Less than a year into Alli McBee and Jesse McBee’s marriage, the honeymoon seemed to already be over. During The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 3, Episode 4 (streaming on Peacock beginning July 7), Alli candidly opened up about her and Jesse’s relationship problems like never before.
How to Watch
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
As you might recall, Alli and Jesse welcomed their daughter, Summer, in April 2025, six months after their fairytale wedding that was featured on Season 2 of the show. The challenges of first-time parenthood quickly shifted focus from their wedded bliss to the around-the-clock duties as a new mom and dad.
Further complicating matters, as Alli explained in a one-on-one with Kacie Adkison, was that Jesse had stopped pitching in as much with Summer. “I’m gonna need a little more help as she’s starting to get busier, so I really need him to kind of step up,” Alli shared. “His mind is definitely elsewhere right now. He’s so stressed out with everything going on.”

She continued, “But I want to feel like our relationship is a priority. And I want him to just kind of see it that way too. Because if not, and we just keep pushing things off, you know, like, what’s gonna happen to us? We’re just gonna be complacent in our relationship?”Â
Alli also admitted to a producer that she felt “100 percent” alone sometimes. “I mean, since having Summer, we definitely have not been focusing on our marriage,” she elaborated. “I am either with the baby or he’s at work. It gets a little hard and it feels like it’s a little defeating, at times.”
Alli McBee gets candid about sex life with Jesse McBeeÂ
A bit later in The McBee Dynasty‘s July 6 episode, the topic of Alli and Jesse’s sex life — or lack thereof — also came up in conversation. As Alli was recounting how her nail tech had recently asked if she was pregnant again, Kacie chimed in to ask, “Have you and Jesse been practicing safe sex?” She bluntly responded, “No. You have to practice sex to have a baby.”
In a confessional, Alli added, “There’s no way that I’m pregnant. You’ve gotta do the deed to get pregnant. That’s not happening for me right now. The romance of our relationship is just kind of dwindled out a little bit. I think there’s a lot of factors that play into intimacy postpartum. I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin yet, and I think that we have fallen into a pattern of being parents right now.”
Jesse, for his part, previously said during the Season 3 premiere, “Alli and I’s intimacy has gone downhill since Summer was born. You just kind of get used to not, you know, making love.”
Jesse McBee shares his perspective on his marital issues with Alli McBee
Elsewhere in the episode, Jesse acknowledged that his and Alli’s one-year wedding anniversary was quickly approaching, before sharing his POV on their marital issues. “We’ve had a really tough past year,” he said. “Between my dad’s ordeal, the farm’s finances, becoming a father, this is just a very hard time in our lives. And there’s probably times that we feel disconnected and where we don’t feel as close as we probably once were.”
That point was illustrated during Jesse and Alli’s tense anniversary dinner, later on. As the two tried to “get that spark again,” they ended up bickering over everything from Alli being on her phone to that fact that Jesse had “decided to go play golf and drink all morning,” as she put it, before their date night. Ultimately, they found themselves comparing their marriage to a newly engaged Kacie and Cole McBee’s relationship, as well as Steven McBee Jr.’s romance with new girlfriend Allie Eklund.

“I feel like [our relationship is] not as good because we’re not touching each other all the time or making out or talking to each other constantly,” Jesse told a producer. “And I think that gets the best of me to the point where I’m like, ‘There needs to be some sort of spark or something going on here.’ And at this point, I just kind of feel stuck.”
As Alli, separately, concluded, “It’s scary to know that you have kind of fallen into this hole that you feel like you can’t get out of. And it’s kind of hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel right now.”
As they continue to navigate their relationship issues on the show, get details on what to expect from Alli and Jesse on The McBee Dynasty Season 3.
