Allie Eklund is opening up about the way her hopes for the future made her realize she needed to leave her relationship with The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys star Steven McBee Jr. in the past.
“When I think about my future kids, that is what keeps me going,” Eklund exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, July 10, while promoting her personal business venture, Triple E Mercantile, a collection of goods inspired by her family’s private Texas Hill country ranch, home to more than 100 animals.
“There’s nothing I miss about that relationship or look back and want again, or in the future that we had planned, because I refuse to put my kids through some of the experiences that I was experiencing behind closed doors, and that’s what — that’s the only reason why I’m able to say no,” she continued. “There were things that I was putting up with myself privately that I chose to protect him on.”
She reality TV star added, “But when I, after this has been brought to light, and I’m watching this play back and remembering, you know, some of the bad that did outweigh the good — in no world would I want my kids to experience some of the things that I did.”

Allie Eklund Getty ImagesWhile discussing her breakup, Eklund told Us that she finds it all very “interesting,” considering it was her ex-boyfriend’s “choice to bring this to the internet,” referring to his public infidelity accusations.
“If it would have been up to me, I would have protected him. And I did choose to protect him in multiple scenarios throughout our relationship, where I had found text messages and gotten messages and phone calls, and things were said to me,” she continued. “You know, he had said things to me and treated me a certain way, and I continued to protect him. So when he chose to bring this last fight to the internet … the vulnerability that came from that experience has ended up leading me to [a] connection with women around the world that I couldn’t have imagined.”

Eklund explained to Us that thanks to fans sharing their “similar experiences” and telling her that by detailing her personal story she has “given them strength in this scenario to move forward and get out of relationships where they were being treated that way,” she has found purpose in her pain.
“There’s only so much that we can do, and we can love someone from afar,” she explained. “But when it continues to happen over and over again, it’s a pattern. And I would encourage women to walk away from similar behavior. And I have, which has been crazy — that people have communicated that this has impacted them in that way, I never could have imagined that, and for that, I’m thankful for the experience.”
