Chanel Nicole Marrow Is Best Known as Ice-T and Coco Austin’s Daughter

Chanel Marrow is rapper Ice-T and TV personality Coco Austin's daughter. The 6-year-old became famous after her birth, thanks to her adorable posts on social media.

Chanel was born Chanel Nicole Marrow on November 28, 2015, in Englewood, New Jersey. Chanel has her own Twitter and Instagram accounts, and she and her mom, a model, usually wear similar outfits.

When Chanel was a year old, she dressed as a princess during her first birthday party at Sugar Factory, which she celebrated with family and friends.

Besides being a constant fixture in the rap scene and on the big screen, rapper Ice-T, also known as Tracy Lauren Marrow, is a proud husband to his wife, model Coco Austin. He is also a proud dad to his daughter, Chanel Marrow.

Ice-T and Coco have been happily married for 17 years, and their union has become even more joyful since they welcomed their first child together in 2015. Chanel and her famous father share the same physical attributes.

EXPECTING AND GIVING BIRTH TO CHAN

Ice-T and Coco Austin revealed the news they were expecting while taping for their show "Ice and Coco" in July 2015. The pair also announced they were having a baby girl and shared the name they had chosen for her shortly after that.

Chanel is Coco's first child with Ice-T, who's already a father to two grown children, Tracy and Letesha, from his previous relationships. The model was 36 years old when she was pregnant with her first child.

She was reportedly told by doctors her pregnancy could be high-risk, which was because of high blood pressure. Coco then decided to reevaluate her health so her body would be in a "healthy zone."

The mother of one once revealed in an interview with People her plans to raise a stylish daughter and said at the time that Chanel already had a "vast collection of shoes." The new mom said she wanted her baby's lifestyle to be similar to hers and even talked about getting Chanel a nice closet since she also has one.

The TV personality further said she was ready to embrace motherhood as she had done most things in her life regarding her career and was happily married. She said being a mom is another stage in her life, and she couldn't wait to watch a child "running around the house." Coco told People:

"I think I'm in that stage in my life where I need this. I've done everything in my life pretty much career-wise. It's time for me to make this big jump. It's just meant to be."

BREASTFEEDING DISCUSSION

Besides looking alike, Chanel also seems to have inherited her father's fearlessness. Recently, four photos of Chanel were uploaded to her Instagram alongside a message which read:

"Apparently mommy and I have been trending lately... a lot more love than hate but still some mommy shaming out there [sic]!!"

The message comes after online users called out Coco for her decision to continue breastfeeding her five-year-old daughter. It is not the first time the former web personality faced such controversy.

Coco shared that many people have questioned her decision to continue breastfeeding her daughter, but their unsolicited opinions do not matter anymore to the "Ice & Coco" star.

Since her daughter was born, she has been open about her breastfeeding experience. In 2019, Coco posted on Instagram photos of herself nursing then-four-year-old Chanel on board a private plane.

The doting mom shared that the first week after Chanel was born, she had difficulty breastfeeding her. She was on the verge of giving up, but her family told her to hang on for another week.

Coco later overcame the challenge. Years later, Chanel still wants to be breastfed. Even though Coco continues to nurse her child, she feels relieved her daughter eats regular food like steak and hamburgers.

Chanel's adorable appearance in the photos proved she is Ice-T's mini version.

If Chanel does not wish to be breastfed anymore, the doting mom will cease to do so. But when that day comes, Coco would certainly feel sad since she considers breastfeeding her most fulfilling experience.

SOCIAL MEDIA USERS' FEEDBACK ON HER DECISION

However, several social media users felt disturbed by Coco's decision to continue breastfeeding her little girl. Others remarked that the 43-year-old TV star nursing her daughter looked offensive and sexual.

Ice-T flatly denounced online users' harsh remarks toward his wife amid the breastfeeding drama. The protective father reiterated that their daughter also eats solid food.

A statement was also posted on Chanel's Instagram expressing that she is just living her life. Her family lives in a bubble of love, and negative comments do not affect them.

"We're not changing our life for u [sic]," the post read. The four pictures showed the charming little girl smiling and serving serious looks while facing a digital tablet on the table.

Concerned followers suggested that her family should ignore the criticisms. Another noted that people should not shame Coco as she is doing a normal thing, adding, "Breastfeeding is a beautiful journey."

Meanwhile, Coco thanked her supporters, who defended her, saying that to nurse a baby is to provide love and strengthen the bond between mother and child. She also refuses to give haters any of her time.

CHANEL NICOLE MARROW IS ALREADY 6 YEARS OLD!

Chanel Nicole Marrow turned six years old in November 2021. Her doting mom shared a series of images on Instagram from her daughter's photoshoot, which was birthday-themed.

The photos showed Chanel in a colorful dress and matching shoes with the number six next to her. Her background had pastel-colored balloons and fringe, which matched the little one's outfit. The proud mom captioned the post by saying:

"Someone turned 6 yesterday!! Im so proud of how sweet,loving and kind girl she's become ..I couldn't ask for a better daughter. My bestie forever! …@babychanelnicole."

Controversy has followed Coco numerous times due to her parenting style. She once posted a photo of her daughter on Instagram on school picture day, and Chanel was wearing nail extensions. Coco received a lot of backlashes yet again for the post, which she captioned by saying, "For the special occasion, I let Chanel do mini tips to her nails.."

The 43-year-old mom has also been scrutinized for breastfeeding Chanel, who was five then. During an interview with Us Weekly, Coco revealed she was still breastfeeding her daughter and further expressed, "It's a big bonding moment for a mother and your child."

ICE-T AND WIFE COCO AUSTIN SEEN TOGETHER WITH DAUGHTER CHANEL

Well-known rapper Ice-T and 43-year-old television personality Coco Austin were seen with their daughter Chanel during an outing in 2021. The husband and wife attended the special screening of the animated film "PAW Patrol: The Movie" with their baby girl in New York City.

The family of three took cute snaps at the AMC Empire cinema in Times Square in the hallway with a cutout display of the film and character in costume. The film featured voice acting from stars such as Kim Kardashian, Iain Armitage, Yara Shahidi, Dax Shepard, and Randall Park.

In the same way that her bond with Chanel continues to get stronger, Coco's remarkable relationship with her husband has stayed intact through the years. She and the "Law & Order" actor tied the knot in 2005.

In a recent interview, Ice-T revealed that addressing their problems quickly and being able to compromise are among their secrets to a long-lasting marriage.
