After nearly two years since her highly public divorce from YouTube star Austin McBroom, Catherine Paiz has embraced a bold new chapter in her life. On September 1, the 35-year-old content creator of the famed ACE Family YouTube channel shared the news of her engagement to Brazilian-born tattoo artist and painter Igor Ten. The pair will be tying the knot this month, marking a deeply personal milestone for both.

Paiz chose Labor Day to reveal her upcoming nuptials, posting a series of sun-bathed engagement photos and close-ups of a sparkling diamond ring. Her caption read, “So glad I turned the page… September is the month I walk down the aisle to spend forever with you.” The emotional moment was equally captured in a snap of a book page inscribed “September,” signaling the season of her new beginning.

But the journey to this announcement actually began on Valentine’s Day 2025, when Igor Ten orchestrated a romantic proposal. In a heartfelt post, Ten reflected on the proposal as one of his most unforgettable moments. He celebrated the relationship’s growth and the way love expanded to include Paiz’s three children Elle, Alaïa, and Steel. “The love I feel for her has multiplied and gracefully extended to three extraordinary kids,” he wrote. “I never imagined I could feel a love so pure, so profound… a love that reshapes me every day.”

Their romance first became public in November 2024, though it remained largely under the radar. Paiz posted a poolside photo of the two and simply captioned it, “My love...,” leaving fans to speculate and wait for more details.

The announcement comes on the heels of Paiz finalizing her divorce in early 2024, which had been preceded by candid revelations of marital strain and infidelity. Paiz has spoken out openly about the emotional toll the split and betrayal caused, especially given the couple’s high-profile status and role as parents to three young children.

Yet, this new union feels like more than just a rebound it’s a deliberate act of healing and hope. Paiz described her relationship with Igor as born of spiritual connection and mutual growth. Ten, with roots in Brazil and a Chinese-Brazilian heritage, met Paiz during a retreat in the Amazon, forming a bond that transcended language and distance. He’s continued to learn English as their love deepened, demonstrating the lengths he’s gone to be present in both her world and her children’s.

Austin McBroom has also offered his quiet approval. Speaking on the Outside Voices podcast, he praised Ten as “a great guy” and expressed trust in Paiz’s judgment when introducing someone as a partner and a parent figure to their children. “Every time I see him, he shakes my hand,” McBroom said. “We acknowledge each other, which is very important because he is someone who is around my kids.”

Fans and followers responded to the engagement announcement with overwhelming warmth and support. Messages poured in celebrating Paiz’s new love story and honoring her journey of resilience. The September wedding, hinted at in the initial announcement, now carries the weight of renewed optimism and stability for her blended family.

This moment also serves as a cultural touchstone highlighting how public figures navigate heartbreak, healing, and second chances. Paiz’s story is one of courage: she’s chosen transparency over privacy, love over silence, and authenticity over image.

As the month unfolds, attention will shift to wedding details, venue, style, perhaps a peek at the ceremony. But in the meantime, what matters most is the meaning behind this engagement: two people forging a new family path by choice one rooted in devotion and mutual respect.
