Steven McBee Jr. said he is now single after breaking up with Allie Eklund, claiming he discovered evidence of alleged inappropriate behavior involving Eklund while at the Stagecoach Festival.
McBee said he left California a day early and that the next morning he received several DMs that raised “serious red flags.” He said the messages included the Instagram account of the man Eklund was allegedly with and that he heard the allegation from more than one source. McBee posted screenshots on his Instagram account after the messages arrived.
McBee said he and Eklund hard-launched their relationship in November and that as recently as yesterday they were talking about “how big of a year we were gonna have and the house we wanted to build together.” He told followers, “She’s a good person and I wish I wouldn’t have posted on social media.”
In several posts and comments McBee tried to explain his reaction. “I’m not good at holding my emotions in check at the moment. Especially waking up to that. But I was just so mind-blown waking up this morning,” he wrote, and later added, “I’m extremely Type A and get stressed, have mood swings. So in her defense, I’m not the easiest guy to be with, and I don’t want this to completely destroy her – but I am just absolutely mind blown that this happened.”
McBee said the only reason he went to Stagecoach was because he was “nervous about how attention-starved she is all the time.” That line, and his admission that he has strong mood swings, complicate the public account he offered — he framed his trip and his scrutiny of Eklund as rooted in personal anxiety rather than documentary proof.
That tension runs through the narrative McBee posted: he presented multiple messages and the Instagram handle of the man in question as the reason he ended the relationship, yet he also expressed regret for making parts of the situation public. He said, plainly, that he had been with Eklund the day before and that the breakup followed the DMs he received the next morning.
Context matters here: fans had been enthusiastic when McBee and Eklund went public with their relationship in November, particularly because McBee had come out of a tumultuous relationship with his ex, Calah Jackson. The source of McBee’s screenshots and the exact contents beyond his description have not been independently verified, and the account he posted is the basis for his conclusion.
Allie Eklund and Drew Dodson had not responded to requests for comment, the source reports. McBee’s Instagram posts remain the public record of his account: he said he was “just so mind-blown” and confirmed that after receiving the messages and reviewing what he was shown, he broke up with Eklund and is now single.
The central fact is straightforward and final in McBee’s telling: he left Stagecoach a day early, he woke to multiple DMs naming an account and describing conduct he found unacceptable, he posted screenshots, and he ended the relationship. Whether the allegations are true beyond McBee’s account is unresolved; what is no longer ambiguous is his status — he says he is single and that the relationship with Allie Eklund is over.
