Galyna Saltkovska is more than bummed to see Steven McBee Jr. and Allie Eklund’s romantic relationship come to an end.
“I absolutely adore both of them and support both of them,” Galyna, 48, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while holding a season 3 premiere party for The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys on Monday, June 15. “It’s a very complex situation for me, so I do love both of them.”
Although viewers watched Allie, 29, and Steven, 33, kiss for the first time on the Bravo reality show on Monday night, the pair have since broken up after a dramatic weekend at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California.
On Monday, Galyna made it clear that she’s not picking a favorite or “side” when it comes to the former couple’s dramatic split.
“I definitely won’t be picking sides,” she said from The Abbey in West Hollywood, California. “I am rooting for both of them. I’m really rooting for both of them.”
When asked if viewers may be able to pinpoint some warning signs that Allie and Steven were never end game, Galyna added, “I am pretty positive that everybody always finds the warning signs in everything,” hinting that hindsight truly is 20/20.
Back in April, Steven made headlines when he accused Allie of getting cozy with a man at a country music festival. Allie denied the allegations of cheating and vowed not to speak to her ex ever again.
According to previews, upcoming episodes will spotlight Steven balancing a romantic relationship, a struggling business and life as an uncle to his brother’s kids.
“I think he’s the best uncle. I am enjoying watching him as an uncle,” Galyna told Us. “If I want to have an uncle for anybody, I would want Steven to be an uncle.”
Despite some of the McBee brothers questioning Galyn’s focus as the chief financial officer in McBee Farm & Cattle Co., the Bravo star said she is doing her best to stay focused on the company while also enjoying life after a tumultuous few years.
On Monday night, Galyna celebrated the season 3 premiere with her extended Bravo family, including Alexis Bellino (who is headed to Tuscany with Galyna star this September), Jo De La Rosa, Reza Farahan, Luke Broderick and Zack Wickham.
When responding to skepticism in the premiere episode that she’s too focused on being a celebrity instead of a businesswoman, Galyna set the record straight.
“I can do both. I lived a long life. I’ve been through it all,” she said. “Now it’s my time to have a little bit of both. I handle the business, but at the same time, I have the right to have a little bit of partying and ability to have friends and the ability to spend time with my daughter.”
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET. Stream new episodes on Peacock.
