Ace Family YouTuber Catherine Paiz broke down in tears while addressing her ex-husband Austin McBroom's cheating scandals in a new interview. After six years of marriage and building a YouTube empire with over 18 million subscribers, Catherine, 34, and Austin, 33, who share three kids, announced their divorce in 2024. The influencer delved into their split during her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she spoke about the moment she discovered Austin was unfaithful while she was pregnant. At one point her voice cracked as she broke into tears telling host Alex Cooper, 'You never cheat on the person you love.' Seemingly speaking of the number of times Austin allegedly cheated, she quipped, 'I don't remember exactly the first, there were just so many' before saying she found out about 'twenty.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Catherine said she found out about his infidelity after discovering a text from another woman on his phone, while she was pregnant. 'I grabbed the phone. This long text comes through "If you really love your wife." I was like yelling, screaming, "Tell me please, please just tell me who that was. I feel so stupid, just tell me. I'm having a baby, please just tell me."' Catherine then adamantly denied Austin's claim that she had given him permission as long as he didn't 'embarrass' her, stating, 'I never, ever, ever said that.' 'I would never want my kids to think that is okay, to cheat on your husband or your wife.' Breaking into tears, she vowed, 'And I will make sure that I raise them, and that they know that they never, ever do that. Because that is so wrong. And you never cheat on the person you love.' At one point Catherine recalled feeling like she was being 'gaslighted.' She questioned, 'Is he telling the truth? Am I just being all in my head?' 'I was so afraid to say "I'm an idiot." I just didn't see it,' she added. Catherine also claimed: 'I never heard him say the words "I cheated" until about a week ago.' When Alex questioned, 'How many more did you find out about?' Catherine replied, 'There was 20 or something.' Catherine's full interview is set to air on Wednesday. Seemingly speaking of the number of times Austin cheated, she quipped, 'I don't remember exactly the first, there were just so many' before saying she found out about 'twenty'; Pictured in 2022 On May 11, Catherine announced her memoir Dolores: My Journey Home: Finding Myself Beyond the ACE Family. The book, which also touched on Austin's alleged infidelity, will be released on July 1st. McBroom didn't deny the infidelity accusations included in the book, but he asserted in a lengthy Snapchat video that Paiz was aware of his behavior throughout their marriage and that they stayed together for years despite it. Austin has previously been accused of cheating on Catherine multiple times. In 2021 he denied the claims, after YouTuber Tana Mongeau accused him of cheating on his then wife. At the time Austin called Tana a 'clout chaser.' The ACE Family, consisting of Austin, Catherine, and their three children — Elle, eight, Alaia, five, and Steel, four — rose to YouTube fame for their family vlogs. However, in January 2024, Catherine and Austin announced their divorce. In their statements, both Catherine and Austin affirmed they had 'mutually agreed' to the split and would co-parent their young children. In her statement Catherine wrote about feeling 'liberated' while Austin called the divorce the 'hardest decision of my life.' Catherine wrote that their 'paths as a couple have shifted and has created challenges that are irreconcilable.' 'As heartbreaking as this is, I also feel liberated,' she stated. 'I have spent the past few years prioritizing my children and honoring my commitment to my family; all the while I seemed to be losing myself and my own personal happiness.' Meanwhile Austin wrote, 'We created one of the greatest stories, almost a decade together, so many memories, so many accomplishments but every book comes to end.' 'And now we will be writing a new book as separate authors.' The last video on the former couple's channel was uploaded in June 2023. Catherine has since moved on with tattoo artist and painter Igor Ten.

YouTube star Catherine Paiz says ex Austin McBroom cheated with 20 women Show Caption Hide Caption It's been 20 years since Jawed Karim uploaded the first Youtube video On April 23, 2005, Jawed Karim uploaded the first-ever Youtube video. Trillions more followed. In January 2024, social media was abuzz with news of a huge breakup in the vlogger world. Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom, a married couple who were among YouTube's first family vloggers (to the tune of more than 18 million followers), announced their split at the start of the new year. At the time, they didn't specify why they chose to go their separate ways, but now, fans are finally hearing the reason behind their dramatic and very public divorce. During an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast on May 28, Paiz revealed McBroom's cheating contributed to their split. Paiz told host Alex Cooper that she found out about his infidelity after discovering a text from another woman on his phone while she was pregnant with their third child. "I grabbed the phone, this long text comes through, 'If you really love your wife,'" she said. "I was yelling, screaming, 'Tell me, please, please, just tell me who that was. I feel so stupid. Just tell me, I'm having a baby.'" She continued: "I never heard him say the words, 'I cheated' until about a week ago," which may be in reference to McBroom publicly admitting to cheating on May 12. Paiz found out about "20 or something" women McBroom had cheated with, saying her ex claimed she had given him a pass and told him "as long as ... you don't embarrass me." "I never, ever, ever said that," she said. "I would never say that. I would never want my kids to think that that is OK to cheat on your husband or your wife, and I will make sure that I raise them and that they know that they never, ever do that because that is so wrong. And you never cheat on the person you love. Paiz appeared on the podcast ahead of the July release of her book, "DOLORES: My Journey Home: (Finding Myself Beyond The ACE Family)." Here's what to know about the former YouTubers. Who is Catherine Paiz? Who is Austin McBroom? Catherine Paiz, 34, born Dolores Catherine Johnston Paiz , was born in Montreal, Canada, and moved to Los Angeles at 16. Her ex-husband, Austin McBroom, 33, is a content creator and former basketball player from Palmdale, California. The pair met at a dinner party in 2015, and after McBroom kept pursuing her, they eventually began dating. Paiz and McBroom got married privately in 2017 and didn't reveal their nuptials until January 2020, shortly after the couple announced their third pregnancy. The couple share three children: daughters Elle and Alaïa and a son named Steel. Looking back at the divorce: The ACE Family's Catherine and Austin announce divorce after 7 years. When did the Ace Family start on YouTube? The ACE Family started their YouTube channel a couple of months after their first daughter, Elle, was born in 2016. The couple's first video was posted on July 27, 2016. The name is derived from the first initial of each of their names – Austin, Catherine and Elle. The channel gave millions of viewers an inside look into their lives, from the births of all three of their children to the rise of their social media empire. The ACE Family's YouTube account still has over 18 million subscribers, despite not posting since June 2023. When did the ACE Family break up? Why did the ACE Family quit YouTube? Paiz and McBroom announced their divorce in January 2024, posting separate statements to their Instagram accounts. As of May 13, 2025, both posts have been removed. "Our paths as a couple have shifted and has created differences that are irreconcilable. This decision comes with a very heavy heart," Paiz wrote in her post on Jan. 11, 2024. "As heartbreaking as it is, I feel liberated. "I have spent the past few years prioritizing my children and honoring my commitment to my family; all the while I seemed to be losing myself and my own personal happiness." As for McBroom, he said, "We created one of the greatest stories, almost a decade together, so many memories, so many accomplishments but every book comes to an end. And now we will be writing a new book as separate authors." McBroom ended his post: "With that being said, 2024 will be life-changing for me. I will be dedicated to myself, my kids, my health, my body, my mind, my spirit, and God." The couple had never shared a reason behind the separation before now, simply stating they had "mutually agreed" to a divorce. Has Austin McBroom addressed the cheating allegations? Leaked pages from Paiz's book made waves on social media in early May, leading McBroom to post a nearly 30-minute story to his Snapchat on the night of May 12. He said he felt "blindsided" by the book's content and never wanted to discuss this in public. While he admitted to cheating, he told his followers that he was not portrayed fairly. He claimed Paiz was aware of his actions and that they had continued their relationship for several years afterward. Once the news of their divorce became public, he claimed he wanted to make a video admitting to the cheating, but Paiz told him not to do it. He added that he feels she's now monetizing their past for attention. When does Catherine Paiz's book come out? "DOLORES: My Journey Home: (Finding Myself Beyond The ACE Family)" is set to release on July 1. The book is co-written and published by USA TODAY bestselling author Riley J. Ford. "When her path led her to Los Angeles, she built a life that seemed like a fairytale: love, children, and a pioneering YouTube career that influenced millions. As part of The ACE Family, she became a familiar face around the globe. But behind the scenes, Catherine was carrying heartbreak, facing betrayal, navigating intense public scrutiny, and slowly losing herself," the book's description reads. It continued: "When everything she built began to unravel, she set out on the most important journey of all—alchemizing her pain into strength, transforming her life, and finding her way back to the woman she was always destined to be. This is the true story of a life that looked perfect, and the brave heart who stepped beyond the picture to find something real."
