Austin & Catherine McBroom Announce Separation

YouTubers Austin and Catherine McBroom, known for their 'The ACE Family' YouTube channel, have revealed they are separating after almost seven years of marriage. 

"As I start my new year, I will challenge myself in ways that I have never done before," Catherine said. "2024 will be my year of transformative change and with this taking place, one of the steps in my journey is the difficult decision to leave my marriage."

"As heartbreaking as this is, I also 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."

The two started their YouTube channel in 2016, gaining over 18 million subscribers, sharing videos of challenges, pranks, and family vlogs, which featured their three children, Elle (7), Alaia (5), and Steel (3). 

Austin shared his own message relating to the separation from his wife.

"We have mutually agreed to a divorce but will remain a team when it comes to our kids. 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."

"This transition is not easy but we both are making it as easy as it can be for our family. We will continue to be the best parents to our kids. Separations are difficult and most times messy but you will see how we push through these difficult times as a unit and keep influencing with love and positivity."
