Ice-T and wife Coco Austin celebrated their daughter Chanel’s 8th birthday on Tuesday. The proud parents took to their respective Instagram pages to send wishes to their little girl.
Coco took to Instagram to express her mixed emotions on her daughter’s birthday, posting adorable new photos of Chanel. The images capture the not-so-little girl posing confidently, showcasing her vibrant personality.
“Im happy/sad today… Chanel turned 8!! Do I cry or smile? I dont know.. I remember her moving around in my belly like it was yesterday.. Im so proud of what a beautiful sweet loving girl she’s become..”
She continued, “Happy Birthday to @babychanelnicole. I love you soooooooooooooooooooo much!! Its amazing how much love you can have for a little human being.”
Ice-T joined in the celebration by posting four pictures of his daughter. The snapshots included a cute throwback of Chanel as a baby, sporting a black Chanel T-shirt and adorable red heart-shaped sunglasses.
In his birthday message, the “Law and Order: SVU” actor marveled at how quickly time has flown, exclaiming, “Happy Birthday @BabyChanelworld You’re 8yrs old today! Wow.. so fast!”
The rapper and actor recently opened up about his unconventional approach to parenting. Ice-T emphasized that the parenting style of him and Coco differs from the norm.
“We do our parenting,” he said. “I think the thing of it is, it’s Ice-T and Coco. Our parenting is a lot different than the normal, square couple from Oklahoma. I’m a f—ing rock star, it’s different.”
Comparing their family dynamic to the iconic Osbournes, Ice-T asserted that while their household may have a distinct flair, it’s not harmful.
“We’re like the Osbournes,” he said. “We have a different dynamic in our house. But it’s not harmful. That’s the main thing. It’s us.”
