Surprise! Cole McBee and Kacie Adkison got married on The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 3, Episode 8, and as it turns out, the new husband and wife kept their spur-of-the-moment Las Vegas wedding a secret from more than just the viewers.
In an exclusive interview with Bravo Insider, Cole and Kacie revealed new details about their nuptials and married life today, including how they went to great lengths in order to keep their wedding under wraps after filming The McBee Dynasty.
“We wanted to make sure it was a surprise,” Cole said, noting that he hadn’t even worn his wedding ring prior to the episode airing on Aug. 3. “You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to keep a surprise off social media. A lot of our friends don’t even know that we got married. They just think we’re engaged. I’m sure some of our best friends will text us like, ‘You guys got married?’ It’ll be great seeing that.”
Even despite the couple’s best efforts at keeping their marriage hush-hush, Cole, in particular, had some difficulties and accidentally referred to Kacie as his wife on more than one occasion. “He slips up all the time,” Kacie joked.
Cole McBee and Kacie Adkison detail plans for their “actual wedding”
Though some friends and family were present for their televised ceremony, which was officiated by an Elvis impersonator, Cole and Kacie still intend to throw a much bigger wedding in the future that even more of their loved ones can attend. Now that the secret is out, Kacie said, “We can start planning our actual wedding.”
As Cole pointed out, Kacie’s family wasn’t part of their Vegas nuptials, nor were his parents, Kristi McBee and Steve McBee Sr. “It was just spur of the moment, like, ‘Hey, my dad’s going to prison for the next two years, maybe let’s just get married,'” he said. “We knew we were probably gonna have another kid in the next year or so, so we should probably get married.”
After Steve Sr.’s release from prison, which is currently slated for September 11, 2026, Cole and Kacie said they are going to host a second ceremony behind their new home on the family farm in Gallatin, Mo.
Inside Cole McBee and Kacie Adkison’s relationship evolution
Cole and Kacie’s wedding marked only the latest milestone in their relationship which began when the two met through mutual friends in 2019. Throughout their run on The McBee Dynasty, viewers have watched the pair navigate ups and downs, culminating, most recently, with them becoming parents to 1-year-old daughter, Blair, followed by their engagement in November 2025. Cole and Kacie have also since announced that they’re expecting their second daughter on Aug. 11.
“The last two years, we have had so much change in our life, but for the better,” Cole remarked. “I think it’s really cool to get to watch that back on the show because we get to see ourselves grow and become better parents. We get to see our relationship grow. Obviously, in Season 1, we were just getting back together. We were on our longest break we’ve ever taken and coming back from that.”
He added, “There were the issues of me being an idiot still, me not ready to grow up, and things like that. We definitely have grown so much. And obviously, Blair and our next daughter are going to help out so much with that.”
Kacie, for her part, chimed in, “In the first two seasons, you watch me stick around with Cole, and I feel like some people are like, ‘Why does she stay with him?’ But the whole time, I knew the potential he had, and I knew that he would grow into the man like I knew he would be. And this season, I feel like you really get to see him grow up and become the person that I’ve waited around for. Good things come to those who wait, right?”
As for what’s kept their relationship going strong, Kacie credited “a lot of patience,” while Cole pointed to how “into each other” they are.
“We’ve had our fair share of problems, but we’ve gotten through them,” Cole said. “I don’t suggest having a kid if you’re going through a rocky situation, but for us, Blair was definitely the best thing to ever happen to us.”
