When a relationship implodes in public, the aftermath can drag on for months—or years. But influencer Allie Eklund just made one thing crystal clear: she’s not interested in any future conversations with Steven McBee Jr., the star of“The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.”
The split came fast and hard. After their whirlwind romance kicked off in late 2025, things escalated quickly, with engagement talks already in the works. Then, in April, everything unraveled when Steven publicly accused Allie of cheating during Stagecoach. She’s denied the allegations outright, and the fallout turned messy in the worst way—the kind of public breakup that leaves both sides bruised and exhausted. When TMZ caught up with Allie outside Craig’s in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, she doubled down on her position: this door is closed, locked, and she’s thrown away the key.
What’s interesting here is the nuance beneath that firm boundary. Allie actually tried to encourage Steven to seek professional help earlier in their relationship, but he wasn’t ready to listen at the time. Now that he’s completed a six-day trauma retreat—saying he wants to“break the cycle”and take accountability—she’s genuinely glad he’s doing the work. That’s not bitter. That’s maturity. She’s not rooting for his downfall; she’s just protecting her own peace.
And she’s leaning on the people who matter: friends and family getting her through the grief and fallout. Even managed to joke about needing three martinis just to get through dinner. That sense of humor, when everything’s fallen apart, is often the clearest sign someone’s going to be okay.
The lesson here isn’t complicated: sometimes the healthiest thing you can do after a breakup is exactly what Allie’s doing—wish someone well from a distance, focus on your own recovery, and refuse to be pulled back into the chaos. Steven’s taking his own steps forward. She’s taking hers. And they’re going in separate directions. That’s not cold. That’s clean.
