After Steven mentioned hearing feline noises, Allie documented their search in a video, telling fans, &#8220;If we actually find one in the barn, then we now have a cat. Come with us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their search was a success. The couple discovered a remarkably friendly, light-eyed cat who instantly warmed up to them. After being fed, the feline proved its immediate loyalty by tailing Steven around the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-645.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20604\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-645.png 676w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-645-300x266.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verdict? &#8220;I think we have a cat now, babe,&#8221; Allie happily declared in the clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how the new addition is settling in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Name: Taking to the comments, Allie revealed the stray has been officially named &#8220;Tommy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1280\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 720 \/ 1280;\" width=\"720\" controls src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SaveVid.to_AQOnyoak1Lh9dhbNQrb8u3W_MamlIK_LwoXFlu5zAbf4VL1zB2vhOV_qowWdHQtdDuXIg4WRJr0D1rmyczfX_xYEPTFJn9uRN2nu1u0.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Inspiration: On his own Instagram Story, Steven shared that the name is a nod to Tommy Shelby from the hit show Peaky Blinders. Despite admitting he&#8217;s &#8220;never been a cat person,&#8221; Steven joked that Tommy is a &#8220;bad mf&#8217;er&#8221; who will proudly watch over their barn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Reception: The official McBee Farm Instagram warmly welcomed Tommy, while Kacie Adkison chimed in noting that &#8220;Blair&#8217;s going to be pumped.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-647.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20607\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-647.png 566w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-647-300x253.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t Allie&#8217;s first time uncovering hidden gems on the property; she also recently gave her followers a virtual tour of an &#8220;abandoned&#8221; house located right on the farm grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Birkins to Barn Animals<br>Tommy the cat isn&#8217;t the only newcomer to the McBee property. Back in March, Steven surprised Allie with an incredible birthday gift: a beautiful horse named AJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharing the big reveal on his Instagram Story, Steven posted a video holding the horse with the message, &#8220;This is your new horse, AJ. I guess he&#8217;ll be meeting you soon. Congratulations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"862\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-648.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-648.png 862w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-648-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-648-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He humorously captioned the post, &#8220;Might not be a Birkin, but I think this is a close second for a gift. We&#8217;ve got some riding to do!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Peaceful Romance<br>Beyond the growing animal menagerie, Steven and Allie&#8217;s relationship appears to be thriving. During BravoCon 2025, Steven caught up with The Daily Dish to share how much he is enjoying their romance since they first went Instagram official last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Things have been great,&#8221; Steven shared. &#8220;It has been such a good experience dating someone that brings so much peace to my life and is integrated with my family so well. So it&#8217;s been really, really fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The McBee family farm just got a little more crowded!
