“The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys” star Steven McBee Jr. is revealing where the family stands with Galyna Saltkovska after their explosive season 3 finale.
The Aug. 17 episode showed the Bravo star learning that Steven Jr. and his brothers, Jesse McBee, Cole McBee and Brayden McBee, planned to sell the family’s McBee’s Coffee N Car Wash business and “cut ties” with their longtime CFO.
Galyna didn’t take the news well. She responded by smashing several windows on Steven Jr.’s truck, leading him to declare at the time that she was “so done.”
Despite the dramatic confrontation, both Steven Jr. and Galyna now say their relationship survived the fallout.
Steven McBee Jr. Says Galyna Saltkovska Is ‘Always Going to Be a Part of Our Lives’
Speaking with Bravo Insider after filming, Steven Jr. made it clear that he doesn’t consider Galyna permanently separated from the McBee family.
“Galyna’s always going to be a part of our lives,” Steven Jr. said in July 2026. “I consider Galyna family to all of us. I have a lot of sympathy for what Galyna has been through and the situation with her and my dad and the way that all went down.”
Galyna previously had a complicated personal and professional relationship with Steven McBee Sr. Steven Jr. acknowledged that history while discussing her reaction to the family’s business decision.
“It’s not 100 percent fair to blame all of this on Galyna,” he said. “My dad has a big part in Galyna going off the rails. And so, I do have a lot of sympathy for her, a lot of love and care for her and her daughter, for sure.”
Galyna offered a similar update during an August interview with Bravo Insider.
“We are doing good,” she said. “Still staying strong, running the businesses, doing what we have to do.”
Steven Jr. said the family’s decision was influenced by both financial pressures and the personal issues that had become intertwined with their businesses.
“There is so much that has happened over the last few years on the personal side, that no matter how many times we talk or how much candid communication there is, it all affects the businesses,” he explained. “You can’t have that much happen on your personal life and it not come into the businesses and affect the success or the outcome of the businesses. So, we just decided that was the right decision.”
Galyna Saltkovska Regrets Her ‘Epic’ Reaction to McBee Family Decision
Galyna admitted she was furious when the brothers told her about their plans.
“I needed some time to comprehend the information,” she told Bravo Insider. “I am a very emotional person. Not emotional. I have a huge temper, so my temper probably got the best of me.”
She said her connection to the car wash business made the decision feel personal, particularly because she wasn’t included in the discussion beforehand.
“Building the car washes and being in this entire situation probably was the biggest decision in my life,” Galyna explained. “So, when I heard the news and them making the decision without actually talking to me first where we can make the decision together, I think that was the biggest thing that pissed me off.”
Looking back, she acknowledged that smashing Steven Jr.’s truck windows wasn’t her best moment.
“I did completely lash out in the most epic way,” she said.
Does Galyna Still Work for the McBee Family Despite Their Plan to ‘Cut Ties’?
The biggest development since filming is that the separation shown on “The McBee Dynasty” hasn’t actually happened.
Galyna confirmed to Bravo Insider in August 2026 that she is “still working” for the McBee family in the same role. The family also has not yet completed the planned sale of its car wash business.
Steven Jr. said the McBees nevertheless remain committed to the decisions they made to improve their financial position.
He previously revealed that the car wash business had accumulated approximately $35 million in debt. The family has also shifted its attention toward its cattle and meat operations rather than crop farming.
Despite the challenges, Steven Jr. said the family’s outlook has improved significantly.
“That’s not saying that we’re out of the woods yet,” he said. “But as far as the direction that things are heading, I have not felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel at any time over the last five or six years. And with the decisions that we’ve made, the tough conversations that we’ve had, and the state of the businesses right now, I feel like we are less than a year away from being in a really, really good spot.”
Steven Jr. credited the progress to the decisions he and his brothers made together.
“A lot of the decisions that my brothers and I made, that we worked through together, has led us to be in a much better spot than we were in previously,” he said.
As for whether he’ll miss the car washes if the family ultimately completes the sale, Steven Jr. didn’t hesitate.
“No,” he said.
“The car wash is a really, really neat business,” Steven Jr. added. “It’s cool getting to interact with people that live in the community. That’s the best part of the business. The actual business itself is not so much fun.”
