AceShowbiz - Ice-T has revealed the secret behind his long-lasting marriage to Coco Austin. The "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star, who has been married to the actress since 2022, divulged that it's "jungle sex" that kept them together over two decades.
"Jungle sex," the 65-year-old told E! News in an exclusive interview at the "Law & Order: SVU" 25th Anniversary Celebration Red Carpet on Tuesday, January 16. "That flame has to stay lit."
"When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore," the actor continued. "You have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary."
Ice-T, however, noted that sexual intercourse is not the only factor in maintaining a successful marriage. "I think Coco and I are teammates," he said. "We have to be teammates, not opponents, not assets, not liabilities. I value what she brings to me, and I think it's vice versa. We appreciate each other."
In a previous interview with the outlet, Ice-T said "getting married is like casting for a movie." He went on to explain, "You got to pick somebody who's ready for all the scenes. Now, there's gonna be fun scenes. There's gonna be sad scenes. There's gonna be tough scenes. There's gonna be fight scenes."
Ice-T and Coco share 7-year-old daughter Chanel together. The couple often spark chatter with their "different" parenting, but the rapper told PEOPLE that he's proud of it.
"I think the thing of it is, it's Ice-T and Coco," he additionally told the publication in August 2023. "Our parenting is a lot different than the normal, square couple from Oklahoma. I'm a f**king rock star, it's different."
