Following the wild Season 2 finale of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, Jesse McBee and Alli Ventresca now have their happily ever after.
How to Watch
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys airs on Bravo on Mondays at 9/8c. Episodes available next day on Peacock.
Despite the drama unfolding behind the scenes, Jesse and Alli’s fairy tale wedding was a complete success on Season 2, Episode 10.
And, since filming ended, the longtime partners have also welcomed their first child: a baby girl named Summer Leigh McBee, born on April 17 (just four months after Cole McBee and Kacie Adkison welcomed their daughter, Blair).
Suffice to say, a lot has happened in the past few months — but thankfully for fans, Jesse stopped by Bravo HQ after Season 2 wrapped to discuss life as a husband and new dad.
All the details on Jesse Mcbee and Alli’s newborn daughter, Summer
The birth of Summer McBee came as a surprise to some viewers, as Alli’s motherhood journey began after filming on Season 2 ended.
She announced the newest McBee on Instagram in April, and shared the special news that she had been born on what was Alli’s 30th birthday. “I truly have no words to describe what it feels like becoming a mother and seeing the love your life become a father,” she wrote. “My heart has never been so full.”
Being first-time parents isn’t easy, though. As Jesse put it during his recent interview at Bravo HQ, “If I’m being completely honest, it was really tough to start.”

Of the first few “whirlwind” weeks with Summer, Jesse credited his new bride for doing most of the work. “I mean, it’s a life change, and those first few weeks are a whirlwind. I honestly barely remember them; I feel like it was just a phase in my life that went by so fast,” he said. “You know, feed the baby, try to get some sleep here and there, and then she’s pooping, changing diapers. I think I’ve changed five total, which is pretty good.”
Fatherhood in general is “amazing,” Jesse added. “Now she’s kind of getting her own personality and kind of recognizing things, so I think this is my favorite part.”
How Jesse McBee and Cole McBee’s kids are bonding
Like Summer, Blair continues to grow into her own, and Jesse noted that it’s “a neat feeling” to have a new generation for the family’s business, McBee Farm & Cattle.
Kacie separately told The Daily Dish in a post-Season 2 interview that parenting alongside Alli “has been a lot of fun.”
“It’s not always easy, but having Alli by my side who understands exactly what I’m going through has been a lifesaver,” she added. “We can laugh and also cry together as new moms and it has brought us so much closer. I would consider Alli a sister and I’m lucky I get to go through this phase of life with her.”

Cole shared a similar sentiment in his own interview with The Daily Dish, explaining, “Being able to take in parenthood with Jesse and Alli has been a lot of fun. Watching Summer and Blair grow up together and already becoming best friends is the coolest thing in the world.”
Are Jesse McBee and Alli living together full time?
As for their current living situation after Season 2, Jesse admitted Alli “won that battle,” and he’s spending a lot more time in the city. As he put it, “My mom [Kristi McBee] lives in the city, her parents live in the city, so as far as babysitting Summer, it makes life a lot easier when it comes to that.”
He called it “a happy medium.”
Jesse McBee reveals new details about his and Alli’s wedding
Despite Alli planning the October 2024 wedding without much help from Jesse, the second of the McBee brothers said the day went “really smooth.” Big brother Steven McBee Jr., meanwhile, officiated the ceremony.
“Between filming for three months straight, the buildup of that, and then getting through, obviously, the wedding ceremony and everything … we finally did it, and we can just celebrate,” said Jesse. “And just being around everyone that I love is probably my favorite thing.”
Looking back on the day’s drama — namely when Galyna Saltkovska got into a car wreck and wound up behind bars (thus missing the wedding she so badly wanted to attend) — Jesse said they managed to “keep the focus on the wedding and what was important.”
