While most users agree that Chanel bears a striking resemblance to her famous father, at least one of the rapper’s followers said the child looks more like her mother. “She looks exactly like Coco here,” wrote “Island_primadonna.”

Chanel’s mother has also shared photos of her daughter

Austin, who has been Marrow’s wife since 2002, hasn’t been shy about sharing pictures of the couple’s adorable daughter. Always a fashion enthusiast, Austin’s photos with Chanel in matching outfits are fan-favorites.

On August 1, Austin shared a photo taken at the Grand Rapids Airport as she traveled with Chanel, and the mother and child sported identical outfits, making Austin’s fans showering the post with comments and likes.

The same month, the model uploaded a slideshow portraying herself and Chanel in a pool wearing matching blue, white, and pink swimsuits while posing in different ways in what seemed to be a very fun summer day.

Austin still breastfeeds her 2-year-old

On August 17, Austin revealed in an interview with E! News that she still breastfed Chanel, explaining that she does it more for psychological comfort than for nutrition, something that some people find controversial.

When asked about whether she and her husband, who has two older children from previous relationships, had plans to keep expanding the family, she answered negatively, citing her busy schedule and Chanel’s jealousy.

"It's so weird because Chanel still breastfeeds, she still nurses...every time I hold a baby and the baby is close to my boob, she goes, 'My boob!'" Austin shared.

According to the 39-year-old, most people are supportive of her practice of breastfeeding her daughter at that unusual age, but she has also faced attacks from those that disagree with the way she raises her child.

In July, Coco uploaded a photo of Chanel peacefully resting on her mother’s breasts in what seemed to be a post-breastfeeding session.

In the caption, Austin said that she felt inspired by Instagram accounts that she followed and made her understand the powerful image of a mother sharing intimately with her children, nursing or not.

“I love that I can be a part of that. @babychanelnicole has made me a more sensitive person now that I’m older,” added Austin, mentioning what appears to be Chanel’s own Instagram account.

A long and successful marriage

Even though in the past Austin and Marrow had been the subject of rumors regarding a possible divorce and infidelities, Austin says they are a very “tight family” and that they have a simple “secret” to make it work.

“It’s really cheesy, and it really works, and it’s communication. It really is communication,” she said in an interview on the HollywoodLife Podcast with Bonnie Fuller.

“You think there’s some magical word here, but the thing is, you constantly grow no matter what age you are, and if you’re not communicating every day, you’re going to grow away from each other,” she reflected.

“But, if you’re communicating every single day, and you’re on the same page, you’re going to grow as one,” added Austin.
