Catherine Paiz, widely recognized as one half of the ACE Family duo, has finally opened up about the deeply personal and painful cheating scandal involving her ex-husband Austin McBroom. In a heartfelt and revealing interview on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast, Paiz shared her side of the story for the first time in detail, breaking her silence after years of speculation and public scrutiny.
The couple, who had a high-profile marriage since 2017 and share three children Elle, 8, Alaïa, 6, and Steel, 4 had long been a favorite among fans of family vlogging on YouTube. However, rumors about McBroom’s infidelity began circulating behind the scenes, putting enormous strain on their relationship and eventually leading to their separation. The public fallout from these revelations was dramatic, as both their personal and professional lives were intertwined and broadcast to millions.
During the interview, Paiz recounted her shock and heartbreak as she slowly came to terms with the betrayal. She revealed how, during a business trip to Miami, she overheard suspicious voices of women in the background while McBroom was on phone calls a discovery that planted the seeds of doubt. Additionally, she described the painful moment when she glimpsed an incriminating text message on his phone, a moment she described as shattering but one she initially chose to ignore out of hope and trust.
Despite mounting evidence and public rumors, Paiz said she continued to believe in her husband and their marriage, hoping to preserve the family unit for the sake of their children and their shared history. She emphasized the challenge of maintaining a positive family image on social media, while privately dealing with growing feelings of betrayal and mistrust.
Austin McBroom later publicly admitted to cheating in a Snapchat video, taking full responsibility for his actions. He claimed that Paiz was aware of his unhappiness in the marriage and had indirectly accepted his behavior, a statement Paiz strongly disputed. In the interview, she emotionally denied ever condoning or accepting his infidelity, firmly stating that she never told him “just don’t make me look dumb,” a phrase McBroom referenced in his admission.
Paiz’s interview coincides with the release of her memoir Dolores My Journey Home, in which she delves deeper into her experiences, emotions, and the impact of the betrayal on her life and family. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can inspire others facing similar challenges to find strength and resilience amid adversity.
The interview sheds light on the difficulties public figures face when private struggles become public spectacle, especially in the age of social media where every detail can be dissected by millions. Paiz’s openness offers a raw and honest glimpse into the complexities of trust, forgiveness, and healing after betrayal.
As fans and followers digest the revelations, many have expressed support for Catherine Paiz, applauding her courage in addressing the issue head-on and focusing on rebuilding her life and family for the future.
