Ice-T and Coco Austin share the simple secrets behind their 23-year marriage, proving their connection is rooted in friendship, laughter, and everyday love

At Heidi Klum's Halloween bash in NYC's Hard Rock Hotel, Ice-T and Coco Austin showed their bond goes way deeper than matching outfits. The pair, married for more than 20 years, opened up to E! News about how they've managed to stick together so long. Instead of chasing romance trends, Ice-T said he follows wisdom from an older guy who taught him love means picking each other every day. Ice T said (Via E! News):

"I actually heard a 86-year-old man say that and I stole it, I said, 'That’s kind of what it is.' I think you just got to stay in love. How simple is that?"

Meanwhile, Coco stressed talking regularly - not just when problems hit - so things don't go flat over time. She pointed out their close connection stems from how much they mirror each other, especially in temperament and how they joke around. Coco said:

"Gotta listen to each other, and I know you've heard it before: You do have to conversate. You do have to have conversations over and over and over again. You can't get used to each other...  At the end of the day, we just dig each other. It ain't gonna work no other way trust me... We're the best of friends."

Even with their teasing comments and easygoing take on wedlock, Ice-T and Coco showed there's real depth in their bond - one built on camaraderie, shared giggles, but also steadfast regard for each other.
