Allie Eklund found herself at the center of controversy when her boyfriend, McBee Dynasty star Steven McBee Jr., accused her of cheating on him at the Stagecoach Festival.
“I still don’t know exactly what happened,” McBee claimed via Instagram on April 27, 2026, alleging that Eklund was spotted getting cozy with another man after he flew home from the event. “I just know there was hand holding, grinding, dancing, drunken stupor at an afterparty.”
Eklund later denied the swirling rumors, writing in her own Instagram Story, “This is really sad to see, and I’m genuinely at a loss for words. Posting everything online before we talked is extremely disheartening and extremely unfair, considering l’ve protected Steven many times during the course of our relationship.”
The couple — who were in a relatively low-key romance until the April scandal — have since parted ways, but fans are wanting to know more about Eklund after their drama was aired out.

Allie Eklund Is a Model and Influencer
Eklund is a model, influencer, content creator and entrepreneur. She began modeling in college by sharing her outfits on social media. “One post turned into an audience, and one opportunity turned into something I never expected,” Eklund told Naluda magazine in December 2025.
The influencer majored in finance and accounting, and “never” saw modeling as a career option due to being 5-foot-6.. However, her posts took off and she was soon a full-time model.
Eklund appears to now split her time between Nashville, Texas, and New York for her modeling gigs. She also travels a lot for her platform and documents her outfits and adventures via social media.
Allie Eklund Is a Ranch Girl at Heart
Eklund grew up in Texas Hill Country on her family’s ranch called Triple E Ranch, which she now helps run. The Fredricksberg, Texas, ranch is home to more than 100 farm animals, mini and macro highland cows and “exotics,” according to its Instagram profile.
In addition to working on the ranch itself, Eklund founded the farm’s Triple E Ranch merchandise line and models clothing for their website.
She also founded their latest business venture, Triple E Mercantile, which according to the official Instagram page is a “curated lifestyle shop with home and gifts” opening in May 2026 in Cibolo, Texas.
Allie Eklund Began Dating Steven McBee Jr. in 2025
McBee and Eklund became Instagram official in November 2025. One month later, Eklund gushed about her new man in an interview with Naluda magazine, telling them, “I knew quickly after meeting him that I saw a future with him.”
Throughout their relationship, McBee and Eklund have kept most of their moments together off of social media. However, McBee did pose for Eklund’s Triple E Ranch clothing line in March 2026. (His dog has also popped up on Eklund’s social media page while visiting her family’s Texas ranch.)
One month later, the pair made headlines when McBee accused Eklund of cheating on him after he left the 2026 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California, and she stayed back with friends.
McBee alleged that he received multiple calls and a video that showed Eklund getting cozy with another festivalgoer. “One person at the gym on a Monday. The other drunk and cheating at an afterparty. Crazy,” he wrote during his morning workout.
Eklund denied that she cheated on McBee in her own social media post on April 27, 2026, writing, “I chose not to respond to [Steven] immediately because he has a history of verbally abusing me while he’s in a heightened emotional state, and I felt it was more appropriate to have a private, level-headed conversation once emotions had settled.”
She noted, “Unfortunately, that opportunity wasn’t given to me before he decided to make this situation public, and it’s even more disappointing that he made references to promote his TV show, as this situation is very real for me and my family, who prefer to live privately.”
Both McBee and Eklund hinted that they are no longer together after the scandal.
Has Allie Eklund Starred on ‘The McBee Dynasty’?
Eklund began filming season 3 of The McBee Dynasty alongside Steven and his brothers, Jesse, Cole and Brayden McBee, in late 2025. The season is set to air sometime in 2026, which is when fans will see Eklund on the Bravo series for the first time.
“Stepping into Season 3 felt unfamiliar, but after multiple open and honest conversations, I had a sense of peace about supporting Steven through it. I made it very clear from the beginning that I’m not an actress — I wasn’t there to play a character or perform for the cameras,” Eklund told Naluda magazine in December 2025.
She teased, “What people will see is an organic love story that was genuinely unfolding in real time. I wasn’t even officially Steven’s girlfriend yet when I first appeared on the show; I was simply showing up for someone who asked me to be there for him during a circumstance I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”
