Coco Austin and Daughter Chanel Twin in Matching Bikinis: ‘Our Traditional Twinning Swimsuits’

Coco Austin and her daughter Chanel are besties — and they’ve got the matching ensembles to prove it.

Austin, 45, took to social media on Sunday, October 27, to share the latest instalment of her family’s poolside tradition, which involves Austin and daughter Chanel, 8, sporting matching swimwear.

Sharing a string of Instagram snaps that capture her and her mini-me frolicking amid lush poolside gardens, Austin is seen dressed in a lilac two-piece with hot pink details. Chanel is seen wearing a miniature interpretation, complete with the same neon straps and ties.

Austin, who shares Chanel with husband Ice-T, captioned the carousel, “A little rain in Bahamas didnt stop Chanel and I to go out to the pool! We create our own energy – rain or shine we still got to rock our traditional twinning swimsuits.”

The TV personality then added the hashtags, “#twinning #dynamicduo #mommyandme #momlife #besties #twinningiswinning,” to her post.

The carousel included photos of the pair holding hands while posing for the camera, in addition to Chanel sitting on her mom’s shoulders and atop one of her thighs as Austin is turned from behind.

The family tradition stems back to 2017 when Austin shared photos of herself and Chanel, then just 13 months’ old, in matching blue and black bikinis. At the time, Chanel even sported a matching headband.

Subsequent iterations have proved just as fun, including 2023’s matching moment that saw Austin and Chanel wearing black and white striped swimwear ahead of the youngster’s debut as a model at New York Fashion Week.

Chanel appears to be destined for a career in the limelight after she also showed interest in following in her father’s acting footsteps just a few months ago.

Austin shared photos of her daughter on the set of Law & Order: SVU, the long-running crime drama starring Ice-T, 66, via Instagram on August 2.

“Oh no @babychanelnicole is taking over @nbclawandorder!!” Austin joked in a caption that accompanied the post. “Watch out directors, camera men and even Olivia Benson’s spot! Don’t sleep on this chick! She does it all!”

Chanel looked right at home in the Instagram carousel as she was captured sitting behind the camera, in a director’s chair and also at the desk of the show’s leading lady Olivia Benson, played by Mariska Hargitay.
