Coco Austin and daughter, Chanel
Jim Spellman/Getty ImagesCoco Austin and her daughter Chanel are friends – and they have the same ensembles to prove it.
Austin, 45, took to social media on Sunday, October 27, to share the latest installment of his family's poolside tradition, which includes Austin and daughter Chanel, 8, in matching swimwear.
Sharing a series of snaps on Instagram of her and her mini-me frolicking amongst the lush poolside gardens, Austin is seen wearing a lilac pair with hot pink detailing. Chanel appears to be wearing a minimal interpretation, complete with matching neon strings and ties.
Austin, who shared Chanel with her husband Ice-Tcaptioned the carousel, “A little rain in the Bahamas didn't stop me and Chanel from hitting the pool! We're building our own energy – come rain or shine we still have to rock our classic twin swimsuits.”
The TV host then added the hashtags, “#twinning #dynamicduo #mommyandme #momlife #besties #twinningiswinning,” to her post.
The carousel also included photos of the couple holding hands while looking at the camera, plus Chanel sitting on her mother's shoulders and on one of her laps with Austin's back turned.
The family tradition dates back to 2017 when Austin shared photos of himself and Chanel, then 13 months old, in matching blue and black bikinis. At the time, Chanel even sported a matching headband.
Subsequent iterations have proved equally fun, including a 2023 matchup in which Austin and Chanel wore black-and-white striped swimsuits ahead of the child's debut as a model at New York Fashion Week.
It looks like Chanel is destined for a bright career after she also showed interest in following in her father's acting footsteps a few months ago.
Coco Austin and Ice-T have sparked backlash for their parenting decisions multiple times — and they're never shy about defending themselves against trolls. The couple, who married in 2002, welcomed their daughter, Chanel, in 2015. Ice-T is also the father of two children from a previous relationship: Letesha, born in 1976, with whom he lives. […]
Austin shared pictures of his daughter on the set of Law & Order: SVUthe long-running crime drama Ice-T, 66, shared on Instagram on August 2.
“Oh no @babychanelnicole is taking over @nbclaworder!!” Austin joked in the caption accompanying the post. “Watch out for directors, cameramen and even Olivia Benson's location! Don't sleep on this chick! He does everything!”
Chanel looked at home on the Instagram carousel as she was snapped sitting behind the camera, in the director's chair and at the desk of the show's leading lady Olivia Benson, played by. Mariska Hargitay.
