Rapper and actor Ice T is about to become a father again, at the age of 57: he and 36-year-old wife Coco are expecting their first child together, it has emerged. Confirmation from the couple is still pending, but both Us Weekly and TMZ say that it won’t be long until it comes.

Ice T and Coco have been married for 15 years, and would often squabble in front of reality TV cameras over her desire to have children - and his reluctance to go through the experience again, at his age.

Coco is pregnant, at last

Us Weekly and TMZ confirm the pregnancy, saying that Coco has been struggling to conceive for a while. In 2012, for instance, she was shown on Ice Loves Coco, their reality show, breaking down when she was told she had an issue with blood pressure that would make it difficult for her to carry a pregnancy to term.

She vouched she would get healthy, and last year, she admitted that she’d celebrated her 35th birthday by going on prenatal vitamins.

All this time, Ice T reminded her that he already had 2 children from previous relationships, and even a 20-year-old grandson. The time for changing diapers had gone for him, he seemed to tell her.

This said, it’s no wonder that both media outlets mentioned above use “at last” and “finally” to describe the pregnancy: Coco has been dreaming of starting her own family with Ice for a very long time, and she’s getting to see her dream come true now.

No official confirmation yet

Neither Coco nor Ice T has been available for comment on the alleged pregnancy as of the time of writing, but it shouldn’t be long until they say something. Word of this is spreading fast in the blogosphere, so whether it’s true or not, they will want to set the record straight.

Assuming Coco really is pregnant, celebrity bloggers are already trying to predict her pregnancy style, since she is a woman who cleans the house in high heels and skimpy outfits, and her red carpet style is best described as revealing - uncomfortable too, but mostly revealing.

Coco hasn’t said a peep about it on social media, where she usually shares with fans everything from private photos to details about her love life and links to her kinky collection of lingerie.

The consensus is that she’s not yet past the 3-month threshold and that she might want to wait until then to safely announce the pregnancy.
