Nicole Coco Austin — Biography
Nicole Natalie Austin, widely recognized as Coco, was born on March 17, 1979, in Tarzana, California. As the eldest child in her family, she has one younger sister and three younger brothers. Coco is particularly noted for her prominent physical features, including her voluptuous figure, and is the wife of rapper Ice-T, whom she married in 2002. Throughout her career, Austin has appeared in a variety of magazines, notably Playboy, a renowned men's magazine celebrated for its nude content.
Coco's early life saw her relocating to Albuquerque, New Mexico, shortly after her birth. She displayed an enthusiasm for dancing and sports during her childhood, influenced by her mother who introduced her to stage dancing before she reached her teenage years. In the mid-1990s, Austin ventured into modeling competitions, eventually winning the Miss Ujena 1997 fitness competition at the age of 18. This achievement propelled her into a series of swimsuit contests, calendars, videos, and catalog work. Additionally, she obtained a professional massage therapist license while in college.
In 2001, she briefly worked with Playboy at various events and has also modeled for publications like XXL, Smooth, and King. More recently, she launched her own publication, Coco Magazine, featuring pictorials. Since 2002, Coco has appeared in numerous low-budget films and, in June 2011, she and Ice-T starred in the E! reality show Ice Loves Coco. By December 2012, she took on a leading role in the burlesque production Peepshow at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, committing to perform until her contract's conclusion in September 2013. In May 2013, she announced her participation in the 2014 film Think Like a Man Too.
Coco underwent breast augmentation in 1997, enhancing her size to a DD cup. She had previously been married to Eddie Williams in 1999, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2003. On December 31, 2005, she wed the well-known actor and rapper Tracy "Ice-T" Marrow. Known affectionately as Ice-T's “hot wife,” Coco enjoys showcasing her figure in alluring outfits. In a notable appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2005, she wore a daring black dress with cutouts that exposed her nipples.
While she proudly claims her large buttocks are natural, Coco faced some controversy during her career. In late 2012, an incident involving West Coast rapper Bishop "AP.9" Shakur surfaced when he posted intimate photographs with Coco on Instagram. Although these images were ultimately removed, Ice-T voiced his discontent on Twitter, prompting Coco to label the photos as "poor taste" and to refer to Shakur as a groupie. The situation escalated when Shakur later disclosed to Star Magazine that he had an affair with Austin, claiming they had unprotected relations. Despite the scandal, Coco continued her work in
