Galyna Saltkovska is speaking out about her relationship with Steven McBee Sr. and where they stand today.
Season 1 of McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys premiered in 2024. It showed Galyna, who works as CMO of McBee Farm & Cattle Co., in a relationship with Steven Sr., the company’s owner.
The pair had an affair while Steven Sr. was married to his wife Kristi McBee. This led to their divorce in 2019.
Season 2 premiered in June and revealed a major change. Galyna and Steven Sr. were no longer together. He’d had an affair with her friend Masha.
Galyna talked to PEOPLE about 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]. So it’s been a crazy growth experience for me [that] I’m super grateful for.”
Speaking Up and Moving Forward
Galyna hopes her experience can help other women. She wants to show them “when enough is enough and you can speak up and you can just do some things, and it’s okay.”
She takes responsibility for her actions.
“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. 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 stand with Steven Sr. and Kristi now?
She talks to both of them regularly.
“[I] definitely talk to Kristi a lot. Talk to Steven, talk to Steve every day. 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.”
Making Peace with Kristi
Galyna and Kristi met to discuss everything that happened between them.
Fans saw this conversation in the show’s Aug. 4 episode. Galyna called it the “best experience.”
“[I’m] absolutely grateful I met her, got introduced to her, and that we had those very authentic conversations.”
Right now, Galyna is “definitely open to building a relationship” in the future. But dating isn’t her main priority.

There’s one relationship that’s definitely over.
Her friendship with Masha won’t be repaired.
“Definitely not that. That is not going to happen ever and in any near future. I do not appreciate backstabbers or cowards.”
