Cleaned & Refined Version
Steven McB Jr.’s new relationship has officially earned a major stamp of approval — and it’s coming from the person whose opinion matters most.
Just weeks after confirming he was dating creator Alli Ecklund, the McB Dynasty: Real American Cowboy star opened up about how seamlessly she’s fitting into his famously close-knit family. Speaking at BravoCon 2025, Steven revealed that while Alli has bonded easily with everyone, no connection surprised him more than the one she formed with his mother, Christy McB.
“Everything has been really positive,” Steven shared. “It’s been such a great experience being with someone who brings a sense of calm into my life and fits in with my family so naturally. It’s honestly been amazing.”
Then, with a laugh, he added, “My mom might already like her more than I do. She keeps saying she has a new best friend. They text each other more than Alli and I do.”
The warm reception marks a sharp contrast to Steven’s previous relationship. He went public with Alli on November 3, nearly a year after his split from Kala Jackson, a relationship that had been complicated and emotionally taxing. During season two, episode five of McB Dynasty, Christy didn’t shy away from voicing her concerns.
“I just wanted him to move on,” she admitted in a confessional. “I struggle with anyone who constantly creates conflict. The last thing I wanted was to watch my son stay in something that wasn’t good for him.”
With Alli, the difference has been undeniable.
Thinking About What’s Next
Although the relationship is still new, Steven admitted his mindset has shifted. Watching his brothers, Jesse and Cole, build families of their own has made him think more seriously about the future.
“I know it’s early, but things feel really promising with Alli,” he said. “Seeing my brothers with their kids changed my perspective. It made me realize how much family means — and how I don’t want to miss out on that.”
How They Met
Their first interaction wasn’t exactly smooth.
Steven revealed that he initially reached out to Alli on Instagram — multiple times — before finally getting a response, thanks to a nudge from their mutual friend William Van Orstell, whom Steven jokingly credited with an “A+ recommendation.”
“It took months and more than a few messages,” Steven laughed. “But once we finally went on a date, it was incredible. One of the best nights ever.”
A Family Dinner That Said Everything
Not long after BravoCon, Christy insisted Alli attend a long-standing McB family tradition: dinner at the ranch.
Two evenings later, the family gathered around the well-worn wooden table that had seen birthdays, baby announcements, season wrap parties, and the occasional difficult conversation. Homemade chili simmered, cornbread filled the room with warmth, and laughter echoed easily.
Alli sat beside Steven, while Christy claimed the seat on her other side, eager to talk.
“So, Alli,” Christy said warmly, “tell me about that photography project with the horses.”
As Alli explained her work documenting rural communities and working animals, Christy leaned in, fully engaged. Jokes flew, brothers chimed in, and the table erupted in laughter when Christy teased, “You’ve clearly never met a McB man. They live for attention.”
Steven watched quietly, struck by how natural it all felt. Alli wasn’t trying to impress anyone. She was simply herself — and that was more than enough.
Later, as the evening wound down, Cole nudged Steven and murmured, “She fits here.”
Steven didn’t hesitate. “Yeah,” he said. “I know.”
Quiet Moments, Real Conversations
Driving home under the glow of dashboard lights, Alli broke the silence.
“That went really well,” she said softly.
“They really like you,” Steven replied. “Especially my mom.”
When Alli gently asked if things had been hard before, Steven didn’t dodge the question.
“It was complicated,” he admitted. “My family went through it with me. That’s why they’re protective now.”
“I’m not here to rush anything,” Alli said, resting her hand on his arm. “I’m happy to go at whatever pace feels right.”
Steven wasn’t used to this kind of calm — the kind that doesn’t demand explanations or drama. And for the first time in a long time, he realized how much he’d needed it.
A Soft Beginning
The following weekend, Steven gave Alli a full tour of the ranch. Sunlight spilled across open fields, horses grazed along the fence line, and cameras clicked as Alli captured the life Steven had grown up in.
At a quiet overlook — a place Steven reserved only for family — he shared that it had been his father’s favorite view. Alli didn’t rush the moment. She simply took his hand.
Behind the scenes, Christy told Jesse and Cole exactly what they were all thinking.
“He’s calmer,” she said. “He hasn’t had that in a long time.”
As the weekend came to an end, Steven and Alli stood by his truck, watching the sunset stretch across the sky.
“I had a great time,” she said.
“Me too,” he replied. “More than you know.”
Steven didn’t claim certainty. He didn’t rush promises. But as the breeze moved through the grass and the ranch settled into evening, one thing felt clear:
For the first time in years, whatever came next didn’t feel heavy.
It felt right.
