Calah Jackson is finally opening up about the end of her relationship with Steven McBee Jr., and she isn\u2019t holding back. Speaking to Us Weekly, Calah revealed that being in a relationship with the McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys star was far different than she expected\u2014and ultimately, it cost her more than she realized at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair first met in 2021 on Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer, sparking a romance that quickly became a centerpiece of the McBee family\u2019s reality TV world. But during filming of season 2 of The McBee Dynasty, cracks began to show. Calah admitted that while dating Steven, she often overlooked \u201cwarning signs\u201d that only became clear when she watched the show back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt like I lost a part of myself during the relationship,\u201d Calah confessed, reflecting on her time with Steven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show documented mounting tensions between the couple, with one particularly explosive moment in the Ozarks where Steven sided with his brother Cole McBee during a heated argument against Calah. That fight ultimately pushed their relationship to its breaking point\u2014for what Steven himself joked was the \u201cfifteenth or sixteenth time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after their split, Steven made efforts to reconnect, including inviting Calah to his brother Jesse McBee\u2019s wedding in fall 2024. However, Calah revealed that while they remain cordial, reconciliation is not in the cards. Their most recent meeting was at a Los Angeles press event, which she described as \u201cpolite and calm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season 2 finale teases Calah\u2019s rollercoaster emotions toward Steven, but one thing is certain\u2014her time living on the McBee family farm in Missouri is firmly behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI truly made the farm my home and loved that lifestyle, but I don\u2019t miss the drama and pressures that came with it,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now back in Dallas, Calah is focusing on herself. She described this new chapter as the happiest she has been in years, crediting her move with helping her find peace and rebuild her identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for whether she\u2019d ever consider rekindling things with Steven, Calah was reflective: \u201cI don\u2019t regret the relationship or the lessons learned, but I\u2019m not sure what the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, she\u2019s prioritizing self-discovery and her mental health\u2014while Bravo viewers continue to watch the McBee family drama unfold every Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
