Catherine Paiz Reveals Pregnancy Amid Relationship With Michael B. Jordan

Both Michael B. Jordan and Catherine Paiz have some pretty impressive followings. Michael, known for his major roles in films like Black Panther and Sinners, is one of Hollywood's most promising leading men.

Catherine, of the famed ACE Family YouTube channel, has her own group of fans and followers.

But did you know that before Catherine was with her now ex-husband Austin McBroom, she was romantically linked with Michael? Here's what we know about their rumored romance and what happened to end Catherine's next big love story.

To trace the rumors about Catherine and Michael, we have to go all the way back to 2014. The world was very different, and Catherine hadn't yet married and welcomed three children into the world with Austin.

According to People, early in his career, Michael and Catherine were photographed together at a pool in Miami. They got a little cozy together and someone snapped a photo of the duo.

However, their relationship was never publicly confirmed nor denied.

But it was perhaps noteworthy when Catherine and her then-husband Austin attended a basketball game in 2021, and she and Austin seemingly intentionally ignored Michael, giving him the cold shoulder (per People).

While this doesn't confirm that Catherine and Michael was once an item, it is a little bizarre.

Unfortunately for Catherine, her next big romance didn't end in a fairy tale either.

Back in 2016, Catherine and Austin launched the ACE Family YouTube channel, the same year that they welcomed the first of their three children: Elle, Alaia, and Steel.

The two tied the knot a year later in secret, and their YouTube channel grew rapidly. Fans tuned in to watch them prank each other and engage in fun family challenges, especially as they started welcoming more children.

But there were rumors of trouble nearly right from the start.

Rumors of Austin's supposed infidelity dogged the channel for years, with Austin and Catherine sidestepping addressing it directly. They also lost their home and faced allegations of not paying contractors.

But their relationship still seemed to be going strong until the couple split in January 2024. Catherine later joined host Alexandra Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast and decided to spill the beans. All the beans.

According to Catherine, Austin cheated on her with as many as 20 women.

Catherine was honest about the impact his infidelity had on her, talking about how she was always seeking a home.

Hopefully, she found that when she purchased her own home in 2024, opening a new chapter for herself and her kids. Although her marriage and perhaps her life didn't end up how she expected, she seems to be doing well.

Fans, however, will have to keep dreaming if they want Michael and Catherine to end up together. As far as we know, that candle has been put out permanently.
