Coco Austin and her daughter Chanel, eight, posed in matching swimwear for six new images shared to Instagram on Sunday.
The 45-year-old model wife of Law & Order: SVU actor Ice-T, 66, wore a pink-and-purple two piece suit next to her only child who had on something very similar.
The two held hands and Chanel sat on Coco’s shoulders while in their swimwear at the Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas.
‘A little rain in Bahamas didn’t stop Chanel and I to go out to the pool!’ wrote the model in her caption.
‘We create our own energy – rain or shine we still got to rock our traditional twinning swimsuits ʙικιɴιs – @fedeswimwear.’ The hashtags were for twinning, dynamic duo, mommy and me, mom life, besties and twinning is winning.
Some followers found the mother/daughter modeling session ‘adorable’ but others were not so thrilled.

One said: ‘Why is no one weirded out that she’s doing a booty sH๏τ with her daughter in the pH๏τo that’s hella weird.’
Another offered: ‘Time to make your adorable daughter the focus of pH๏τos. Ya gotta know when to fold em.’
Then there was a follower who explained why it was a good thing.
‘Some may view this negatively, but as someone with degrees in psychology, I see it differently,’ began the fan.
‘Coco is instilling self-confidence in her daughter by openly showing the world who she is, contrasting with those who only complain in small circles.
‘This little girl will enter every room with her head held high, fully aware of her value. That’s why I see as one of the most influential figures.
‘Coco, be proud—your daughter will never walk with her head down. You’re equipping her with self-esteem and confidence to embrace her individuality as she grows. This foundation will empower her to choose relationships that truly honor her worth.’

There was also a big fan in the mix: ‘Honestly LOVED that picture of you squatting with her pretty much sitting on your lap, that just shows that you can still be you even with a child. You can still be wild and do your thing, and she gets to stay a kid and still hangout with and pose with her momma. I love this so much, hope yall had a good time!!!’
Coco showed off her cleavage, midriff and derriere as she and her daughter pulled similar poses, standing hand-in-hand.
The pair also posed with their legs identically jutted out, on their knees in the pool and taking in the scenic views.
And both the girls wore their hair in matching braids.
The blonde bombshell had her daughter Chanel with rapper Ice-T – real name Tracy Lauren Marrow – in 2015 after the couple had been married for 13 years.
In April 2023 Coco took to Instagram to share a dance clip of her and Chanel, which was swiftly slammed by critics as ‘inappropriate.’
The model – who also faced backlash for a Christmas video of Chanel twerking – shared a post that saw her and the child dancing side-by-side to the tune of a Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Boom Boom Pow’ remix.
