The couple told Esquire that they are 'overjoyed', and the publication reports that the baby boy was born in Los Angeles on April 5 at 1.10pm, weighing in at 6lbs 14ozs.
The Home Alone star, 40, named his son after his late sister Dakota Culkin, who tragically died after being hit by a car in 2008.
Macaulay and Brenda have been together since they met on the set of Changeland in 2017, and they hadn't gone public with the pregnancy.
Previously speaking to Esquire, Macaulay joked about becoming a dad, saying: "We practice a lot. We're figuring it out, making the timing work. Because nothing turns you on more than when your lady comes into the room and says, 'Honey, I’m ovulating.'
