Meet the Real-Life Loves of the Season 2 Cast of “The” “McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys”

In The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, the McBee family has to navigate the farming industry, family drama, and of course, their complicated love lives.

The Bravo series follows the McBee family — including brothers Steven Jr., Cole, Jesse and Brayden — as they take on the high-stakes world of farming and ranching in rural Missouri while navigating the inner workings of their business, McBee Farm and Cattle.

Season 2 — which premiered in June 2025 — includes some cast shake-ups, as Steven Sr. does not appear on the show. As Steven Jr. explained to PEOPLE on July 14, his father is "going through [an] FBI investigation," tied to him pleading guilty to multi-million dollar crop insurance fraud in November 2024. But in the wake of his absence, family matriarch Kristi is making her debut on the series alongside her sons — and their partners.

Cole has been with his girlfriend Kacie Adkison for over five years, while Jesse married his wife, Alli, in October 2024. That month, Jesse opened up to PEOPLE about his relationship with Alli, saying, "We love our story and know that people change and grow and learn and we just want to do all of that together."

He added, "We have been through a lot together over the years and have grown stronger because of it. We both love our friends, our families and our life together. We feel our story is special because it is not like anyone else's."

Here's everything to know about the real-life loves of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys season 2 cast.

During an interview with The Daily Dish on July 14, Steven gave an update on where he stands with Jackson, saying, "We still talk from time to time ... [but] I would say things are not great at this point."

When asked if there is any chance of the pair reconciling, he said the door was "closed."

"I think there's just been so much damage done that at some point, you just have to say, 'Hey, I care about you as a person and we had a great run and a great relationship at times, but there's just too many things to try and undo here; too much damage done to try and patch up and repair,' " he said. "I'd rather start fresh with someone new than go back trying to fix everything."

Steven told the outlet that although he's been dating "a couple girls" over the past few months, none were that "serious."

However, per the outlet, Steven said in a recent episode that he and Jackson have broken up and gotten back together 15 or 16 times.

Since parting ways with Steven, Jackson doesn't appear to be dating anyone new.

According to The Daily Dish, she and McBee broke up — this time — because of Jackson's tumultuous relationship with the rest of the McBee family. Per the outlet, Steven told his family that Jackson once said she "hates them" and told them to not speak with her anymore. As a result, none of them allegedly reached out to Jackson after her sister's death.

Despite her on-again, off-again relationship with Steven, Jackson recently attended a family function and had a heartfelt realization about the McBees.

"Being here in Gallatin with the McBee family, you can tell they love each other and [are] very close knit," she said in a recent episode, per The Daily Dish. "This feels so weird for me to say, but there is a part of me that wishes I could be part of Steven's family."

In August 2024, they announced on Instagram that they had a baby on the way. That December, Cole posted on Instagram that their daughter, Blair Collins McBee, was born on Dec. 13, 2024.

He also had a sweet message to Kacie: "you are a superhero," he wrote.

"Watching you become a mom and seeing your motherly instincts kick in seconds after going through child birth is something I will never forget," Cole captioned the post. "The respect and love I have for you is unmatched. Blair has the best mommy in the world and is so lucky to have you."

The pair tied the knot in Smithfield, Mo., on Oct. 19, 2024, with Steven as the officiant and brothers Cole and Brayden as groomsmen.

Following their nuptials, Alli opened up to PEOPLE about their relationship, saying, "I love Jesse’s heart the most."

"He is kind-hearted, soft-spoken, and funny with his one-liners," she continued. "He really makes me laugh and sometimes I am the only one who hears his jokes which makes them all the more funny. I believe I am really the only one who understands him. We know each other better than we know ourselves having been together so long."

The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Summer Leigh McBee, on April 17, 2025, per Alli's Instagram.

Kristie, the McBee family matriarch, was married to Steven Sr. for 28 years before their split.

As she shared in season 2, Kristie filed for divorce after she "started finding out there was a lot of infidelity," per The Daily Dish.

During the season, she's opened up about how her ex-husband's behavior influences her four sons.

"My biggest fear with the boys is that they will become like their father," she said, per the outlet. "I see what the boys are going through, and I can see them picking up some bad habits that their father has towards women. I want them to be good to their wives, girlfriends, to women in general."

In the season 2 premiere, Jackson said that Saltkovska is now "single and ready to mingle," per The Daily Dish.

“My romantic [life] is a little bit on hold right now just because I don’t feel that, emotionally, I am quite there yet to commit or to go on dates,” Saltkovska told the outlet while filming the second season. “I’m just trying to work on myself, put what happened behind me, and heal before I will start committing or seeing anybody."
