Former Playboy model Coco Austin says her marriage to actor and rapper Ice T is “solid” and that they’re the best of friends – this coming after an Twitter photo scandal that Coco found herself in late last year with rapper AP.9, a rival of Ice T’s.

In December last year, photos surpassed on Twitter with Coco smirking at the camera and wrapping her arm around AP.9, while he planted a kiss on her cheek and tunnelled his face in her neck. The photo was taken in Las Vegas, where Coco’s headlining her topless show, Peepshow, and angered Ice T, which almost cost them their marriage. Coco later issued an apology on Twitter and explained to ZAlebs, that she learnt a valuable lesson from that experience.

“I definitely will be more careful in who I take photos with and also make sure that what I put out on social media, won’t harm me or anyone close to me. That was a mistake and Ice and I worked through that and we’re good! He is my best friend and we just celebrated our 12^th anniversary recently – we’re going strong,” she explained.

Ice Loves Coco, which chronicles the busy personal and work lives of this popular celebrity couple, takes a whole new look into Coco’s rise of fame as a celebrity. From the début showing of the Licious line during Fashion Week, to the new Club Spartacus business venture and the lead role in Peepshow in Las Vegas, Coco’s star is rapidly on the rise, after almost spending most her marriage in the shadow of Ice T’s popular acting and music career.

“This season is going to be a blast. Fashion Week was such a big moment for me, to have my own designs previewed on the runway at Fashion Week is an accomplishment I am most proud of,” she admitted.

Coco who is performing in Las Vegas till March, said she was enjoying the burlesque show and is also training hard in the gym.

“I’m really loving being in shape and I love working out more and more these days! Ice loves my body and he ain’t complaining one little bit, because the results are showing and I like how my body looks now.”

As for having children any time soon, Coco said she is “very keen” to add “a little Coco” to the family. “Right now, it’s not the right time for Ice and I to start planning a baby but we’re both keen have a family – even if it’s just one kid. In two to three years from now, I’d like to think about starting a family, as one of the world’s greatest gifts is bringing a child into the world bearing your genes and heritage.”
