They announced their divorce Thursday, Jan. 11, in separate
social media posts.
In their statements, the two both wrote that they have
"mutually agreed" to the split and will work together to continue
parenting their three young children: Elle, Alaia and Steel.
Having amassed more than 18 million subscribers since they
began their YouTube journey in 2016, the McBrooms are known largely for their
viral family vlogs, challenges and pranks.
Catherine McBroom wrote in her Instagram statement that
their "paths as a couple have shifted and has created challenges that are
irreconcilable."
“As heartbreaking as this is, I also feel liberated,” she wrote. “I have spent the past few years prioritizing my children and honoring my commitment to my family; all the while I seemed to be losing myself and my own personal happiness.”
In his Instagram post, Austin McBroom shared a photo of
himself and Catherine, calling the divorce the “hardest decision of my life.”
“We created one of the greatest stories, almost a decade
together, so many memories, so many accomplishments but every book comes to
end,” he wrote. “And now we will be writing a new book as separate authors.”
Some fans said they were saddened in comments. Others speculated about the reason for the split, including allegations of infidelity, which Austin McBroom has denied.
