New parents Jesse McBee and Alli McBee of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys have settled the debate on where to settle down with their infant daughter, Summer Leigh McBee.
The second-oldest McBee brother out of Gallatin, Missouri, spoke exclusively to The Daily Dish during BravoCon 2025, explaining that he and his wife of one year had ironed out their living situation, a near dealbreaker in Season 2. “We’re still doing a split commute,” Jesse said. “Except we’re doing it together.”
Jesse gave a similar report back in September, describing the pull between his rural hometown and where Alli works as a nurse practitioner in Kansas City, about an hour’s drive south.
“So, we’re either at the farm together or at our city house together,” Jesse said. “So, we’ve worked that out.”

Jesse McBee shares an update on his daughter, Summer
In the meantime, 7-month-old Summer is growing up fast as the second of the McBees’ next generation, following the birth of Cole McBee and Kacie Adkison’s daughter, Blair Collins McBee.
“[Summer’s] doing great, growing like a weed every day,” Jesse said of his only child. “She’s starting to crawl around now, so she’s going to be a lot more to handle, but she’s getting her little personality, so she’s a little rat. Sometimes she’s funny, though.”
Jesse and Alli McBee explain why they kept her pregnancy a secret
Audiences tuning in to Season 2 might have been surprised to learn that Alli was secretly pregnant when planning the gorgeous wedding featured on the finale. However, the high school sweethearts were already facing an uphill battle with life’s stressors, from family debates over a prenup and Jesse’s anxieties ahead of saying ‘I do. therefore news of expecting a baby was “a happy surprise,” Jesse previously told The Daily Dish.
“I think it was just pent-up anxiety from, obviously, the wedding, the years of us dating — and what a lot of people don’t know is that we had just found out that we were having a [baby] girl,” Jesse added in an interview with Us Weekly. “We didn’t tell anybody [in] the camera crew, [or] really any of our family at all … So, it was all of that just kind of came to a head. And I had to let it out somehow.”
The couple welcomed the family’s newest addition on April 17, which fell on Alli’s 30th birthday.

The recently engaged Cole and Kacie welcomed Blair on Dec. 13, 2024 (as seen on the Season 2 finale), and Cole said raising the girls strengthened the bond between him and his older bro, Jesse.
During BravoCon’s Parents Night Out panel on Nov. 14, Cole said, “Honestly, I feel like it’s brought us way closer. We’ve been able to talk about all the problems, or, you know, anything we’ve been struggling with, we’ve been able to talk together.”
Of course, there was much joy in seeing the bond between the little cousins, too.
“One of the coolest things in the world is seeing our two daughters together,” Cole continued. “They’re four months and four days apart, and they are best friends. Summer, which is Jesse’s daughter, just laughs at Blair the whole entire time, and it’s like, it’s the cutest thing ever. It’s been the best thing that our family has ever had happen, and we definitely needed it now more than ever, those two little girls.”
