Overview
- The on‑screen relationship between Steven McBee Jr. and Allie Eklund, filmed for season 3, ended in April 2026 after tensions shown on the show and off‑camera disputes.
- Steven says family pressure to settle down pushed him to move quickly toward marriage and that he researched ring details but did not buy one because of cost.
- The split followed Steven's public accusation that Allie cheated at Stagecoach, which she denied, and Steven later issued a public apology for cruel messages he sent about her.
- Steven now says he is single and focused on family and the McBee businesses, and Allie says she was hurt, is moving on, and prefers dating someone she already knows, possibly from Texas.
- Leaked texts about cast pay and on‑screen discussions of a tallow‑skincare equity split are circulating but remain unverified by Bravo, leaving reputational and production uncertainty for the series.
