Many of her followers were quick to point out the resemblance between her younger self andher 7-year-old daughter Chanel, whom she shares withIce-T.
Austin and Chanellove a matching moment. Last July, the mom and daughter hada twinning momentthat Austin shared to Instagram. On the Fourth of July, Austin posted a carousel of photos of her and Chanel wearing matching red, white and blue dresses, and wrote, “We’re always looking for an excuse to match.” “#momanddaughterduo,” she added.
Last Month,Ice-T talked about how close he is to Chanel, sharing that their bond is stronger than the ones he has with his other children, Tracy Jr., 31, with ex-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz, and daughter, LeTesha, 47, whom he shares with his high school girlfriend Adrienne.
“I am so much more connected to her than my other kids,” he said on theThat Moment with Daymond John podcast, explaining that he was “distracted” while raising his two older kids during his music career. He said his work-life balance today is more “comfortable.”
“I’m in a cruise pattern. I was there when Coco was pregnant, I went to the hospital, and Chanel still sleeps in the bed with us,” he shared, adding that raising Chanel with Austin “made me want to live forever.”
“It made me create new goals,” he said. “It’s the best gift I could ever get.”
Austin frequently shares moments from their life with Chanel on social media. In mid-May sheshared that Chanel is quite the iPhone photographer.
