The actor is also father to an adult daughter, , 48, and an adult son, , 32, from previous relationships and has spoken publicly about how different it is raising a child later in life.

“I think the difference with Chanel and my other kids is I’m very conscious of this baby,” Ice-T explained on a May 2023 episode of the podcast, “That Moment With Daymond John.”

“I had my [first] daughter when I was in high school. I was ripping and running, so it was present over presence,” he said on the podcast. “I wasn’t there. My son … happened right when I was becoming Ice-T. You know, I’d never been famous before, this was a whole new thing, so I’m distracted by that [at the time]. Chanel, I’m comfortable. I’m in a cruise pattern.”
