Brenda Song and her family’s recent travel plans were affected by alleged airline drama.
“I didn’t know when you book your first class tickets six months in [advance] for your family of six for your son’s birthday, @alaskaair can just give away your seats the morning of with no warning,” Song, 37, claimed via her Instagram Stories Saturday, March 22, alleging that the airline split up the group’s seats.
Song and longtime partner Macaulay Culkin share sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3.
“We will never fly @alaskaair again,” Song stated. “And neither should you.”
Culkin, 45, for his part, reposted Song’s takedown of the airline onto his Stories, adding, “Hell hath no fury like a Brenda scorned.”
Alaska Airlines addressed the incident in a statement shared with Us Weekly.
“The experience these guests had today was unacceptable and not reflective of the care we strive to deliver. We have reached out to the family to make it right,” a rep for the airline told Us. “Traveling can be stressful, especially with young children, and we pride ourselves on being a top airline for traveling families. We are deeply sorry for adding friction to the experience. We appreciate that guests have a choice in the airline they select and we take our responsibility to deliver a safe, reliable, and caring experience every single time. “
Culkin and Song have been together since 2017.
“You’re absolutely everything. You’re my champion,” Culkin gushed of the Running Point actress during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in December 2023. “You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known.”
He continued, “You’ve given me all my purpose, you’ve given me family. And after the birth of our two boys, you’ve become one of my three favorite people. You’re somewhere in there. I love you so much.”
While Culkin proposed to Song in 2022, they haven’t been in a rush to tie the knot.
“We talked about eloping,” Song told Cosmopolitan in a rare joint interview with Culkin in January 2025. “But, I was, like, ‘If we eloped, my mom would have a heart attack that she wasn’t going to be there.’”
According to Culkin, he wouldn’t dream of disappointing his future mother-in-law.
“I wouldn’t even!” the Home Alone star quipped.
Culkin first met Song in 2014 through mutual friends, soon sparking a casual fling that eventually turned into something more serious.
“I saw this person he put out there — it was a product of this armor that he’s put on to protect himself,” Song told the magazine. “I could see that that wasn’t really who he was. I could see these glimpses of this really interesting, very sensitive, very intelligent, artistic person that he doesn’t really let show.”
Soon after, Culkin realized that he was in love with Song.
“I’d never felt this way before,” he recalled. “I believed in her. I mean, I believed in people before, but I believed in her down to my bone marrow. You know what I mean? I put it behind the armor though, behind that shield.”
