Ice-T has been happily married for more than 20 years — and he says people constantly want to know his secret.
On Wednesday (Aug. 27), the rapper and actor, who’s been married to Coco Austin for 25 years, hopped on X to reveal the question he gets asked the most: marriage advice.
“Sometimes people ask me marriage advice… Cause I’ve been happily married for 25 years,” he wrote. “My answer? ‘I know how to be married to ‘MY’ wife… Not yours…’ Lol.”
Who is Ice-T’s wife?
Ice-T is married to Coco Austin (born Nicole Natalie Austin). After marrying the rapper, she took his last name, Marrow. Coco made her mark as a swimsuit and lingerie model, worked at the Playboy Mansion, and appeared in several films.
How long have Ice-T and Coco been married?
The two have been together for over 24 years, celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary in January 2025.
“Happy Anniversary to the love of my life,” Coco shared in a New Year’s Day post. “MY heart MY soul MY everything! I love you #24yearsanniversary #newyears2025.”
Ice-T also marked the milestone with his own post: “Today is @Coco and my 24th Anniversary. Yep… We keep it Sexy.”
How did Ice-T and Coco meet?
They first crossed paths through a mutual friend on the set of a music video. Despite busy schedules keeping them in a long-distance relationship at first, they made it official in Las Vegas on January 1, 2001. Ten years later, they renewed their vows on their reality show Ice Loves Coco.
What have they said about keeping their marriage strong?
In an interview with E! News last year, Coco credited intimacy as the glue in their relationship. “I would say good and healthy is three times a week. I think that’s good after 23 years,” she revealed. Ice-T agreed, adding, “When you first get with somebody, you want to have sex, right? If that ever ends, it’s a wrap. When that feeling goes away, forget about it.”
Do Ice-T and Coco have kids?
Yes — they share one daughter, Chanel Nicole, born in 2015. Ice-T also has two older children from previous relationships: his daughter LeTesha Marrow, born in 1976 with high-school girlfriend Adrienne, and his son Ice Tracy Marrow Jr., born in 1991 with Darlene Ortiz.
