Sex and intimacy are very, very sacred to me.  hen I found out there was cheating, I checked out.   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.'" 

The 34-year-old—who shares kids Elle, 9, Alaia, 6, and Steel, 4, with Austin—noted that she had learned he had been cheating on her while she was three months pregnant with their youngest.

"I was going through a lot postpartum," she recalled.  Your body changes, breastfeeding and you're taking care of multiple children."

YouTuber Catherine Paiz Breaks Silence on Ex Austin McBroom's Alleged Cheating Scandal

Catherine alleged that Austin, 33, didn't pursue her sexually, either, which was how she said she knew "there was cheating going on."

"Now, I know how that's not normal," she explained regarding their lack of intimacy. "At the time, I thought we were going through a lot. There were a lot of bad things happening around us. We have children, we're overworking, we're tired, we're stressed. We're anxious."

E! News has reached out to reps for Austin for comment and has not yet heard back.

Although Catherine pointed to Austin's infidelity—which he admitted to in his Snapchat Stories May 12—as the reason for their relationship's demise, she admitted that she didn't handle challenges in their marriage well, either.

"I'm a huge part of this problem," she said. "I take full accountability for being in a relationship with someone and also not pursuing intimacy. Although I was disgusted and I didn't want to be intimate, I didn't have these very serious conversations like, 'Hey, maybe we should go see a therapist, maybe we should do couples therapy.'"

"This wasn't normal, going another year without being physically intimate," the influencer continued. "It is such an important part of a marriage and a relationship."

Austin claimed in his Snapchat posts that not only did Catherine know about his extramarital affairs, but she condoned his decision. However, she vehemently denied the accusation. 

"One thing he said that really just was a punch to the gut was, 'Yes, I cheated and she was OK with it as long as I said you don't embarrass me,'" she told Alex. "That is not true. I never ever said that. I would never say that. I would never want my kids to think that it's OK to cheat on your husband or your wife."
