Ice-T Has 2-Word Message to Critics of His & Coco Austin's Parenting
Ice-T, Coco Austin’s Daughter Chanel Walks NYFW Runway at Just 10 Years Old
Ice-T doesn't need to block out the noise.
Because at the end of the day, he isn't even thinking about his and Coco Austin's haters. So, when it comes to how he feels about online critics weighing in on celebrity parenting, the dad of 10-year-old Chanel had a simple response, exclusively telling E! News at Heidi Klum’s 25th Annual Halloween Party, "F--k 'em."
That frame of mind is all the couple needs to keep the focus on what matters: Their daughter. Especially as she embarks on a special milestone in November.
“She’s about the turn 11,” Austin—who was dressed as a what Ice-T described as a “very successful” cat burglar to his burglar—explained at the party presented by Apothic and Butterfinger at Cathédrale in New York City. “So, she wants a party that’s her angel numbers 11: 11, because she’s turning 11 and she’s born on the month 11.”
Of course, her golden birthday is just the latest major moment in Chanel’s life as a busy September included her showcasing her moves at Rookie Kids Runway on Broadway fashion show as part of New York Fashion Week.

And much like his daughter, Ice-T (real name Tracy Lauren Morrow) remains booked and busy, especially as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit prepares to reach 600 episodes during its 28th season.
As it does so, the long-running procedural is welcoming some familiar faces—from Christopher Meloni’s Detective Elliot Stabler to Stephanie March’s Assistant District Attorney Alex Cabot. Not to mention new faces like, NBA superstar—and Mariska Hargitay’s BFF—Jalen Brunson.
“We had Stephanie March on there yesterday,” Ice-T teased to E! of life on-set of the long-running procedural. Chris came back for an episode. It's like they're going through all the different people from the seasons, but it's cool. We're having a great one.”
As for Brunson, Ice-T—also dad to LeTesha, 50, and Tracy Jr., 34, from previous relationships— sha didn’t get to work opposite the New York Knicks player, but he was more than psyched for his longtime costar.
“Mariska became a member of the Knicks, and it was good,” Ice-T emphasized. “I can't wait to see him act as a detective.”
Austin and Ice-T were just a few of the stars who stole the show at Klum’s annual Halloween bash. For all the celebs who brought the spooky stuff, keep reading…
