Did Steven McBee Jr. basically curse his own relationship before it even ended? Because honey, the receipts are THERE and they’re absolutely scorching.
On the latest episode of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, the 33-year-old cowboy got all doom-and-gloom in a confessional, declaring that long-distance relationships are literally “the kiss of death.” Sweetie, way to manifest your own breakup! The episode aired on Monday, August 10—which was conveniently AFTER his April split from girlfriend Allie Eklund became public. Talk about foreshadowing worthy of a telenovela.
Now, we’re not saying Steven single-handedly sabotaged his own romance with negative vibes and pessimistic commentary, but… actually, maybe we ARE saying that? Because if you go on national television and tell millions of viewers that your exact relationship situation is basically doomed, the universe tends to listen. It’s called manifesting, darling, and Steven apparently mastered the dark arts of it.
The McBee Dynasty star didn’t just throw out some casual “long distance is tough” observation either. No ma’am—he went FULL prophecy mode, treating the geographic distance between him and Allie like it was written in the stars that they’d crash and burn. And wouldn’t you know it, crash and burn they did! April rolled around and their romance was history faster than you can say “I told you so.”
Sources close to the couple have been spilling that the distance was indeed a major factor in their split, making Steven’s “kiss of death” comment feel less like speculation and more like he was reading directly from their breakup script. The man literally diagnosed the problem, went on TV about it, and then watched it happen. If that’s not peak self-fulfilling prophecy energy, we don’t know what is.
Fans of the reality show are having an absolute FIELD DAY with this revelation. Twitter is ablaze with commentary about whether Steven was trying to prepare everyone for the inevitable or if he was just being a Negative Nancy about their relationship prospects from jump. Either way, it’s messy, it’s juicy, and we are absolutely living for the drama.
The question everyone’s asking is: Did Steven jinx himself with his pessimistic comments, or was he simply calling it like he saw it? Either way, the man predicted his own breakup on national television and then had to watch it come true. That’s the kind of awkward energy we’re here for.
What do you think? A) Steven manifested his own breakup with negative energy B) He was just being realistic about long-distance challenges
