Note: this story contains spoilers from The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys season 2 finale, featuring the wedding of Jesse and Alli McBee.
For Jesse and Alli (Ventresca) McBee, Season 2 of their family reality show, The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, was an emotional roller coaster filled with dramatic moments and major milestones. One of the season's main storylines was the pair's wedding, which is shown in the season finale.

Before the happy couple gets to walk down the aisle, though, they must first navigate some drama – including Jesse getting pressure from brother Steven McBee, Jr. to have Alli sign a prenup, and escalating tension and unpredictability involving Galyna Saltkovska, the CFO of McBee Farm & Cattle Co. and former girlfriend of family patriarch Steve McBee. Throughout all of that, they also managed to keep a wonderful secret.
Parade caught up with the happy couple – now looking forward to celebrating their first anniversary in a few weeks – to find out what was happening behind the scenes during the filming of the show's second season.

A Bundle of Joy Kept Under Wraps
The biggest event happening in the couple's lives during Season 2 is one that viewers knew nothing about. Their daughter, Summer, was born in April 2025 – meaning the pair knew Alli was pregnant during most of the season's filming. But they kept it a secret, even from most of the crew and others involved with the show. That was partly due to their desire to keep this part of their lives private, but also because they didn't want to take away from another couple in the family whose pregnancy was already a major storyline. Jesse's brother Cole and his girlfriend Kacie Adkison were expecting a baby (their daughter Blair would arrive in December 2024).
Viewers won't get to see Alli's pregnancy play out on screen, but little Summer is a happy and healthy baby, her proud parents report.
"She's great," says Alli. "She's just growing like a weed. It's kind of crazy – you blink, and they're already four months old. And it's pretty crazy how much they change and grow in the first few months of life."

Pushing for a Prenup
Jesse and Ali may have kept the pregnancy under wraps, but their wedding was a major part of the season's focus. As their big day approached, Jesse faced increasing pressure from Steven to have Alli sign a prenup to address any potential future claims on the business and other family assets. In the end, Jesse refuses.
Although Alli was unaware of these conversations at the time, she says she isn't upset about it, now that she has watched it on screen. "I wouldn't get mad about that kind of thing, because I know where they're coming from. I'm not offended about the prenup stuff, but it is just a little bit weird to be watching it now."
Jesse says he wanted to make sure everyone involved felt like their concerns were heard. "It was just one of those things where I had to look at it from two different perspectives, as a partner [to Alli], and then also as a brother who is involved in business that involves all my other brothers, and something that my dad has been working on for the past 30 years of his life. So there's a lot of things I had to take into account. I gave it my full thought and gave everybody a chance to kind of speak and discuss how they felt about it."
Panic on the Combine
As the pressure of wedding planning, prenup discussions, and farm finances rapidly escalated, we saw Jesse reach a breaking point when he experienced a panic attack while operating a harvesting machine. While Jesse admits it was a bit uncomfortable putting that experience out there in public, he has gotten a lot of good feedback from viewers.
"It's been pretty much all positive, just thanking me for opening up like that," Jesse says. "I'm not a very open person in general. I'm sure the viewers have seen that I don't open up about my feelings a whole lot. It's probably something I need to work on. And I think that was just a lot of pent-up anxiety that I got to a point where I just couldn't handle it anymore, and I needed an outlet."

Galyna Misses the Wedding
Reeling from her breakup with Steve McBee and her feelings of betrayal because her former friend, Masha, is now Steve's girlfriend, Galyna seems to be caught in a downward spiral this season. Steven McBee Jr. confronts Galyna about allegedly drinking at work – an accusation she denies – and we see her get into several heated encounters with Masha. On a happier note, Galyna is delighted when Jesse gives her an invitation to his wedding, which makes it surprising that she doesn't show up at the event.
Viewers find out the reason: Footage shows Galyna being taken away in a police car after crashing her car. She was reportedly cited with a minor traffic charge and released. This all unfolded on Jesse and Alli's wedding day, but the happy couple say they were blissfully unaware of the situation. "We had heard sirens when we were standing outside, but didn't think anything of it," says Jesse.
"My wedding planner kind of made it her mission: no drama," says Alli. "She did a good job, so I didn't really have a clue what was going on [outside of the wedding]."
A Gift That Got Their Motor Running
Jesse and Alli both immediately respond in unison when asked what their favorite wedding gift was: "The truck!"
Jesse's father, Steve McBee, got them a 1979 GMC truck that a group of family friends and employees had spent weeks restoring. "We were both pretty excited about that," Alli says.

Steve's Legal Troubles Loom in the Background
Steve McBeewas a prominent figure in the series' first season, but is noticeably absent from the second season until making a few brief appearances in a few later episodes. That's because he was likely busy focusing on his legal issues. He was being investigated by the FBI for crop insurance fraud (which Jesse and Cole were unaware of until Steve broke the news to them shortly before Jesse's wedding).
Steve McBee eventually pled guilty to one count of federal crop insurance fraud, a charge that carries potential penalties of up to 30 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for next week.
"It's still ongoing, so we can't say much about it," says Jesse. "I would just say to stick with us. We're sticking together as a family. If anything, this has brought us closer as a family and made us realize what's important. And don't believe everything that you read on the internet, as always. We appreciate the support in any capacity. Things happen, and we're going to stick together as a family at the end of the day, no matter what."
