‘My husband cheated on me with 20 women, said don't react': Ace Family's Catherine Paiz breaks down over Austin McBroom's cheating
YouTuber Catherine Paiz, who rose to fame with the infamous ACE Family vlogs alongside her ex-husband and former partner, Austin McBroom, opened up about some of the most talked-about topics from her married life during a recent interview with Alex Cooper. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Paiz told Cooper how she was haunted for years, living in disbelief as the internet quickly jumped on Austin's relationships with different women. At the time, she and Austin were always together, working, raising their kids, and building a business, so she brushed off the rumours, thinking, 'That can't be true.' She debuted her new relationship on Instagram in 2024 after ending her seven-year marriage to Austin, which broke down due to his infidelity.
Catherine and Austin secretly tied the knot in 2017 but only made it public in 2020 after announcing their third pregnancy. The ex-couple share three kids together, Alaïa, Ellea, and Steel, and were together for almost seven years before quietly calling it quits in 2024. During the podcast, Cooper pressed Catherine on the rumours that circulated on the internet for years and asked if she could remember any specific moment when everything changed. Paiz revealed there wasn't just one moment, but several.

She also shared how Austin would always shut her down whenever she thought about bringing things up, saying, 'It's just part of the territory. Don't react, it'll just make it worse. It's not true.' She believed him because she trusted him. But over time, things didn't sit right, and the excuses started sounding vague. 'There were moments I didn't know what to believe. Some things were true, some were distorted, some were not true — so it was really hard to tell,' she said.
Recalling one such incident that stuck with her forever, Catherine said it happened right after they had their second daughter, who was just 6 months old. At the time, Austin said he had to fly to Miami for a business trip, and Catherine encouraged him to chase his dreams while she stayed back, taking care of the kids, all while being exhausted from daily shoots, breastfeeding, and everything else. Catherine described how the two would talk on the phone, but she remembered hearing multiple women's voices in the background. She ignored it at the time, thinking there were no red flags. Then, months later, a male makeup artist posted a video on YouTube spilling tea about what Austin had been up to in Miami. 'A couple months go by and this blonde male makeup artist makes this video on YouTube talking about my husband and how he was in Miami and there was this group of people and there was all these girls and there was this boat,' she added. Catherine never watched the video herself, but her friends did and filled her in.

But the cheating saga didn't stop there. When Catherine was pregnant with their third kid, the couple were live on YouTube filming some content related to their daughter, and at the time, a mysterious text popped up on his phone with a message that read, 'If you really loved your wife, you wouldn't be—' Though she recalled not being able to read the full message, she said something felt off and chose not to speak to Austin for a few days, until he admitted that he had been texting other women and came clean. But it wasn't until years later, when Catherine released the first chapter of her book, Dolores, My Journey Home, in May 2025, that she heard Autin saying, 'I cheated.' Catherine also said that although she knows for sure of three women, there are rumours that Austin told people it was around 20. She doesn't know the full truth, but says she remembers how painful it was to live through it.
On May 13, just days before her Call Her Daddy episode dropped, Austin posted a 31-minute Snapchat video where he confessed: 'I 100% stepped out of my marriage.' He said it was wrong, that he takes full responsibility while wishing to turn time back but, then he added that Ctaherine supposedly knew what was going on the whole time and even told him: 'Just don't make me look dumb. Don't embarrass me.' Dismising the same on the podcast, the YouTuber said, 'I never said that. I would never be okay with cheating.'

Train Your Core Like Malaika Arora: Quick Lower Abs Workout Explained
Last Updated: Malaika Arora stays dedicated to fitness and recently shared a lower abs workout, encouraging fans to train their core with leg lifts. Malaika Arora stands out as a celebrity who truly practices what she preaches—maintaining a consistent fitness routine without fail. She frequently offers her followers a peek into her workout sessions, motivating them to prioritise their health and embrace an active lifestyle. Whether it's an early morning workout or an intense gym day, Malaika remains dedicated and never misses a session. Recently, Malaika shared an Instagram post featuring a workout specifically designed to sculpt the lower abs quickly. She captioned it, 'Your core is your power center—train it like it matters," and recommended performing two sets of thirty leg lifts each. Place your palms facing down, tucking your hands just beneath your glutes to create a small support or 'shelf" that eases the leg raise. Press your lower back firmly into the floor or mat throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Arching your back can cause strain. Keep your chin slightly tucked and lower your legs slowly toward the floor, ideally stopping a few inches above it. You may keep your neck neutral (looking up) if more comfortable, but tucking your chin helps maintain spinal alignment. Lower your legs only as far as you can without letting your lower back lift off the floor. If you can't raise your legs back up after lowering them, lift them less next time. Engage your core as you lift your legs back up to the starting position. Breathe naturally—inhale while lowering, exhale while lifting—or find a rhythm that suits you, but avoid holding your breath. Benefits of Leg Raises Helps reduce fat around the lower abdomen and legs Strengthens and tones muscles in the abdomen and legs Targets and sculpts the lower abdominal muscles effectively Engages hamstrings, calf muscles and glutes for overall leg strength Can be performed comfortably even while lying down in bed Enhances focus and mental concentration Malaika's workout is a simple yet powerful move that anyone can incorporate into their fitness routine to build a strong core and toned lower body.

Video: Woman Books Ola Bike Ride For 180 Metres, Reason Leaves Internet Amused
In a bizarre incident that's gone viral, a woman booked an Ola Bike ride for a mere 180 metres- just to avoid a pack of street dogs. The short video was recorded and shared on Instagram by the bike rider himself. In the clip, the driver arrives at the pickup point and asks the woman for the one-time password (OTP). After entering it, he glances at the map and notices that her drop location is just 180 metres away. Puzzled, he asks the woman whether she has selected the right drop location since it was just a short distance away. The woman confirms she booked the ride and that the distance is accurate. The Ola driver then asks the passenger why she opted for such a short ride. To this, the woman explains that she is scared of the street dogs in the area and didn't want to risk walking past them. The rider, amused but professional, drops the woman at her destination and ends the trip. At the end of the video, the app shows that the customer had to pay only Rs 19. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ROHIT VLOGSTER (@rohitvlogster) Since being shared, the video has gone viral, garnering 7 million views and over 197,000 likes. Instagram users flooded the comments section with various reactions. While some responded with laughing emojis, others thanked the driver for helping the woman feel safe. "Thank you brother for helping a girl feel safe," wrote one user. "It is better to give 19 rupees than to get injected," commented another. "She is Right,, 19 rs its not big deal,, if dog bite, it will cost injury / pain/ time/ 1900," wrote a third user. Some users also joked with the meme term "Techologia", a humorous twist on the word for technology, while others pointed out the absence of any dog visible in the video. "Ek bhi dog toh dikha nahi (Not a single dog was seen?)", asked one user.
