Ice-T’s Daughter Chanel Twins With Her Dad in New Look-Alike Photo

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to Ice-T and his look-alike daughter, Chanel. Fans couldn’t get over how much the two were mirror images of each other in a new photo where they twinned in matching outfits.
Ice-T, 66, — whose real name is Tracy Lauren Marrow — shared a snapshot showing each wearing black outfits as they sat atop equipment boxes backstage at a show on Monday, January 20.
The Law & Order: SVU star was decked out in a black jacket and knee-length pants, along with black high tops and a matching baseball cap. Chanel, 9, donned a black tank top and leggings, along with black Adidas sneakers.
“At some point you realize there’s someone watching every move you make……” Ice-T wrote in the caption, as fans gushed over how Chanel has grown into her dad’s mini-me.
“Them genes are strong!” one user wrote, while another commented, “Your looks. Dimples. Adorable.”
“She’s your mini!! So adorable!” a third fan cheered, as a fourth added, “Like my grandma in Cleveland used to say: ‘It’s like he spit her out!’”
While many followers wrote how Chanel — whom Ice-T shares with wife Coco Austin — was his “twin,” several noted what a doting dad he is.
“It’s great that no joke Ice T been the definition of hardcore, but the hardest dudes turn into a mush for their kids. God bless bro. Always sending u and the fam those good vibes. That’s a great pic,” one of the star’s Instagram followers gushed.



In addition to Chanel, Ice-T has two adult children. He welcomed daughter LeTesha Marrow in 1976 with his then-high school girlfriend, Adrienne. In 1991, Ice-T welcomed his son, Tracy Marrow Jr., with his then-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz.
Ice-T and Coco, 45, married in 2002. She gave birth to Chanel on November 28, 2015.
The New Jack City actor has spoken out over the years about how becoming a dad again later in life had a profound effect on him.
“Muhammad Ali said it best, ‘When a man has a child in the second half of his life, after 50, it resets his life,’” Ice-T revealed on V-103’s Big Tigger Morning Show in March 2023. “It started my life over.”
He continued, “I got back healthy, now I’m back in the gym, I’m looking good, sharp, I’m strong. I’ve got to live. I can’t go nowhere. I’ve got to keep chasing these bags. I got a baby girl.”
Ice-T and Coco have been generous with sharing photos and videos of Chanel as she’s grown up. The couple manage their daughter’s Instagram account, which has more than 445,000 followers as of January 2025.
“It’s fun and she likes doing it. If she didn’t, we definitely wouldn’t do it,” Ice-T told People in August 2023. “When Chanel was born, we got her social media because we knew that we were gonna be the parents that were gonna show a hundred pictures of their kid because we were proud.”
He added, “I didn’t want to put it all on my page, because then I’d be that dad that’s always showing pictures of his kids. So, we … got her a page, that way if people want to watch our child grow, they can. We’re not afraid of anything happening. People will say, ‘don’t show her face.’ We’re not concerned with that.”
