Catherine McBroom, also known by her persona “Dolores the Mermaid,” shared a sneak peek of her upcoming book on Mother’s Day, and it has sparked a wave of reactions online.
Austin McBroom, a former NCAA basketball player, and Catherine, known for building their online empire as The Ace Family, officially announced the end of their marriage in 2026.
They’ve been together for almost ten years and share three children: Elle, Alaia, and Steele.
Despite the separation, both said they plan to remain a strong parenting team and focus on providing their children with a stable and loving environment.
Fans speculated that cheating may have played a role in the breakup.
Those rumors have followed the couple for years, especially after public accusations from other influencers in the past.
“one time austin mcbroom was cheating on catherine with a random bitch and she left a lipstick in his car, then i was sitting with jake in the car and he gets a facetime
it’s from austin (crying) and catherine, yelling “IS THIS TANA’S LIPSTICK AUSTIN SAYS IT IS”
(it wasn’t)
However, Austin has denied any infidelity, and both he and Catherine have chosen not to address the speculation in their recent announcements directly.
Catherine McBroom Opens Up About Infidelity And Emotional Struggles During Ace Family Charity Event
She opens up about her rocky past with Austin McBroom and appears to confirm long-standing rumors of infidelity.
Catherine recalls one of the Ace Family’s charity events, where she started to suspect something was off.
When she asked Austin if they should walk together at the event, his vague response, “if you want to,” set off alarms for her.
That uneasy feeling grew stronger as she felt ignored and left out.
According to Catherine, she later confirmed that Austin had been unfaithful, not just rumors or doubts, but solid proof.
Catherine also reveals how hard it was to keep the truth from her family, especially her brother Ryan, who had just started his YouTube channel. She didn’t want to pull him into the drama.
At the same time, she was pregnant with their third child, making the emotional toll even heavier.
Similarly, she writes that Austin had invited someone to the event, a woman he had been secretly speaking to.
While she doesn’t name names, fans speculate based on footage and photos from that day.
Many believe the mystery woman was caught on camera.
Fans have flooded social media with comments, many expressing support for Catherine and saying they always suspected something was off.
Some pointed out how visibly upset she looked at the event, suggesting her emotions were too complex to hide, even back then.
To make matters worse, Austin has publicly said this was his favorite event ever, despite Catherine now alleging that he was being unfaithful during this same time.
