The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is at its heart a reality show about family and farming — so how is everyone related?

“My job here on the ranch is to make sure that this place runs as smoothly as it can, and to try and keep my brothers out of trouble,” eldest brother Steven McBee Jr. teased via a June 2025 Instagram video, promoting season 2 of the Bravo series.

Steven is one of four boys that run and work at McBee Farm & Cattle in Missouri. The ranch was started by their father, Steven “Steve” McBee, in the ‘90s but in 2024, Steven took over with his brothers, Jesse, Cole and Brayden McBee.

During season 2, fans get introduced to their mom, Kristi McBee, who left the farm following her divorce from Steve in 2021.

The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.

The McBee Dynasty Family Guide Steve McBee

Steve was married to Kristi for 28 years before they divorced in 2021. The exes share four sons, Steven Jr., Jesse, Cole and Brayden. Steve created the McBee Farm & Cattle ranch in Gallatin, Missouri, in 1998, after slowly buying up land. After a major deal with his car washes fell through during season 1, Steve left the ranch.

Once he walked away, trouble soon followed the family. In November 2024, Steve pleaded guilty to a multimillion-dollar fraud scam using federal crop insurance. He was charged with one count of federal crop insurance fraud after allegedly receiving insurance benefits based on false totals from the family’s corn and soybean crops in 2018. He was also accused of fraud in 2019 and 2020.

Steve was ordered to pay restitution, which will be determined by the court, as part of the plea arrangement. It’s estimated that he will have to give over $3.1 million to the government, which claims they lost more than $4 million as a result of the scandal. Steve is currently facing up to 30 years in federal prison without parole. His sentencing is scheduled for September 2025.

Steven is the eldest of Steve and Kristi’s four children. Steven starred on Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer during season 1 in 2022, where he met his on-off girlfriend Calah Jackson. After his father left the ranch, Steven took over to run everything. He is the CEO of McBee Farm & Cattle.

Jesse McBee

Jesse is the second McBee son. During season 1, fans got insight into his love life with now-wife Alli Ventresca, whom he began dating in high school. The couple got engaged during the season 1 finale and tied the knot in October 2024. Jesse and Alli welcomed their first baby, daughter Summer, in April 2025. Jesse is the head of construction at McBee Farms.

Cole McBee

Cole is the third oldest son. He is the go-to farmer in the brood, acting as a manager for the farm. Cole became a father in December 2024, when he and girlfriend Kacie Adkison welcomed their first baby, daughter Blair.

Brayden McBee

Brayden is the youngest of the four boys. Unlike his three older siblings, when their parents divorced, he lived most of the time with their mom. Brayden had a long-term girlfriend during season 1 but was single when season 2 started filming. He works on the farm with his brothers, but is not shown on the series as often.

Kristi McBee

Kristi is the mother of Steven, Cole, Jesse and Brayden. She welcomed the boys during her 20-plus year marriage with Steve. The couple split in 2021, which was in part because of Steve’s relationship with Galyna Saltkosvska. During season 2, Kristi returned to the farm to help run things in her ex-husband’s absence.

Alli Ventresca

Alli dated Jesse for more than a decade before he proposed. The couple got married in Missouri in October 2024. Alli, who is a nurse practitioner, gave birth to their first baby, Summer, in April 2025.

Kacie Adkison

Kacie met Cole in 2019 and dated on and off for years. They welcomed their first baby, Blair, in December 2024. As of June 2025, they are still together.

Calah Jackson

Calah doesn’t have a ring yet, but she’s been dating Steven on and off since they met on Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer in 2022. When she’s not in Missouri with Steven, she lives in Dallas. When filming began for season 2 in late summer 2024, she and Steven were back together, but it’s unclear if they are still an item.

Galyna Saltkosvska

Galyna is not related to the McBee’s but she did date Steve Sr. shortly after she began working for McBee Farms. Following his split from Kristi, Steve and Galyna lived together part time, and she worked her way up in the company and is now the CFO and COO. Galyna and Steve split sometime after season 1 aired — before the middle of 2024 — after he started sleeping with her friend Masha. She is still close to the family and they work side by side.
