As of November 15, 2025, the McBee family is preparing to face a challenging transition. Steve McBee Sr., the patriarch of the family, was recently sentenced to 24 months in prison after pleading guilty to his role in a multi-million dollar crop insurance fraud.
In the weeks leading up to his incarceration, the McBee children - Steven Jr., Cole, and Jesse - are making the most of their time with their father. They are prioritizing family dinners and quality time together, determined to support one another through this difficult period. Steven Jr. explains, "We're just spending as much time as we can with him and making sure that we prioritize family time [like] spending dinners over there with him and just leaning on one another for support."
Despite the legal troubles, the family remains remarkably positive. Cole McBee notes that his father, Steve, is "one of the most optimistic, positive people you ever meet," and that his positivity has been instrumental in keeping the family "sane" throughout the ordeal. Even as they face the impending separation, the McBees are committed to working through the challenges as a united front.
Amidst the legal drama, the family also has reasons to celebrate. Steven Jr. has recently gone public with his new girlfriend, Allie Eklund, while Cole has gotten engaged to Kacie Adkison. Additionally, Jesse is reveling in the joy of his newborn daughter. As Steven Jr. states, "We're going to focus on the positives. We have the new babies, the engagement, the wedding, and we're going to get through this as a family. We'll figure it out."
The McBee Dynasty, a Bravo reality show that follows the family's efforts to rescue their farm and cattle ranch, has been renewed for a third season. Viewers will undoubtedly witness the family's resilience and unwavering support for one another as they navigate this challenging chapter.
