Coco Austin and Ice-T are tickled pink (or blue) to reveal that she’s got a blossoming baby bump. Whether it’s a boy or a girl on the way isn’t known, but Coco did share that she’s known she was pregnant for some time, reported Us Weekly .
Austin, 36, and her rapper husband, who also stars on Law & Order: SVU , have been married for 14 years.
“I’ve been pregnant for a while, but we’ve been holding it between us for some time,” revealed Coco.
Austin also dished on her pregnancy details during a taping for their new talk show Ice & Coco . Austin and Ice-T, 57, delighted the audience with their surprise.
“It was a really awesome moment. I cried,” said Coco. “It was a nice feeling to know that the world knows and I don’t have to hide it.”
The duo’s talk show will debut August 3, but Austin and Ice-T also starred together in a reality TV show, Ice Loves Coco .
Three years ago, Austin was shown on the show crying when she was told that she could not get pregnant safely because of dangerously high blood pressure. However, last year Coco successfully improved her health and began a regime of prenatal vitamins.
The new talk show, Ice & Coco , will include the progress of Austin’s pregnancy.

“[We’ll share] all the juicy details: How far along I am, the gender,” promised Coco.
Austin also revealed how she feels about her pregnancy.
“It’s beautiful how life actually works. Now that I have a little thing inside of me moving around, it’s amazing.”
And Ice-T thanked fans for their support.
“We want to say thank you to everyone for the overwhelming LOVE you are sending us! We appreciate you,” he said.
As the Inquisitr reported, Today style editor Bobbie Thomas has discussed her own pregnancy problems. She recently welcomed her first baby boy.
Before Thomas had her baby boy, she went through four cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF), as well as a variety of visits to physicians and hormone shots.
Although this is Coco’s first baby, Austin’s husband has two adult children and a 20-year-old grandson from earlier relationships.
However, Coco and Ice-T have been indulgent with their dogs, Spartacus and Maximus, reported MSN .
And although they doted on their dogs, Austin confessed that she felt pressured in the past to get pregnant.
“There’s a lot of peer pressure for me. It’s not just my family that’s giving it, it’s the world … When the time’s right, I will.”
Ice-T emphasized that it was Coco’s decision.
“At the end of the day, it’s Coco’s call. She puts in the order and I can do the deed,” said the rapper.
