Together, they created a YouTube channel and started vlogging about their daily lives - because, well, that's what people are interested in these days, obviously.

The McBroom's had two more children - Alaia in 2018 and Steel in 2020 - and continued to share and bless the world their precious family moments.
What happened in the 'slap' video?
In the video, McBroom is lying on the sofa with his family and speaking to the camera about his new workout regime.
Flexing his arm muscles and slapping his own behind, he says "I've been working out too much. My s*** getting fat."
He then slaps his own daughter's buttocks and she stands up on their sofa, exclaiming: "Oh, god damn."
Wife Catherine then intervenes by saying: "Austin just starting working out, can you guys tell?"
That's pretty weird, mate.
Did Austin McBroom buy a minor adult candy from a sex shop?
This is not the first time McBroom has come under fire.
Social media hit out at him last year for taking Catherine Piaz's younger sister to a sex shop.
He proceeded to buy her a phallic-shaped lollipop.
Clearly, there isn't much going on upstairs for McBroom - and as a father himself, why does he think this is appropriate to film, and then post to social media for the world to see? Weird.
Last year, fellow YouTube star Cole Carrigan accused McBroom of sexual assault in a now-deleted video titled 'The Truth About The Ace Family'.
McBroom defended himself by stating that Carrigan's video was defamatory and that he would be taking legal action against him.

The former NCAA basketball player is estimated to be worth a whopping $5m, which makes sense considering the success of their family's channel.

Now jumping on the bandwagon is TikTok star Bryce Hall and YouTuber Austin McBroom - who were seen promoting their upcoming fight on Tuesday when the event took a chaotic turn.
Much like Jake Paul's scuffle with Floyd Mayweather two weeks prior, the press room turned into an all-out brawl, and the broadcast ended shortly thereafter.
As McBroom was talking, Hall suddenly rushed his opponent, leading to a scuffle between the two.
The two were grabbing ahold of each other as Hall went to the floor, with their teams struggling to separate them.

He went on to play 66 games in two seasons with the Saint Louis Billikens.
He played his fourth season of college basketball with the Eastern Washington Eagles.
His career-high 37 points score came against Northern Colorado in 2016.
