Galyna Saltkovska Shows Support for Steve McBee Sr. Before Prison Term

In a heartfelt display of solidarity, Galyna Saltkovska of the McBee Dynasty recently shared an encouraging video message for Steve McBee Sr. as he prepared to begin his prison sentence. Standing at the original McBee’s Coffee n Carwash location in Liberty, Missouri—where they first broke ground in 2019—the 48-year-old Saltkovska offered words of support and reassurance. “I just want to let you know I’m sending you good vibes and good luck. I know you got it. And we got it here as you can see,” she expressed in her Instagram post on December 1. The video showed a snow-covered business site with cars nearby, suggesting ongoing operations despite challenging circumstances. Saltkovska’s message conveyed not just emotional support but also practical reassurance that their business ventures would continue in his absence, noting, “We will see you back here before you know it.”

The touching message prompted a response from Steve’s son, Steven McBee Jr., who emphasized the family’s determination to persevere during this difficult period. “We will get these businesses cranking and things moving in the right direction! A lot of tough days ahead, but we’ve got it,” he commented, reflecting the family’s resilient spirit. This exchange comes as Steve McBee Sr., 52, begins serving a 24-month sentence after pleading guilty to federal crop insurance fraud. The Bravo star’s legal troubles resulted in a significant penalty beyond jail time, including two years of supervised release and restitution payments totaling over $4 million. Despite these severe consequences, the McBee family has maintained a remarkably optimistic outlook, focusing on supporting each other and keeping their various business enterprises afloat during the patriarch’s absence.

In the days leading up to his incarceration, Steve demonstrated an admirable commitment to maintaining family traditions and creating positive memories. “I always cook very large meals for everybody, so everybody’s coming to my house, even my brothers and sister and extended family,” he shared in a recent interview, describing plans to prepare an elaborate feast including smoked prime rib and turkey. His approach to the situation revealed a determination to shield his loved ones from unnecessary sadness: “I don’t want anybody to be sad. I want everyone to be upbeat. Everything’s going to be good.” Steve even framed his prison term with characteristic optimism, noting that after years of missing family vacations due to work commitments, he was “finally getting a sabbatical.” This positive reframing of a challenging situation appears to have influenced his family’s approach to the circumstances, creating a unified front of strength and resilience.

The McBee family’s unity in the face of adversity was further displayed at BravoCon 2025, where several of Steve’s children spoke about the situation. Cole McBee, 33, shared with Us Weekly, “We’ve been trying to spend as much time as we can with him before he leaves, but we’re gonna work through this together. It’s a tough position in our life, but we’re going to get through anything.” This sentiment echoes throughout the family’s public statements—an unwavering confidence that while the coming months would be difficult, they possess the collective strength to overcome the challenges. The family’s approach reflects their deep bonds and commitment to supporting one another, values that have resonated with viewers of their reality show and likely contributed to its continued success despite their personal tribulations.

The McBees’ story has captivated audiences through Bravo’s “McBee Dynasty,” a reality series chronicling the family’s efforts to save their farm and cattle ranch from financial difficulties. The show’s recent renewal for a third season demonstrates its popularity and the audience’s investment in the McBees’ journey. While it remains unclear how much of Steve’s prison sentence will feature in upcoming episodes, the family’s handling of this crisis may provide compelling television that goes beyond typical reality show fare. The authentic challenges they face and their genuine efforts to overcome them offer viewers a more substantive narrative than manufactured drama. Cole McBee’s description of his father provides insight into the family’s source of strength: “He’s one of the most optimistic, positive people you’ve ever met. I think that’s kept us sane going through all this.”

As the McBee family navigates this challenging chapter, Steve’s parting message to his children reveals much about his character and priorities. According to Cole, Steve consistently reassures them: “Hey, you guys are gonna get through this no matter what happens. We’re going to work through it… I’m going to be OK. It’s up to you guys.” This transfer of responsibility demonstrates trust in his children’s capabilities and a focus on their wellbeing rather than his own difficulties. The McBees’ story represents more than just another reality TV drama—it showcases a family confronting genuine adversity with dignity, mutual support, and remarkable optimism. Their journey reminds viewers that even in difficult circumstances, the strength found in family bonds can provide the resilience needed to face uncertain futures. As Steve begins his sentence and the family adapts to his absence, their continued unity and determination will likely remain at the heart of both their personal journey and their public narrative on “McBee Dynasty.”
