Catherine Paiz & Austin McBroom Didn't Have Sex for Years Before Split
Originally appeared on E! Online
Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom were struggling in more than one aspect.
As the YouTubers—who shared the ACE Family channel—navigate life after filing for divorce last January following seven years of marriage, Catherine shared that they hadn't been sexually intimate for years towards the end of their relationship due to his infidelity.
"It was actually more like five years of not being intimate with him," Catherine told Alex Cooper on the May 28 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast. Sex and intimacy are very, very sacred to me. hen I found out there was cheating, I checked out. said, 'My body is a temple and I refuse to allow anybody to come near my temple if he cannot be honest and truthful and loyal.'"
The 34-year-old—who shares kids Elle, 9, Alaia, 6, and Steel, 4, with Austin—noted that she had learned he had been cheating on her while she was three months pregnant with their youngest.
"I was going through a lot postpartum," she recalled. Your body changes, breastfeeding and you're taking care of multiple children."
She added, "I found out he was cheating on me and that was it."

Catherine alleged that Austin, 33, didn't pursue her sexually, either, which was how she said she knew "there was cheating going on."
"Now, I know how that's not normal," she explained regarding their lack of intimacy. "At the time, I thought we were going through a lot. There were a lot of bad things happening around us. We have children, we're overworking, we're tired, we're stressed. We're anxious."
E! News has reached out to reps for Austin for comment and has not yet heard back.
Although Catherine pointed to Austin's infidelity—which he admitted to in his Snapchat Stories May 12—as the reason for their relationship's demise, she admitted that she didn't handle challenges in their marriage well, either.
"I'm a huge part of this problem," she said. "I take full accountability for being in a relationship with someone and also not pursuing intimacy. Although I was disgusted and I didn't want to be intimate, I didn't have these very serious conversations like, 'Hey, maybe we should go see a therapist, maybe we should do couples therapy.'"
"This wasn't normal, going another year without being physically intimate," the influencer continued. "It is such an important part of a marriage and a relationship."
Austin claimed in his Snapchat posts that not only did Catherine know about his extramarital affairs, but she condoned his decision. However, she vehemently denied the accusation.
"One thing he said that really just was a punch to the gut was, 'Yes, I cheated and she was OK with it as long as I said you don't embarrass me,'" she told Alex. "That is not true. I never ever said that. I would never say that. I would never want my kids to think that it's OK to cheat on your husband or your wife."

Fox News beats ABC, NBC, CBS during weekday primetime while CNN has lowest-rated week of year
Fox News Channel beat all broadcast networks in a key metric last week as CNN had its lowest-rated week of the year. Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during primetime on weekdays from May 26-30, compared to 2.4 million for NBC, 2.4 million for CBS and 2.3 million for ABC. While Fox News prevailed against the trio of broadcast networks, it also obliterated CNN. Fox News averaged 1.5 million total day viewers from May 26 through June 1, compared to a dismal 308,000 for CNN. During primetime, Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers while CNN settled for only 374,000. It was much of the same among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as Fox News delivered 175,000 total day demo viewers and 240,000 during primetime, compared to 49,000 total day and 61,000 primetime demo viewers for CNN. CNN finished with its worst week of the year across both primetime and total day as Fox News had its highest cable news share since inauguration week. Along the way, the top 100 cable news telecasts for the week all aired on Fox News. "The Five" averaged 3.7 million total viewers and 409,000 in the critical demo to lead cable news in both categories. "Special Report with Bret Baier," "The Ingraham Angle," "Jesse Watters Primetime," "Hannity," "FOX News @ Night," "Gutfeld!," "Outnumbered," "The Will Cain Show," "America's Newsroom," "America Reports" and Harris Faulkner's "The Faulkner Focus" all had strong weeks, too, to help Fox News crush CNN.

Allina Health doctors, PAs hold first-ever union picket, ask for better work-life balance in new contract
Six hundred Allina doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners who work in primary care are asking for a new contract with more work-life balance. They gathered in the pouring rain Tuesday morning for a first-of-its-kind protest. "We are here together as a result of many years of fighting, fighting for primary care and fighting to make things better," workers chanted. While nurses have walked the picket line for years, these picketers are doctors, PA's and nurse practitioners who are admittedly higher compensated. "We all get paid really well, its not about that. It's about having better support for our patients and support in our community and that we want a fair treatment in our contract and protections for everybody," said Dr. Chris Filetti, a pediatrician with Allina Health. WCCO The workers are asking for paid sick leave, instead of having to use vacation time. They're also asking for four hours a week to finish paperwork, instead of doing it in their off time. Additionally, they're asking for more medical assistants and nurses for support. "As a provider I hear story after story about providers who have to cut back from practice because of poor work-life balance," said Filetti. Allina's leaders say they are listening despite the unsettled contract, telling WCCO in a statement: "We continue to negotiate in good faith to reach responsible agreements that maintain competitive pay and benefits for our providers while ensuring that we can sustain our caring mission during these extremely uncertain economic times. It is important to get it right. We remain committed to reaching fair agreements that ensure we can maintain access to the high-quality care people depend on."

Child hurt in car crash at Illinois after-school camp dies, raising death toll to 5
CHATHAM, Ill. (AP) — An 8-year-old injured when a car barreled through a building used for a popular after-school camp in Illinois this spring has died. Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon posted a news release on his office's Facebook page Tuesday announcing Bradley Lund of Springfield was pronounced dead at 5:52 a.m. Monday. The death toll from the April 28 crash in Chatham now stands at five people, including 8-year-old Ainsley Johnson; 7-year-olds Kathryn Corely and Alma Buhnerkempe, all of Chatham; and 18-year-old Rylee Britton of Springfield. According to state police, a car left a road, crossed a field and smashed into a building that the group Youth Needing Other Things Outdoors was using for the camp. The vehicle traveled through the building and exited the other side. The 44-year-old driver was not hurt. Authorities have said she may have suffered a health emergency but it remains unclear whether she's been arrested, has been taken into custody or has been charged. Asked for an update, Trooper Shafer McKune of the Illinois State Police's public information office emailed a copy of the coroner's news release to The Associated Press along with a one-sentence statement saying that Sangamon County prosecutors will provide an update when they finish a 'thorough review of the investigation.' He did not say when that review would be completed. Chatham is a community of about 15,000 people outside Springfield, the state capital.
