Are Jesse McBee & Alli McBee Still Together? (JULY 2026 UPDATE)

Alli McBee and Jesse McBee are shedding new light on the state of their marriage. 

As The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys couple celebrated one year of marriage during Season 3, Episode 5, they candidly opened up about the major issues in their relationship. The situation was so serious, Alli even hinted to Kacie Adkison that a split was not out of the question.

“Trust me, I’m a very strong and independent woman. I know I will be okay, because I’ve set myself up that way, regardless of if I was with Jesse or I was not,” Alli shared during McBee Dynasty’s July 13 episode. “But, I want to give him the opportunity to change.”

Both Alli and Jesse have been clear that their marriage isn’t perfect during McBee Dynasty Season 3, with Alli telling a producer during the July 6 episode she felt “100 percent” alone sometimes.

Alli revealed more about their intimacy issues in the July 13 episode when she added, “There have been moments when I’m like, ‘No, I do deserve better.’ Truly, he’s my best friend. But romantically, there’s things that are lacking, like, major things.”

To producers, Alli confessed that communication was one of her biggest problems with Jesse as they marked their anniversary. “We’ve made it to one year. We’re still together. But, I just wish he would take the initiative and kind of talk to me about this stuff versus me having to talk to him and bring it to his attention,” she admitted.

He confessed to producers about having an anxeity attack at the thought of marriage: “I’m thinking about getting married. I can feel my heart beating through my chest, and I start sweating.

Alli McBee and Jesse McBee detail issues in their marriage

Jesse and Alli opened up about what’s wrong in their marriage during a game night with Jesse’s brothers, Cole McBee and Steven McBee Jr. as well as their respective partners, Kacie and Allie Eklund.

“How can I be a better partner?” Jesse read off a game card during McBee Dynasty’s July 13 episode, and Alli was quick to answer. “He’s definitely one to keep stuff in, so. You need to communicate how you’re feeling: what you like, what you don’t like, what I can do to be better, those kinds of things,” she told him. “I wanna know that stuff. So I’d say communication.”

Jesse agreed that conversation was their biggest issue: “I would say just more of an open line of communication.”

Along those same lines, both Jesse and Alli discovered during the game that neither feels heard by the other. “Do you feel like I listen to you when you are speaking with me?” Jesse read off a game card, and Alli immediately responded, “No.”

Jesse also answered, “No,” and added. “You’re either on your phone—that just happened last week—or you just completely ignore what I’m trying to say.”

Privately, the couple complained of their home life to producers. “When I come home from work it’s either just like, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ And then we go our separate ways. Like it’s not really like she’s excited to see me,” Jesse revealed. Alli explained, “I’m being open, I’m being vulnerable, but I don’t think Jesse does that.”

Along with communication, both Alli and Jesse hinted at problems in their sex life. After Alli read off a game card, “Are you happy with the level of intimacy in our relationship?” she added, “I know your answer…No. We both have initiation problems. That’s where we lack.”

Jesse was stunned to find out during the game that Alli stopped taking her birth control, but also admitted it wasn’t a problem. “It’s not an issue right now because we’re not having sex, so, it’s kinda impossible [to have another baby],” he revealed.

Alli and Jesse also opened up about a recurring issue in their marriage during The McBee Dynasty’s July 13 episode: living in two separate homes.

“Jesse and I don’t see a whole lot of each other,” Alli told producers. “Jesse has been spending a lot of nights at the farm. And my house is in the city.”

Alli revealed new details about her challenging postpartum experience with Summer during The McBee Dynasty’s July 13 episode.

“I honestly don’t think I probably would have made it through my, probably a couple of months, postpartum without Kristi [McBee] or my mom,” she confided in Kacie. Kacie answered, “Because you weren’t getting any breaks whatsoever.”

Alli explained that she didn’t feel supported by Jesse during that time. “I mean, during that time especially, I needed a bit of like, normalcy. I needed someone to like take the stress off of me, but I didn’t necessarily get that,” she shared.

Alli also disclosed that she felt dismissed by Jesse when she shared her postpartum struggles. “I expressed it to him, but you know,” she trailed off. “It’s one of those things he has to actively be listening.”

Jesse and Alli both agreed that becoming parents has negatively impacted their sex life and intimacy. “Since becoming a parent, my relationship with Alli’s definitely been more—probably coparenting more than anything,” Jesse confessed to producers. “Like we are very focused on Summer, and our actual relationship probably got a little less romantic than it was beforehand.”

ICYMI, Alli shared an update on Summer during her first birthday, as she called her “the biggest blessing.”
