Coco and Ice T have been married for 24 years ❤️
In the world of Hollywood relationships, where “forever” often lasts about three years, Coco Austin and Ice-T are the undisputed champions of consistency.
As of January 2026, you are spot on: the couple is officially celebrating 24 years of marriage (and a quarter-century together). They marked their 24th anniversary just a few weeks ago on New Year’s Day 2025, proving that their “unstoppable momentum” is still going strong.
The Secret to Their 24-Year Run
While many people initially wrote them off as an “odd couple” when they met in 2001, they’ve become one of the most stable pairs in the industry. According to their recent 2025/2026 interviews and social media posts, their longevity comes down to a few key rules:
-
The “New Year’s Anniversary” Tradition: They famously tied the knot on New Year’s Eve/Day in 2002. This means every year the whole world celebrates their anniversary with them.
-
Radical Support: Whether it’s Ice-T defending Coco against “parenting police” on social media or Coco being front-row at every Law & Order: SVU event, they operate as a unified front.
-
Maintaining the “Sexy”: Both Ice and Coco are vocal about keeping the romance alive. In their 24th-anniversary posts, they used the hashtag #WeKeepItSexy, emphasizing that physical attraction and “date nights” are non-negotiable for them.
-
Parenthood: Their 10-year-old daughter, Chanel Nicole, has become the center of their world, often appearing in their matching family outfits that go viral every holiday season.
