Brenda Song slammed Alaska Airlines as she claimed the company disrupted her and her fiancé Macaulay Culkin’s family trip.
In an Instagram Story post on Saturday, the actress, 37, said the airline ‘split up’ her and Culkin, 45, from their two young sons – Dakota, four, and Carson, three – even though they had reserved first-class seats together.
She further criticized the airline for allegedly ‘giving away’ their seats ‘with no warning.’
In her lengthy post, Song, 37, explained she booked her family’s plane tickets ‘six months in advance’ for one of her sons’ birthdays.
At the end of her post, she tagged Culkin and also urged other people to ‘never fly’ with the airline again.
The Home Alone actor reposted Song’s review of their flight to his own Instagram Story and added: ‘Hell hath no fury like a Brenda scorned…’

‘I didn’t know when you book your first class tickets 6 months in advanced for your family of six for your son’s birthday @alaskaair can just give away your seats the morning of with no warning,’ the actress wrote in her original post.
A spokesperson for Alaska Airlines told TMZ that Song’s experience was ‘unacceptable and not reflective of the care’ their company aims to provide.
Alaska Airlines apologized for ‘adding friction’ to their travel plans and also reportedly reached out to Song privately.
Song and Culkin have been together since 2017 after meeting on the set of their film Changeland.
The pair got engaged in early 2022, in between welcoming their two sons in April 2021 and December 2022.
The couple’s family trip comes after Culkin opened up about fatherhood and his relationship with Song.
In an interview with WWD published in December 2025, Culkin admitted he never thought he would become ‘a suburban dad who wears Crocs’ until parenting changed everything.

‘I wasn’t ever really a Crocs guy,’ he explained. ‘But when I started having kids, I found out that they are kind of really convenient and cozy.’
Prior to fatherhood, the actor joked that he had long promised himself he wouldn’t fall into the cliché.
‘You know, I kind of swore to myself that I was never going to be the suburban dad who wore Crocs, but then I became a suburban dad who wears Crocs,’ he said. ‘So here we are.’
Culkin said the turning point came after spotting his eldest child wearing a bright pink pair, prompting him to follow suit.
‘So, of course, I got a pair of pink Crocs,’ he quipped. ‘And the next thing you know, you see the paparazzi photos of me dropping my kid off at school in pink Crocs.’
While the former child star has softened his stance on footwear, he’s still a work in progress in other areas of domestic life — namely, self-care.

Culkin previously revealed that it was Song, 37, who introduced him to even the most basic grooming habits.
‘Whenever Brenda started schmearing stuff on my face,’ he told People in 2024 when asked how he got into skincare.
Despite her best efforts, Song admits her fiancé remains fairly low-maintenance. ‘He has no skincare routine,’ she joked.
The former Disney Channel star, who rose to fame on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, said she’s ‘lucky’ if Culkin even splashes his face with water before bed.
