Galyna Saltkovska is sharing some major updates on her status with her ex-boyfriend and business partner, Steve McBee Sr., ahead of his release from prison. The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys cast member dated Steve Sr. for almost nine years before he started dating her former BFF, Masha Petrova, and Galyna still works with him today. But she is unsure of her future with Steve Sr. as he readies his new chapter post-prison.
Galyna spoke with Bravo Insider in August 2026, where she opened up about her and Steve Sr., who is currently serving out the remainder of his prison sentence before being released next month.
“I don’t know where I’m standing with him yet. He is about to come back from prison,” she admitted. While Galyna has visited him in prison since he began serving his sentence at FPC Yankton in Yankton, South Dakota, in December 2025, she admitted that she hasn’t seen him in a while.
“We’ve been in touch. But I haven’t seen him in a long time,” she continued. “So, it’s going to be interesting. I am kind of excited to see where we will be.”

Galyna also appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Aug. 10, where she admitted that Steve Sr. is excited to get back to work following his release from prison. “It’s definitely going to affect [the business],” she said. “He is crazy hungry to get back to business, obviously.”
“He was on vacation for the last nine months, so. It’s going to be interesting. I am unsure what to expect,” she added with a laugh.
Galyna Saltkovska opens up about almost running into Masha Petrova while visiting Steve McBee Sr.
Galyna was also visiting Steve McBee Sr. in prison at the same time when his girlfriend, Masha, went to visit him. Steve Sr.’s oldest son, Steven McBee Jr., opened up about this in a July interview with Bravo Insider, noting that the run-in almost ended up with “the both of them in prison.” But Galyna admitted to Bravo Insider that she (thankfully) had no idea this occurred.
“I was really confused about that,” she admitted. “They may have arranged something that I did not know. And I am grateful for it. They made it look seamless without me even knowing about all of that. But no, I was not aware of it. And I am grateful. If they had to do that, that was awesome.”
Galyna Saltkovska weighs in on Masha Petrova’s relationship with Steve McBee Sr.
While Galyna accused Masha of “stealing” her “life” on WWHL, she admitted to Bravo Insider that she is happy for her former friend of 15 years, who is still dating Steve Sr. amidst his prison sentence. “She’s in for a hell of a ride,” Galyna stated.
