Catherine Paiz Is Expecting Her Fourth Child — Her First with Husband Igor Ten, Announced Six Weeks After Saying “I Do”
Catherine Paiz never imagined she would find herself here so soon: already basking in the glow of newlywed life while discovering she’s expecting her first child with husband Igor Ten — and her fourth overall. The 35-year-old influencer shared the surprise news via Instagram, posting a photo of a positive pregnancy test and writing in part, “I’m pregnant!!!!! Still so shocked ahhhhh.” She revealed she is in her first trimester and, yes, feeling “way too nauseous” to post her usual content.
Paiz and Ten married on September 28, 2025, less than a month after announcing their engagement. Her three older children — Elle (9), Alaïa (6), and Steel (5) — were born during her previous marriage to YouTube star Austin McBroom, with whom she officially divorced in January 2024. Now, this pregnancy marks a new chapter in Paiz’s life and her blended family journey, one that feels both unexpected and deeply meaningful.
When Paiz first introduced her relationship with Ten in November 2024, many were surprised at how quickly things moved — by February 2025 he had proposed on Valentine’s Day, and within months they were married. On social media, Ten described meeting Paiz’s children as life-changing and posted that he had “never imagined I could feel a love so pure, so profound… a love that reshapes me every day.”
For Paiz, who rose to fame on the ACE Family YouTube channel alongside McBroom, this new milestone carries added gravity. After nearly a decade of public scrutiny over her personal life and the couple’s eventual split, she now finds herself stepping into a role she describes as “safe” and deeply heartfelt. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, she confessed she had never felt so secure and whole, having spent years feeling like part of a machine rather than her own person.
The announcement, however joyous, comes with its own complexities. The timing is intimate and intense — just six weeks after the wedding Paiz shared the test result; she revealed she had taken the test while in Doha, Qatar, remarking that she had been up late, “peed about five times,” and wondered if she just might be pregnant. For fans and followers, this move instantly became a part of her narrative: influencer mother-of-three now entering a fresh phase as wife and soon-to-be mother again, under the spotlight of social media.
McBroom, meanwhile, responded with grace. Ahead of the wedding, the former husband posted on a livestream that he had been invited and supported Paiz and Ten’s union, even though he admitted “I might cry” seeing her marry someone else. He said he wanted “the best for her” and noted that they remain committed to co-parenting their children.
Paiz’s social media followers were quick to offer congratulations, offering love and support for what the next chapter holds. At the same time, many shared admiration for the way Paiz has managed transition, reinvention and public scrutiny — emerging, she says, with a stronger sense of self and purpose.
Looking ahead, Paiz and Ten are preparing not just for a fourth addition but for how this child will fit into their blended family, and how their home will evolve from three little ones to four. Ten’s earlier posts describing his daughters and son as “extraordinary kids” and his love for them as “transformative” hint at his desire to embrace this new role fully and tenderly.
For Paiz, the pregnancy is more than a milestone—it’s a statement. After years of navigating public expectations, family branding, and personal shifts, she’s saying yes to joy, to love, and to the unpredictability of life. She’s also reminding her followers that life doesn’t always follow the expected timeline, but it still has room for surprise, healing and new beginnings.
As this story unfolds, Paiz appears intent on keeping transparency at the forefront. Her Instagram post didn’t just share good news—it said: “I’m still so shocked.” That unfiltered admission spoke to the vulnerability beneath the highlight reel, reminding her followers that even publicly curated lives contain uncertainty and wonder.
No doubt there will be chapters to come: announcements about gender, baby name hints, and glimpses of the days ahead. But for now, the moment is this one—a bride newly married, a mother of three expecting again, and a couple ready to embrace life’s next big leap. For Paiz, it’s not just about expanding family—it’s about building something fresh, grounded and filled with love.
