Coco credits communication as the secret to their long-lasting marriage.
“Gotta listen to each other, and I know you've heard it before: You do have to conversate,” she said in an October 2025 interview, noting they’re the “best of friends.” “You do have to have conversations over and over and over again. You can't get used to each other.”
Ice-T agreed, “At the end of the day, we just dig each other. It ain’t gonna work no other way trust me.”
How Did the Stars Meet?
Ice-T defended Coco Austin on social media.
A recently resurfaced interview revealed the artist’s hilarious pickup line when he met Coco at a music video shoot in 2001.
"In the words of Iceberg Slim, I struggled to remain calm," he recalled. "So I kept it cool. I said, 'Would you ever consider dating a gangster rapper?'"
"I didn't know what a gangster rapper was," the 46-year-old said. "...And I go, 'Well, if he's nice.'"
"[Then] I go, 'Well, baby, if you take the 'N' off 'Nice,' you get 'Ice,'" Ice-T concluded.
Ice-T said 'getting married is like casting for a movie.'
In 2023, the “Mind Over Matter” singer further opened up about his marriage: "Getting married is like casting for a movie — you gotta pick somebody who's ready for all the scenes. Now, the thing of it is there's gonna be fun scenes, there's gonna be sad scenes, there's gonna be tough scenes, there's gonna be fight scenes, there's gonna be a lot of different scenes. And a lot of people don't sign up for the whole movie, they just sign up for the good part, ya know?"
