, got engaged in January 2022, and had their second child, Carson, in December 2022.
