McBee Dynasty’s Galyna Reveals Where She Stands with Steven Sr. Today After His Affair with Her Close Friend (Exclusive)

Galyna Saltkovska is opening up about her past relationship with Steven McBee Sr. — and reveals where the two stand today.

Season 1 of McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, which premiered in 2024, saw Galyna, CMO of McBee Farm & Cattle Co., in the midst of her years-long relationship with Steven Sr., who ran the company. The pair previously had an affair amid Steven Sr.’s marriage to his longtime wife Kristi McBee, resulting in their divorce in 2019.

By the time season 2 premiered in June, Galyna and Steven Sr. were no longer together following his affair with her friend Masha.

Now, Galyna shares with PEOPLE what it’s been like filming the Bravo series.

“I am an introvert through most of my life. I’m a trained extrovert, so showcasing all of that has been extremely difficult, but it also is getting [me out of my comfort zone],” the reality star shares. “So it’s been a crazy growth experience for me [that] I’m super grateful for.”

Gaylna notes that she hopes what she went through proves to be “an example for some women that when enough is enough and you can speak up and you can just do some things, and it’s okay.”

“I own all my things. I know that I went way overboard, but a lot of people don’t know my entire background, and why I did things I did,” she says. “Not always entirely proud of everything that I did, but that was my emotion in the moment, based on my previous experience, based on everything that was going on, based on so many things that a lot of people may not know.”

So, where does Galyna currently stand with Steven Sr. and Kristi?

“[I] definitely talk to Kristi a lot. Talk to Steven, talk to Steve every day,” she says. “We obviously have businesses, and I developed a friendship with Kristi, for which I’m super grateful. Definitely always been a fan of Steven, kind of growing on the friendship with Steven.”

Galyna reached a better place with Kristi after the pair met to discuss everything that went down.
It’s a moment that fans saw unfold in the show’s Aug. 4 episode, something she deemed to be the “best experience.”

“[I’m] absolutely grateful I met her, got introduced to her, and that we had those very authentic conversations,” she says.

At this time, Galyna is “definitely open to building a relationship” in the future, but it is not currently a main priority.

However, one thing she is certain of is that her friendship with Masha is irretrievably broken.

“Definitely not that. That is not going to happen ever and in any near future,” she adds. “I do not appreciate backstabbers or cowards.”
