"When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore, you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary."
The rapper met Austin on the set of a music video in 2001, and the two tied the knot a few months later. The pair renewed their vows in 2011 and welcomed their first child together, daughter Chanel, in 2015.
Ice-T, born Tracy Marrow, also shares daughter LeTesha Marrow, 47, with his former high school girlfriend Adrienne. He is also father to son Tracy Marrow Jr., whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz.

"Now, there's gonna be fun scenes," Ice-T continued. "There's gonna be sad scenes. There's gonna be tough scenes. There's gonna be fight scenes.
"A lot of people don't sign up for the whole movie. They just sign up for the good part."
Ice-T noted that he and the model are similar and further elaborated on the qualities he appreciates about her.
"The fact of it is, Coco and I are almost like identical," Ice-T told the outlet. "Coco's an outgoing chick. She's borderline exhibitionist. She likes to show herself. She's fun like that.
"I dig that. So, you gotta find somebody who you really like them as themselves."
The actor added that he has often been told Austin is his perfect match.
"People are like, ‘Wow, you found somebody that will really put up with your bull----,'" he said. "That person is perfect for you."
