Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
in the beginning or later on about putting your kids on camera never and you know why alex because back in the day it was really new like youtube it's been a thing for a while but we were really like that like i hate to say the word but i feel like we kind of pioneered that like family vlogging
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
experience you know what i mean it's like we were the first to do it at that magnitude in that way and it was like i It was like when this monster of social media was starting. Sometimes I think back and I'm like, oh my God, am I part of this craziness that's going on now in the world?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
we first started it was so pure it was like pure intentions it was like obviously we want to make a living you know like anyone wants to make a living you got to work but it was more like we're just being present with our family our daughter and it's interesting because we would make these elaborate videos and we found out very early on that people enjoyed our family vlogs our simple family vlogs sitting on the floor
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Those would get more views than our like big elaborated videos we would spend money on and doing. So it was just like, well, people just want to see us. They just relate to us. Maybe they see themselves in us.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah, I think that those were the conversations and things we were having. But in terms of like exploitation and stuff like that never crossed our mind. That was like, I just feel like we were just the beginning of something new. How do you feel about it now? You know, we're in the age of technology and... You know, it's like, there's no right or wrong, I don't think.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Like, I think that like, if people choose to keep their private, certain private things away from social media, that's beautiful. And I think that if some people choose to do it the opposite way, I think that that's beautiful too. I think that everything's meant to be the way that it's meant to be.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So there was a period we were making like we were making seven fingers a month. To me, it was like I was numb to it. Truly. It was just like, it didn't make any sense. I was going through this phase in my life where I just felt so disattached. And now I look back and think, oh my God, I would have done so much with that. I would have invested. I would have bought my mom a house, my dad a house.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I would have done this, this and that. And it's like... We just didn't have the right mentors. We didn't have the right tools. We didn't have... We had a lot of yes men around us. And we just made really bad business decisions along the way.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Oh my gosh. Yeah. There is moments where I'm like, because, you know, like big reveals and stuff, like people want to watch those. That's a great clickbait. And so, you know, It was genuine for a long time. It was like, okay, he's genuinely surprising me. He's genuinely proposing to me.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It was like, wow, this is so crazy that we can capture such a big milestone, big moment, and we can actually look back on it too. It's filmed. But then also... having so many eyes on you, I didn't know back in the day, back in the time, now I know, but I didn't know that I was not protecting myself.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But the moment that I realized where I don't know if this is real or not real, I don't know, that must have happened genuinely i there was like a big moment for me it was when my second daughter was born um i just felt this disconnection and it was like i actually don't want to film this but like i know that people are waiting for it because they've invested so much and
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
There was this fine line of like, do I put my foot down and just like live in the moment or do I also? So and then he was holding the camera, so it made it easier. But then it was like, is he here, though? Is he present? So that was like a big moment for me.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I was just like really numb and empty at the time.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
There might have been moments where we kind of talked about, but to be honest with you, not really. Like, I just, we didn't have that communication within ourselves. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah, there was moments where you know, i'd see some money coming out and it was you know to pay this pay that and it was like I didn't feel like I was having that like wife like that partner that husband and wife conversation about our finances And it would be heartbreaking to look at the bank because I was very well aware of what was in there And it's like where did that go?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm doing good. I feel like I'm in a new place in my life and I'm just so excited just to like be free with myself and just be authentic. Not that I wasn't authentic before. I just feel like I'm at just a new stage in my life.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Like what what's happening? or like, um One thing as well, it's like little things that, you know, things that I would never think to pay for, like a private jet, for instance, you know, that personally for me wasn't something I would ever do. Like if I had never met him, I would have never been on a private jet today.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm like, probably never, you know, because I'm thinking like, I'll just take a regular flight.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Oh, you know, I'm sorry. You know, I didn't want you to worry. And... I don't know. I just feel like, you know, I get it, but it's like, that's not what a marriage is about. A marriage is about talking about these very deep things that really affect like our children and our future. And like, you know, when you make certain investments, the goal is to make, at least make your money back, you know?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And so that was really stressful for me. That really caused a lot of stress and strain in our relationship.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So leading up to that moment, um, I felt like there was a lot of things that I was losing control over. My family, my relationship, our career, everything. There was a lot of narratives and things that were being said. I was really strong. I was like, I'm going to be strong. I'm going to keep fighting. We have our home. We have our home. Our kids are happy. They're healthy. We're healthy.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Everything's fine. One day I wake up and I get a phone call. It's my father-in-law. He said, Catherine, the house is under foreclosures all over the news. I'm like, what do you mean? What do you mean? He goes, well, your loan ended and no one's going to, it's a jumbo loan. No one's going to accept you. You don't have the certificate of occupancy.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But I'm like, but I've been paying the mortgage every month for three years. Everything, what do I need to do? What do I need to pay? I'll save it. What do we need? There's nothing you can do. It's under foreclosure. It's gone. You have 30 days to move out.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
yeah and it was heartbreaking I cried an ocean and it's crazy because out of all the things that were happening in that era that was the thing that really broke me because I was looking for a home my whole life it's like I just wanted to feel like I'm at home can you explain to me because I'm sure people are really confused and want a little bit of clarity on like there was so much going on behind the scenes obviously that people didn't know like
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
When the cameras were off, I wouldn't say that there was much of a change. I think if anything, at least I can speak for myself, I feel like I was pretending. You know what I mean? It's like, I feel like I was just so disconnected from myself. Not like everything around me, but like within myself, you know? And I was like... All of this happened so fast. I gave birth. We started a YouTube channel.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It grows overnight. I'm a new mother. I'm newly married. There's all these eyes on us. There's so many people that want things from us. It was just a lot of things. And so when the cameras were off, it was more like, I'm just going to sit here and breastfeed my baby. And just... Like scroll on my phone like I never went out. I never hung out with my friends.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
When it first started, my heart sank. I'm like, oh my gosh. Like, I remember like sitting with my, oh my gosh, like, is this going to happen? You know? And then it was like, oh, well, I see him. I'm with him every day. Like we're co-parenting, we're married, we're business partners. I mean, when is he going to have time? But it's really interesting.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I was telling my mom the other day, I remember when I was 16 years old and I walked into a room where the TV was on and there was, it was that talk show, Tyra Banks. And there was a lady who said, if a man has enough time to go into the bathroom, he has enough time to cheat. And it just stuck with me. And I thought, does he have enough time to cheat on me? You know what I mean? Um,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And so that was kind of like the beginning. It's like, I don't know what's true or not. And, you know, and I'd even have moments where we'd be laying in bed, you know, just falling asleep. And I'd get a text from a random number. Your husband is out at a party with me. And I'm thinking like, he's right over here. So there's moments I didn't know what to believe. There's some things that are true.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
There's some things that are distorted. There's some things that are not true. So it was really hard to tell.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Oh, you know, that comes with the territory. And let's not respond because we're just going to add fuel to the fire. And it's not true. I'm like, okay, you know, and. And you trusted him? I did. Yeah, I really trusted him.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah. So there was a couple, there's like quite a few moments, but there was a couple of moments where I was like, I'm heartbroken. Like, um, the first one, let's go to the first. So, you know, I don't remember exactly the first, first moment because I feel like there's just so many, but, um, there was this one moment.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I think for me, it's like I felt silenced for so long. And it wasn't like someone was silencing me. I was silencing myself. Yeah. And I think that for all those years of just not being able to just speak freely and just really sit with myself, It was really hard, Alex. It was really hard. And I think that now I'm just so healed from all of my experiences. Not just my relationship.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
moment i had just had my daughter my second daughter she was about six months old or something and he was like hey i have to go to miami for a meeting and and i go please and i'm you know i'm the type of partner where i love for my partner to feel free like i trust you go you want to go on a trip you want to go boys trip whatever you want to do go like that's just my personality now i look back i'm thinking like i should change to change some things up a little bit and care a little bit more
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But at the time, I just had a baby. I was tired. I was filming every day. I had another baby. It's taking care of changing diapers, breastfeeding, breastfed all my kids five years straight. So I'm super exhausted, super tired, you know. And so he said, I want to go to Miami. And I said, you know, you go, you go on your trip.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I remember calling my mom and my mom saying, I would never let my husband leave. My baby's just a couple months old, like. you're, I don't know, you're different. And I'm thinking, oh, well, I don't know. I was like, you know, I think he deserves it. He's been working so hard. He edits, people don't realize he edited every single video on our channel. We didn't have an editor.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So I thought, you know, he deserves to go out. Like, it's okay. He wants to go on a business trip, whatever. I remember that business trip, like it was yesterday, that business trip. Mm-hmm. He called me quite a few times where I felt like, you're calling me a little too much. Like, I was just like, I don't know, like, it's okay, go have fun, you know? And he pocket dialed me accidentally.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I heard women in the back, a couple women. And I thought, okay, well, okay, well, I guess my husband's hanging out with women. I'm thinking, whatever, hung up the phone, continued my day.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
A couple of months go by and this blonde male makeup artist makes this video on YouTube talking about my husband and how he was in Miami and there was this group of people and there was all these girls and there was this bow and all these and to be honest with you till this day, I never watched the video.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But I have gotten that like information from some good friends who watched it for me and were able to like process it for me and help me process it. And I was pregnant in that moment. And I had to listen to that. And nobody knew I was pregnant. I was having my son. And I remember bawling and thinking, is this true? And even if it's not true, why are people saying this? This is like so detailed.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I didn't believe the horrors, but it was like, am I... Am I just being stupid right now? Like, am I just really not sitting with this? Or do I vindicate him? Do I vindicate our family? And that's what I did. And I think back at my old self. I think, oh, poor girl. Like, I wish I could hug her today. Like, she was just going through so much.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And the old version of myself just wanted to protect that little piece we had in the family, you know? And I would see it in his eyes and I'm thinking like, I don't know, like something's not right, but I'm going to have a baby and I have to focus on the baby right now. So I wasn't sure, right?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And that was a big moment for me because there was some things that were being said that just, it just made a lot of sense. It was all adding up. You know what I mean? And did you confront him? Yeah, I did, but not in a way where I was like, It was more like, how do we fix this? Because this is not true. And he's like, yeah, that's not true.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
This guy and he's making things up and oh my God, he's trying to extort me and this and that. And some of those things were true, some of them weren't. And I thought, how do we fix it? And I was just lying to myself. I knew deep inside, something didn't feel right. But then a couple months later, I was, we were filming this thing called Vlogmas on YouTube.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
People film every day for the month of December. And we had done it, you know, it was like a common thing. I remember. We would do every winter. And this was in December. And I was, you know, at that point, I was about three months pregnant with my son. I didn't know I was having a boy yet. So I just, you know, I was pregnant.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I wore baggy shirts and like, you know, like I'd wear bigger shirts cause I didn't want anyone to know yet. I wanted to keep it to myself, especially cause there was all this like negativity going around about him. So I'm like, I'm just gonna keep this to myself. And then there is this moment that changed everything for me. We, oh, I had a dream. I have a lot of dreams. Very symbolic.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
All of the traumas and all the experiences that I faced early on in my life. I've just healed so much through all of them. Truly. Like, actually, truly. And I just feel so...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm sure you do too. I had a dream where I was walking into my bedroom, the bedroom I was sleeping in. We had this massive long 10 foot bed. I'm walking into the room and there's this, he's sitting in the bed and there's a woman with this beautiful blonde hair. I just see the back of her and she turns around and she's this demon. And I woke up from that nightmare and I was crying.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I was like, oh my God, that was the worst nightmare I've ever had. Like I literally, there was a demon on my bed. And the whole day felt eerie. It was so eerie. It was so weird. And I didn't tell anybody. And I was just like, that's so weird. Couple of hours later, we start filming. And we go to this studio to get my daughter's first haircut. She was a year old. She's getting her first haircut.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And he, you know, our assistant, who was Austin's friend from back in the day, was there. It was Austin and myself and our daughter. And we walked in, you know, there were some fans and they were like, can we take a picture? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, like, let's finish filming, you're doing this and we'll take the photo. So they're all waiting there.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And, you know, everyone in the salon knows who we are and stuff. So it was just, you know, a regular moment. We're there filming. He's filming our daughter's first haircut. And I'm kind of like, I'm taking photos for myself for my phone, you know, like, oh my gosh, like...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
taking the photo and then like a movie my camera i mean my phone dies it just goes black and i look at him without a thought and i go give me give me give me your phone give me your phone let me take a photo because you know we're gonna miss the moment she's getting her first haircut as soon as my hand grabs that phone mind you had never never looked in his phone ever ever Never.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
alive I feel like I can really just be myself and it's okay you know it's it's it's okay to be me and sit with myself and I wrote a book yes you did I wrote a book about um you know some of the experiences that I had early in my life um into my adulthood. And I think through my healing and through writing of this book, I've really just like came back to myself.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I grabbed the phone and it felt kind of weird because I'm like holding his phone, right? Like it just felt odd because I knew maybe there had maybe things he was hiding. I didn't want to look.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
As soon, Alex, as soon as I grabbed the phone. No. Like out of a movie, this long text comes through. If you really love your wife, you wouldn't be da-da-da-da-da. And I like my brain scanned it, but I wasn't able to read it fully. But in that moment, my heart drops. I'm pregnant. There's people watching us. The camera's on. It felt like, it just felt surreal.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
The assistant looks, notices, looks at him. He grabs the phone from me and instantly deletes the message. And I thought, oh my gosh, it's true. Oh my God. Yeah. And I was calm, very calm. And we paid and we finished. I wasn't in my body anymore. I wasn't on earth anymore. We walk out of the store or the salon and I said, Austin, who was that? And he's like, it's nobody, it's nothing.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Please tell me who that was. I saw the text. And I kept replaying what I could have done. Should I run to the bathroom? Should I take... I'm like, what should I have done in that moment? Tackle him and read it.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It was an emotional... I saw enough to know instantly, this is an emotional relationship he's having with somebody. This is a woman that is... having a relationship with my husband. And we got in the car and, you know, then my voice got a little, who was that? Oh, like lower your voice, the kids. And I'm like, okay. And I'm calming myself. The kids are in the car.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Let's like, I mean, it's have grace, right? It's a strong poised, get home. We get home blacked out. I was like,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
yelling screaming tell me please please just tell me who that was please just I feel so stupid just tell me I'm having a baby please just tell me and I ran out of the house I got in my car and I just started driving and I didn't know where I was driving just driving crying an ocean bawling I couldn't even see where I was driving and I thought I need to park somewhere so I went to a park parked at the park put my hands on the wheel and I said god if you hear me please tell me what to do and
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
In that moment, it's so interesting because, um, I knew that one day I'd have a son and that I would name him steel. There was like this inner knowing and. when I had that conversation with God and I was really just like, just like a point of just, I'm surrendering. Just tell me what to do. And I heard this voice and it was like, you are having your son. There's a reason you named him steel.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
You have to stay strong for this whole pregnancy and just don't make any impulsive decisions. Just keep going. Just keep this in the back of your mind. It's going to, it's, it's going to live there and it's going to, it's going to, You're going to see everything's going to make sense, but don't make any big decisions right now. And I went home and I acted like nothing. I acted like nothing.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I didn't talk to him for a couple days. I think that was the longest we'd ever gone without talking since we met. I think we went like two, three days. And then I texted him and I was like, we need to talk. And we went, we took a drive. We met in the middle of a street and we got her in the car and he told me who she was and he showed me.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I was like, okay, so that was the girl you were talking to a couple months back. Now it's all making sense. Like you said, you were talking to a girl that needed help with Snapchat. And I'm thinking like- Why is a married man talking to a woman about snapchat like snapchat wasn't even monetized in a day? Like what are you talking about? Like what are you doing? I think okay.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
This is making sense. Okay, this is making sense. Okay, so I thought okay. Well What do we need to do? Like what how can we how can we? move on from this like what do we do like I was like And I didn't tell him this at the time, but I thought I can forgive him because he's crying out for help and I can, I, because at the time I was, I wasn't religious. I still not religious.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
You know, I'm, I'm, I believe in Christ, but I'm not bound by like religious structures. But I was very like, you stick to,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
To your husband I was very like traditional in that sense and I don't know who made me like that, but I was just that way And I thought okay, maybe I can forgive him, you know And so as the days went on, you know, then we went to um a trip to hawaii Someone said we should go there because you know That's where the heart chakra of the planet is and you know Maybe we can get some healing and so we went to hawaii and then that's when I had posted that I was pregnant Thinking like i'm getting bigger now.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I need to post and Yeah, it's a secret that I was carrying inside of me and I wanted to like scream out loud that I was going through this, but I couldn't.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm going to be honest with you. It never felt apologetic ever. yeah and you know what's interesting is um even through our divorce even through everything i never heard him say the words i cheated until about a week ago when that first chapter of my book came out i've never heard him say the words i cheated and when i heard the words I was like, oh my God. Finally, I heard it. Thank you so much.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
That was all I was waiting for. Thank you. That's all I needed to hear. You could have just said it to me. You could have just been honest with me and just told me. But it was like I was being gaslighted. Like it wasn't actually happening. And it was like... And... Yeah, I think that finally hearing those words was so healing for me because it's like I wasn't going crazy. Like, it was everywhere.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
That and because... Now I understand the bigger, the whole picture. I get it. I think a common theme for him was, because if you really think about it, what kind of woman sleeps with a married man whose whole identity is based on being a married man and having, being a family man, you know?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So I kept thinking, I kept going through those things as well as like, women are really like that, like women. And so what I was thinking was, he must have been telling this woman that I didn't care. And in that video he posted last week, Out of everything he said, I mean, everything was false, right? Or distorted or whatever.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But the one thing he said that really, really just like, it was like a punch to the gut, was that he said that, yes, I cheated and she was okay with it as long as I said, you don't embarrass me. And that is not true.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
i never ever ever said that i would never say that and i would never want my kids to think that that is okay to cheat on your husband or your wife and i will make sure that i raise them and that they know that they never ever do that because that is so wrong and you never cheat on the person you love and i would never in a million years say that so that was really hurtful that he
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
like i know personally of women like i like don't know them personally like as i'm friends with them but i know who they are and i would never say their names yeah never never never never i would never you know i'm not that kind of person but i know of many um many as in like i know for sure of three like for sure for sure
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
No, but they're out there in the world acting like that never happened, probably. And I know the truth. How many do you think there are? I don't know. I saw some headline things saying he said there was 20 or something. I don't know if that's true or not. Because I didn't watch his full video. But I don't know if he did say that, kind of trying to cover himself.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Because I think when he saw the beginning, the first chapter of my book, he thought maybe that I wrote a lot more about him. But I kind of didn't, in a sense. Like, to be honest with you, it's a memoir about my life. But I will say that when you write a book, you always put the hardest part of your journey in the beginning of the book, right? To catch the reader, to really draw them in.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
That's just something that as writers is common. And so he really got it backwards.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
She covered for him, which I believe that it's probably true definitely happened because um, I remember We had a lamborghini at the time. I never drove that car And I got in one day. Um As a passenger and I noticed there was a lip, uh lip liner Lip lip liner lip gloss something like that and it wasn't mine and I thought and I I'm like, who's is this? He's like, oh, um

Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Why didn't you call me? Message me. Oh, hey, girl. I was there on that phone call. I just want to let you know, you know, that wasn't true.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
express myself, you know through all those allegations of cheating and infidelity and all those things it's like I was so afraid to speak up I was so afraid to say i'm an idiot like I just didn't see it, you know, or I was so afraid to say You know, i'm trying to hold the very little piece that we have in our family.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Through a friend who's married to a guy that was physically there. Years later, by the way, when it didn't matter anymore. It was like, oh, really? Oh, okay, that's supposed to be me. Right, you're like, shit. I guess it did happen.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah. So there was this girl, the girl that I was talking about earlier, the one with the long text. So that was her.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
To me, it's like, why lie about that? But now I know you can lie about a lot of things that aren't true. So I'm like, okay, well... Because the thing is that I knew that writing this book, there would be some kind of retaliation or some things that are said. I knew that something would come from this, obviously, because I wrote a book. I didn't know what magnitude. That I wasn't aware of.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But it's interesting because I saw it and I thought, this is not... me you know like this is i'm past that like i truly feel like it was a test truly it's like you austin you could have handled that differently you know you could have said I saw, I saw, see, she has a book out, you know, and one of the things he said is I didn't tell him about the book.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
The thing is, when you go through a divorce, you don't really tell someone what you're doing. You know what I mean? And I had been promoting the book for actually for two years. I've been talking about it. So he had seen it. Um, I think if I would have mentioned the book to him privately, he may have want to try to stop me from doing it.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So it was just something I didn't, I mean, it was doing me, you know? Um, but yeah, I think that, um,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
him he could have handled it differently he could have said you know i just saw that katherine you're my ex-wife she has a book out and he could have said something along the lines of you know although i don't totally agree with what she said you know there's i guess there's always different sides of the story and i wish her well and i'm not proud of the things i did but we've both moved on and what
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Well, the crazy thing is it did happen. And that's where I found out all the lies. So like that moment was a significant moment in my life. So, of course, I'm going to talk about it if that was life-changing for me. Because I was pregnant when all of these things were going on. And I got confirmation from one of his family members saying, I told him not to bring that girl.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I'm thinking, like, what? You knew, too? Like, I'm thinking, like, oh, my gosh. Like, I'm just being blindsided over here. Like, I had no idea. Like, truly. Like, yeah, I've been seeing the rumors and the narratives. But, oh, my gosh.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm trying to keep that together i'm trying to shelter the the very little piece that we have, you know, and um For me, it was like, you know, I'm just, I'm embarrassed. I don't know what's true or not. There are so many things that aren't true. It's really hard to like differentiate what is true, what isn't until I really found out. Okay.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So sex intimacy is very, very sacred to me, like more today than it has ever been. When I found out that there was cheating, I checked out and I said, my body is a temple and I refuse to allow anybody to come near my temple if he cannot be honest and truthful and loyal. And it was like, I'm checked out. And it is true. And actually, I wrote it in the book. I put four years. It was four years.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It was actually more like five years, if you think about it, because... Five years of what? Of not being intimate with him. Okay. Because... Just to be completely transparent and honest, because I do feel like a lot of women and men can relate to this. But...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Um, I was going through a lot of postpartum, you know, your body changes, you know, you're breastfeeding and you're taking care of multiple children. And so, um, we, um, we had my daughter and then we had, you know, I was pregnant that whole year and I, you know, I was the cheating allegations, all the things. And I thought, you know, I don't know. And then I got pregnant with my son.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I'm thinking like, maybe we can make this work, you know, maybe this is not what it all seems to be. And, you know, we had just moved into our new house and we're like, you know, maybe, maybe we can have the family that we're always meant to have, you know, the family that we're portrayed to the world, you know, maybe we can really be that.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I got pregnant and then that was, and then I found out he was cheating on me and that was it. That was a never, never, ever, ever like.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And did he pursue you at all? Like, did he try? No. And that's how I knew that there was cheating going on. Right. Yeah. And you know what? Now I know how that's not normal. Mm-hmm. At the time, I thought...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
you know, we're going through a lot, you know, there's a lot of bad things happening around us, you know, we have children, you know, and we're overworked and we're tired and we're stressed and we are anxious and all these things. And now I think back, I'm like, even when I would like, we would kiss or it just, it was a disconnection. And I thought, this isn't my husband. Like,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah. Yeah. I think that that's what part of, you know, our love and our bond. It's like, we are so deeply connected, like, in all ways. And... Yeah, I'm a huge part of this problem, though. It's like, I take it full accountability on being in a relationship with someone and not also pursuing intimacy because...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Although I was disgusted and I didn't want like to be intimate, I didn't have these very serious conversations like, hey, maybe we should go see a therapist. Like maybe we should do couples therapy. Maybe like this is a normal going like another year without being physically intimate. Intimate. It is such an important part of a marriage and a relationship.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It was a cheating. It was nothing else. Could handle anything.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It's really hurtful because... It's just such a strange thing to say. For years in my spiritual journey, everyone in my circle and everyone knows how deeply connected I am to Christ and to Mother Mary. More than ever today, I feel like I can connect to her always. And I think that's just his way to just throwing jobs, just trying to make me look crazy, try to paint a picture of, she's crazy.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
My decision was solely based on the fact that I didn't want that to change people's perception of him because I thought that we could heal and we can get to a better place. I didn't want to say something and then them like have so much, you know, information. At the end of the day, it's like it's almost like gossip, like, you know, gossiping. And I believe I truly believe that gossiping is poison.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And so I thought, you know, this is my marriage and I'm going to I'm just going to keep it to myself because I need to figure it out within myself. When I decided that I wanted a divorce, that's truly when I told my parents and my family, it's like I want to get a divorce. And they were very supportive of me.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yes. And for a while it was. But I felt at one point I'm like, everybody knows, you know, it's like everybody knows. It's it's it was like it started to become so obvious.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It deeply impacted my reputation. I felt like I was in a fishbowl and I couldn't... It's like all these eyes pressing in on me and I'm thinking like, oh my gosh, I don't know. Do I protect or do I say my truth and then my whole life changes? You know what I mean? And it's like... I always thought about my kids first. I need to be a mother to them. I need to mother them.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Their mother needs to be happy, healthy, laughing, playing. I don't want to have two separate homes right now. I don't want to have to figure out what I'm going to do for a living now because we've been doing this for almost 10 years. We've been doing this for so long. It was just me trying to just... Like navigate that with myself.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah, so my mom was born in Nicaragua. My dad is Panamanian. They met in Panama. They were teenagers when they met. And, you know, they had a lot of hardship. They had a very toxic relationship, just like any young couple that is new to a country, new language, new everything. They didn't have family. They didn't have friends. And so the first half of my childhood, my dad was a single dad.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Like I didn't want to make these big impulsive decisions publicly.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
say something or leave or say i'm staying with him even though i think there was moments where i'm like i'm gonna leave tomorrow like i'm gonna do this tomorrow and i'm just not gonna look back and i'm just gonna go and i'm gonna find a place and you know it we won't film and people are gonna wonder what happened to us that like i had those moments yeah i had those moments um but i think what was the hardest part about all of it was that he would never admit to it and i thought well if you're not admitting it to me you're not gonna admit it to the world right
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Another thing to Alex is another big thing that I had in the forefront of my mind. And I look back and think like, oh, my gosh, I shouldn't have been thinking like that. But I felt like if I like if I broke the family, I'm thinking like I'm needing to break the family for this. Then I'm going to break everyone's heart.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm going to break millions and millions of people who watch us and who see sees us as this. Powerful power couple and I'm gonna break everyone's heart because this isn't real.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
This isn't true This isn't what people think it is anymore and I also didn't want people to bash him because I'm like As much as he hurt me as much as I feel like I got stabbed in the back Like I can handle that but like can you handle the scrutiny and the all this it's like and clearly not because not my book didn't come out yet and he you know, but
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
For a long time, that was a huge part of why I didn't want to speak up because I don't want the father of my children to get this public humiliation. But then over the years, I thought, well, he already got it. I need to do what's best for me. I can't keep living in a lie. I can't not address the big elephant in the room.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
There was a conversation that we had right before he had this big boxing match. He was the...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
the uh it was like it was like our vet and then he was like the main person on the card and the night before i felt i felt like something was about to happen i don't know it was like this like intuition feeling like in my gut i'm like i don't know something feels really strange about tomorrow like the fight was going to be the next day and i we were in the living room and you know the lights were down the kids were sleeping and i said i'm not happy and he's like
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Why are you why are you talking about this now? Why are you doing this now? I have a fight tomorrow. Like, can't you just be a little bit more sympathetic to, you know? And I was like, but I had to say it right now. I just I'm really not happy. Like, I genuinely don't feel good, Austin. Like, I don't feel something doesn't feel right.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And, oh, you know, we can have we could have this conversation after and this and that. And then the next day. He got really sick right before his fight. He had 103 fever. He was really sick. It didn't, it felt like a message. It didn't feel like he just randomly got sick. No one else got sick but Austin. And I walked into, they were staying at an Airbnb.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
my mom took herself out of that toxic relationship and moved to Florida. And so I knew she did that for the best of the family. And it's interesting, because I had such an awareness even as a child that I knew she's doing the right thing. You know what I mean? I knew that as a child. And I'm like, I know my mom is doing this for us, for the bigger picture.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It was like the whole team, you know, everybody for the fight and they were getting ready to get in the Sprinter van or the bus. And I came in, had hair and makeup done. I'm like, hey, what's going on? He's like, come, come into the room. He's like, feel my forehead. And I'm like, oh my gosh. He's like, I have a 103 fever. It just came a couple hours ago. I don't know.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I'm like, well, what are you going to do? I was like, you can't fight. He's like, no, I have to. Like, I can't not. And mind you, we just had this conversation about yesterday, like this gut feeling, like something doesn't feel right. And like, I feel like What happened that night in the fight was very... It was like a mirror of what's going on in our internal life.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah, so basically, he got really sick. I went out into the floor. You know, we're all watching them on the ring. And the first time he got knocked down... I thought, oh my God, this is the first time I've ever seen my husband crumble. And my heart stopped and I wanted to scream and cry and yell. And just, I hated, I hated that moment. And then there was a voice and then he got knocked down.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
It was the second one and then a third and then a fourth and then a fifth. And he just kept standing up. And I kept thinking, oh my gosh, this is who he is. He always stands up when he falls, right? And I heard this voice and it was like, it's okay. He's having an ego death. He has to go through this, hold space for him. Everything's gonna be okay. And we left the ring. We got in the ambulance.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
He was completely disoriented. He just kept saying the words, I need water. And I was like yelling at the paramedics, please get him water. He just, he's thirsty. He's thirsty. He needs water. And they're like, no, it's against protocol. We can't give him water. We have to wait to get him into the hospital and check in and this and that. And so, um, That happened.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And then the next day he was feeling better. I grabbed his hand and I posted a picture of us holding hands. And I was so ready to let go the day before. And I was like telling the world I'm still here for him. And it was like this moment of like. Yes, we are not romantically together in that way, but I still respect him as a father and my children.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And no matter what, I will always stand by his side. And it was like that kind of energy. So then it was almost like I was okay being in the relationship as a family, as like, I'm here, we're a team. But it was like, we were not a team. You were still lying to me.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So we had talked about it a couple times. I never said the words, I want a divorce. I never said those words ever out loud. The last conversation we'd had on separating, we actually talked about him getting another home. And I was getting another home because we were actually planning on leaving the rental we were at.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And you know, when you have like really deep conversations about making plans and then they just don't fall through. So it's kind of like that kind of thing. And then the stress of like life and all the things that it brings, you know? So that wasn't like, we weren't trying to get that done quickly, you know? Because usually when it comes to an end, you wanna get it done, right?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
But we hadn't reached that moment of like, it's an urgency, we need to do it right now. When I had that realization that it has to happen right now, I have to stop waiting for the right time because there's never going to be a right time. The moment is now. And I had that realization when it was on my 33rd birthday. So this is really interesting.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
My whole life, like ever since I was a kid, I always said 33 is going to be the biggest year of my life. And I would say that just like jokingly in my mind. And I thought 33 is going to be the biggest year of my life. And then I turned 33 and I was talking to my dad and I was like, hey, I really want to go to this retreat in Brazil. And he was like, I want to go with you. And I was like, perfect.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Like me, you and Ryan will go to this retreat, you know, and I booked my flight on my birthday. And in that moment, you know, Austin and I, it was it was done. We just didn't make the we didn't put the wheels in motion to officially divorce and separate. But it was there.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
We were separated for sure, because it was so obvious. It was like it was in the air. It was like we hardly saw each other. We stopped filming.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
My parents didn't have much money, really nothing. And I had this really weird relationship with money. I remember thinking, my mom would say things like, we don't have the money for that, or we can't do that. And I remember looking at her and thinking, I'm gonna make a lot of money one day so that I can do all the things that I wanna do and I can support you and I can support my family.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Well, there was because I went on the retreat. And then when I came back, I had this massive, expansive experience. And I got back. I landed back until he picked me up. I got in the car and he looked over. He said, oh, how was it? And I was like, good. And in my head, I'm thinking like. he doesn't understand where I just went, what I just did. He doesn't understand. And I thought, that's okay.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
We're different places vibrationally now. And I was like, if I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it right now. I got in the car, I closed the door. How was it? We're driving out, literally driving out of the airport. And I said, Austin, I need to talk to you. He's like, hey, what's up? I was like,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
it's not a secret that our relationship is done and we're both unhappy you know i've been unhappy for a long time i know you've been unhappy for a long time and i want a divorce and he's driving okay it's like okay i was like oh my gosh all right well i was like oh my gosh i'm so happy i was like um
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I was like, I'm on your team and I love you and I want to do this right and it doesn't have to get ugly. I pray I don't want it to get ugly. And I said these words, I said, let's discuss an exit plan together as a team. Let's do it together. He goes, yeah, yeah, we could talk about it, you know?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I was like... He goes, it's funny because my realtor the other day sent me a house that's for rent down the street from where we're living now. And I thought, oh, okay, cool. He's like, yeah, it's interesting how life works. And I was like, yeah. I was like, have you seen the house? He's like, oh, I'm going to see it next week. And I'm like, okay, cool.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And then it was just kind of like, okay, like...
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Well, I didn't want to make a video because if he wasn't telling me the truth without the cameras rolling, he's for sure not going to tell the truth with the cameras rolling. So I thought, well, I'm not going to do a video with you side by side. If you can't say, I cheated on my wife and it led us to this path where we both have made mistakes, I would share my mistakes.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I didn't have good communication. I wasn't there for him, maybe when he needed me emotionally. all of these things. And I thought he can't be honest. So I'm not doing the video.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
He didn't tell the truth. He said that there's things that I regret, but it's like, that could be anything. Right. And then not to mention, um,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
so this is the thing about that and i'm just going to be completely bluntly honest because at this point just my throat chakra is open and i'm just going to be me let's go um when we discussed the divorce i said i'd really like to do uh a joint like um statement like you know a lot of people sometimes they do statements it's just easier you know and and um he's like oh no no i want to make a video and i said well i don't want to be in your video so
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I'm not going to do that. I'm going to make a statement. He goes, oh, well, give me a chance to make a video and I'll show it to you. And then you could tell me if you like it. And if you like it, then I'll post it. And I thought, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm actually curious to see what's in that video. Right. I was really curious. I'm like, make the video.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
So it took a month for him to actually make it. Okay. And I'm like, okay. Here we go. I get to see it. Oh, my gosh. Like, I'm so curious what he said. And I was in the room, in the office room, and I was watching it. And just blunt, like, honest to God. I was watching the video, and I thought... This is like social suicide. Like, I genuinely feel like this is going to make him look so bad.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And I love Austin no matter what. And I care about him, truly. So I'm thinking, if he couldn't at least say the truth, because people love truth. People love when people are honest and vulnerable. And... He wasn't doing that. It was like he was going around the truth. And I looked at him, I said, I don't like the video. I was like, if you post that, go ahead.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And it was like this drive that I had inside of me
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
If you post that, it doesn't look, I'm just going to be honest. Because at that point, it's like, I want to help you too. I want you to move on in your life too. I don't want you to be, to have this energy around you.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Yeah. So then I said, I don't like it. So he recorded me saying that.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I mean, I'm just finding this out, by the way. Because you didn't know he was filming. No, I think it was because he thought, well, this is what I think. I think he was never planning on posting the video. I think he made it. So, and again, I don't know, right? This is just my speculation.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I think he made it knowing he wasn't going to post it, but made it so that because he knew I wouldn't like it. Because he knows me. He knows me. He's been living with me. He's married to me for years. I'm mother of his children. And I think he recorded me almost purposely to get those words out of me so that maybe later in the future, if he ever needed it,
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And he, yeah, he, I mean, he got it in 24 hours. He had it there in his phone. It was almost like ready to go. And when I saw that, I thought, oh my gosh, can other people see this? Or am I the only one who sees like... That's crazy that he's like secretly recording you.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Well, that's what I was told, too. And I thought, well, I don't want to go that route because, I mean, we were filming each other and doing pranks and things throughout the day. And then he would say, well, we used to film each other. And then the fans would say, well, you guys were always filming each other. And I thought, oh, my gosh, can my book just come out?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
In that really dark period of my life, my marriage was going downhill. I lost my house. My business partners scammed me. Many, many things were happening in our internal lives, our family, our friends, all the things. I just had a baby. I was really in a really dark place. And my brother had been doing this very sacred medicine work for many years. Mm-hmm.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And he would tell me all the time, you know, Catherine, one day, like, when you're ready, I'll be here for you. And it's a solo journey. And all it took was one night of ceremony. And I had a full Kundalini awakening. I remembered everything. It completely changed my life. So it's a very powerful tool.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I think that, um, because he knows how sacred and how, um, so how, how, how much has impacted my life. I think that that was the one that jab that like, yeah, I know that means a lot to her. So I'm going to say this, you know, and, and, um, maybe a couple of years ago would have been more hurtful. Now it's more like, Oh, you know, just, um, But but no, it's that's not true.
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
I think that people will throw stones at things they don't understand. And I think that's what happened with Austin.

And I thought, I'm just going to be alone forever. And I thought, I'm OK. It's OK. I don't need anyone. I feel complete and whole in myself. And I remember saying that to myself.

Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
No, no. Why? Because it was just meant to be. I saw this thing recently. I don't I don't know who said this. I'll find out and let everyone know.

Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women

And then, you know, I was pregnant.

Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
And so he was kind of just there to like keep tabs and make sure that everything was good. And he was the one that said, hey, guys, like you guys should really start a YouTube channel. And he's like, you know, your videos are going viral on Facebook and people are making money off of them. And I'm thinking like, what?
Call Her Daddy
Catherine Paiz: My Husband Cheated with 20 Women
Because we would make like cute little homemade videos, you know, of him talking to my belly or just us being funny and goofy or whatever. And he's like, people are taking your videos and monetizing your videos. Why don't you guys make your own videos? And I thought, can we do that? You can make money off your videos? I'm like, what?

And but nothing is, you know, set in stone.

It was like, you know, we were just private, you know, just, I mean, we filmed on our phone, you know, we weren't making a vlog. And...
