Catherine Paiz is triumphantly embarking on the latest chapter of her life journey. Almost two years after the influencer and her ex-husband, Austin McBroom, announced their divorce, she has revealed that wedding bells are indeed in her future, as she joyously announced her engagement to Igor Ten. On September 1st, Catherine exuded excitement on Instagram, stating, "So glad I turned the page. September marks the month I walk down the aisle to embark on an eternity with you." Alongside her heartfelt caption, the YouTuber shared enchanting snapshots of herself and Igor, who publicly debuted their relationship in 2024, posing radiantly amidst golden wheat fields during their engagement photoshoot, bathed in the warm glow of the sun.
While Catherine, who shares her children Elle, 9, Alaia, 6, and Steel, 5, with Austin, is only now sharing this joyous news, Igor confirmed that he had actually popped the question earlier this year. On the same day as Catherine's announcement, the tattoo artist revealed on Instagram, "In February 2025, on Valentine's Day, I lived through one of the most unforgettable moments of my life: I asked my muse to marry me. From that day forth, a new chapter opened within me—a chapter of growth, discovery, and a love that continues to flourish endlessly."
He continued, "The love I feel for her has multiplied and gracefully extended to her three extraordinary children. Life with them has been one of the most enlightening and transformative experiences of my journey. I never imagined I could feel a love so pure, so profound—a love that reshapes me daily and reveals the beauty of loving in an entirely novel way."
As Catherine, 35, and Austin navigate the waters of co-parenting, the latter has revealed that he and Igor have already "met a few times." During an episode of his "Outside Voices" podcast in November 2024, Austin expressed, "He seems like a great guy and has a lot of respect for me, which I truly appreciate. Every time I see him, he shakes my hand. We acknowledge each other, which is crucial because he is someone who is around my kids."
"Having daughters and introducing another man into their lives is tough for me," the 33-year-old continued. "But I'm placing my trust in Catherine's judgment in bringing the right person into our children's lives."
