The California native — who shares Chanel with her husband, Ice-T — explained to Us Weekly in September 2019 that people “need to have a baby to understand” why she continues to breastfeed.

“It’s about giving love to your child and bonding with your child and also giving them good nutrition,” Austin explained. “Breast milk is like liquid gold. All around, it’s a good thing.”

She continued, “What I think confuses people is they saw the picture and they think Chanel doesn’t eat food. And she eats cheeseburgers. She only breast-feeds … like, when she cries [and] she just wants to get close to her mama. She throws the boob out and … holds on. She’s not doing it for nourishment. This chick eats chili fries, OK?”

Austin and Ice-T, 62, tied the knot in 2005 and welcomed Chanel in 2015. The rapper is also the father of daughter Letesha, 44, and son Tracy, 28, from previous relationships.

As Chanel gets older she’s started to become just as interested in fashion as her mother. Austin told Us in September 2019 that her daughter already has more than 100 pairs of shoes.

“She’s catching up [to me],” she said at the time. “But I have to say, when she throws on her little dresses, I have been having to say, ‘You have to match your dress to your shoes,’ and now she’s getting it. Now she’s picking out her own shoes at 3 years old.”
