Steven McBee Jr. of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is in a new relationship.
The acting head of McBee Farm & Cattle just introduced the world to his new girlfriend, social media influencer Allie Eklund, by sharing several photos of them locking lips to Instagram and telling his followers, “Never been so certain.”
Lining up with the Nov. 3 announcement, there has been a flood of Instagram Stories showcasing Steven Jr. and his new gal, including a few red-carpet moments of the sharply dressed duo as they joined brothers Jesse McBee, Cole McBee, and family patriarch, Steven McBee Sr., for the Community Services League’s 20th anniversary Luminous Gala in Kansas City on Nov. 1, as seen on the dad’s Instagram.
Allie wore a form-fitting black sequined gown with a plunging neckline next to her new man, and Steven showed up with a black cowboy hat and tuxedo to serve as the event’s Master of Ceremonies.
Steven Jr.’s Stories also highlight the tender moments in between, with one focused on the pair’s interlocked hands with Allie’s caption, “Me and you,” followed by a close-up of the new girlfriend and Steven’s dog in hunting camouflage gear. With a hot-face emoji, Steven wrote, “Girl can rock some camo.”
What’s more, family matriarch, Kristi McBee, and Allie were all smiles in a photo of them cheek-to-cheek. “My actual soulmate (Momma McBee),” Allie wrote over the snap. It comes as a huge shift for the woman who emphatically disapproved of Steven’s ex-girlfriend Calah Jackson in Season 2.
How the McBee family feels about Steven McBee Jr.’s new girlfriend
In the frenzy of Steven’s hard launch of Allie, the rest of his family are voicing their approval.
Kacie Adkison — the mother of Cole McBee’s only child — commented on the original post, “Smartest thing you’ve ever done” with an emoji of clapping hands. Jesse’s wife, Alli Ventresca — who gave birth to Summer Leigh McBee earlier this year — also jumped in to say, “Yay, love this! Summer and I approve for Uncle Steven.”
Steven Sr., meanwhile, said he was proud of his son at the recent Kansas City event, sharing a red-carpet photo of him and his new girlfriend, writing, “These two have a special glow together that I have never seen with him before. His mom and I are so excited for them both!”
The family business’s CFO, Galyna Saltkovska, gave her blessing with three heart emojis in the comments.
Steven Jr. and Allie also took to the comments, with the latter writing, “I’d do it all over again if it meant meeting you.” Steven’s response? “Couldn’t agree more, love.”

Seasons 1 and 2 featured the breakups and makeups between Steven Jr. and his former girlfriend of three years, Calah, culminating with Calah’s explosive fight with the McBees during a family trip to the Ozarks. Attempts for reconciliation failed in the Season 2 finale when Calah walked away from production and ghosted Steven on Jesse and Alli’s wedding day.
Kristi has taken at least some issue with her son’s dating life since filming ended. Stay tuned for more on Steven’s new relationship.
