Ace Family's Catherine Paiz details Austin McBroom cheating scandal on podcast
Catherine Paiz is breaking her silence on what really ended her marriage to Austin McBroom. In a new Call Her Daddy podcast interview, the former ACE Family star revealed the truth behind their 2024 divorce — and confirmed years of cheating rumors. The couple, once beloved for their family vlogs on YouTube, built a fanbase of over 18 million subscribers by sharing daily life with their three kids: Elle, Alaïa, and Steel. But in January 2024, they quietly announced their split. Now, Paiz has revealed McBroom cheated with at least three women she knows about — and possibly up to 20. McBroom addressed his infidelity on Snapchat earlier this year, claiming Paiz was okay with it as long as he didn't embarrass her — a claim she strongly denied. 'I would never say that,' Paiz told host Alex Cooper. 'You never cheat on the person you love.' Their once-idyllic family life began to unravel in 2021 following financial and legal controversies, including the foreclosure of their $10 million home. The couple stopped posting to their ACE Family YouTube channel in 2023. Despite the split, the two remain committed co-parents and live minutes apart for the sake of their children. Paiz has since gone public with her new boyfriend, Igor Ten, while McBroom says he'll keep his relationships off social media. Paiz's memoir Dolores: My Journey Home, released in May 2025, explores her healing journey after years of betrayal. Though the ACE Family era is over, both stars are now focused on personal growth and raising their children peacefully.

YouTube star Catherine Paiz says ex Austin McBroom cheated with 20 women
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."

YouTuber Catherine Paiz reveals why Austin McBroom's cheated on her in new memoir about life behind The ACE Family
Catherine Paiz is not holding back anymore. After years of silence, speculation, and social media scrutiny, the former YouTube matriarch of The ACE Family is peeling back the curtain in a memoir that is already shaking the influencer world. In her newly released book, Paiz dives deep into the emotional rollercoaster that was her relationship with Austin McBroom, and yes, she finally confirms the rumours: he cheated. Who are Catherine and Austin and why were they famous? For years, Catherine and Austin played the role of internet royalty, painting a picture-perfect life for millions of subscribers. But behind the vlogs, Instagram filters, and brand deals, Paiz reveals she was living through a painful reality. In one of the most heart-wrenching chapters, she describes the moment she learned of McBroom's unfaithfulness. According to Paiz, it was not just about the act itself, it was about everything she had built her life around suddenly collapsing. Catherine Paiz spills tea on her relationship with Austin McBroom: 'He cheated…' She reportedly wrote that the moment of discovery was not just betrayal, but 'the realisation that everything she had believed in, loved, and trusted was never what it seemed.'

The memoir, which tackles themes of identity, trust, and reclaiming one's voice, is more than just a tell-all. It is a powerful reclaiming of narrative.

Earlier this year, Catherine and Austin publicly announced their divorce, ending their almost ten-year relationship. The statement, released on Instagram, cited irreconcilable differences but emphasised their commitment to co-parenting their children. Fans were stunned, but for Paiz, this memoir makes it clear that this ending was long overdue. catherine confirmed that austin cheated on herhonestly how can you have a girl like catherine and cheat on her men are so stupid Catherine Paiz opens up about the moment she realized Austin McBroom had been cheating in her new book 'It wasn't just the betrayal.

As support floods in for her vulnerability and strength, The ACE Family brand faces renewed scrutiny. One thing is certain, Catherine Paiz is no longer the quiet half of a YouTube power couple. She is a woman who has found her voice and is finally telling her truth, no edits, no filters.

Illegal migrant boasts of 'enjoying child porn while drunk' as Trump's unrelenting crackdown continues
An illegal migrant has been busted in Florida after admitting he 'enjoyed' watching child porn while drunk. The smirking pervert is facing two dozen counts of possession of child pornography after investigators allegedly found a trove of vile images on his WhatsApp account. Marlon Jefferson Fajardo Paiz, 32, told investigators he 'enjoyed' the child sex abuse material 'because he was intoxicated,' the Marion County Sheriff's Office said. Paiz was detained and held on a $200,000 bond after being found at an Ocala address with the sickening images. He was seen smirking in his mugshot as the sheriff's office announced his arrest. According to the sheriff's office, Paiz was caught after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) flagged the horrifying messages he had sent and received. The NCMEC pointed investigators to Paiz's profile, and a search of his phone led to the discovery of 20 files of 'prepubescent females engaging in sexual acts,' the sheriff's office said. Under questioning, deputies claimed that Paiz told them he 'enjoyed the CSAM (child sexual abuse material) because he was intoxicated,' a statement from the sheriff's office said. Detectives then learned from the Department of Homeland Security that Paiz had been deported from the U.S. some time in the past, and it is unknown how or when he re-entered the country. Due to the nature of his alleged crimes, investigators urged the public to come forward as they said it is 'possible that he may have victimized a child.' Anyone with information is asked to contact Marion County Sheriff's Office (MSCO) Major Crimes Detective Henrik Osthed at (352) 351-4710. The arrest came as law enforcement across the country have stepped up their efforts targeting illegal migrants in the months since President Trump re-entered the White House. Trump's immigration crackdown quickly targeted illegal migrants known to have rap sheets, revealing a huge number of known gang members and predators were free on America's streets. In shocking documents shared with White House insiders highlighted how ICE squads picked up individuals including a Dominican Republican national who was living free in Boston despite a criminal conviction for second-degree murder. More than 2,000 people were detained in Trump's first two weeks, including a man who was picked up in San Antonio, Texas, after being identified as an active member of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. He was found with a handgun related to an unsolved murder from November 2024. As Trump crossed his first 100 days this week, a Homeland Security official told that the number of illegal immigrants removed under the new administration stands at 65,682. An official said that the huge tally of deported illegal immigrants includes 498 with murder charges and 1,329 who were tied to sex offenses. Over five per cent of the detained individuals have criminal charges or convictions, the official said, with 2,288 suspected of having gang affiliations. In an issue that often slips under the radar when looking at America's immigration crisis, thousands of those who have been removed were deemed to be scamming the federal government in benefit schemes. More than 7,100 illegal migrants have been alleged to have participated in benefit fraud schemes, such as marriage fraud. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser said that Trump is putting a stop to 'disastrous Biden-era "humanitarian" policies that invited fraud and allowed criminal aliens to legally live and work in our communities.' He told that USCIS facilitated arrests of 'criminals attempting to gain immigration benefits' and is ensuring that every migrant is being registered in the U.S. 'Aliens, immigration attorneys and non-government organizations take note: the days of exploiting our immigration system are over. Aliens who want to live and work in America need to do it legally or get out.' A new Daily Mail/JL Partners poll found that despite immigration successes, Trump is seeing a drop in his approval rating for the first time. When asked to pick his biggest mistake, voters overwhelmingly said 'tariffs,' while the 'border' was seen as the greatest success. In the poll of 1,006 registered voters conducted between April 23 and April 28, and covering a wide range of topics, disapproval of Trump stood at 55 per cent. The nine-point slip in his approval appears largely due the administration's tariffs and the ensuing reversal on those economic threats. 'Our last poll shocked DC as it showed Trump at his most popular ever after his tariffs announcement. But now, for the first time, we can say the Trump honeymoon period is over,' JL Partners pollster James Johnson told DailyMailcom.
