Being a supportive wife and doting mother aren’t mutually exclusive for Nicole “Coco” Austin.
The new mom took to Instagram to show off her juggling skills with a cute picture of her holding daughter Chanel in a Baby K’tan sling while attending husband Ice T‘s performance at the Art of Rap festival in Brooklyn on Friday.
“I’m a babywearing mommy and proud of it!” Austin, 37, captioned the photo. “Even at my [man’s] performances.”

Coco Austin is enjoying her first vacation with her 5-month-old daughter Chanel Nicole.
The new mom graced Instagram with even more photos of her and Chanel both donning matching bikinis on Saturday and Monday.

They said ‘I do’ more than a decade ago, but Ice T and Nicole “Coco” Austin made the decision to wait to expand their family.
“There were a lot of things I wanted to complete before having a baby,” Austin tells PEOPLE.
From starring in the Las Vegas striptease spectacular Peepshow to getting her own E! reality series, Ice Loves Coco, the former fitness model turned entrepreneur says 35 was always the magic number for her.

Ice-T loves being a father to his daughter Chanel, and especially loves to show new photos of the 4-month-old to everyone.
“I’m taking a lot of pictures. I’m that same guy that you go, ‘Oh, my daughter…’ and before I know it I’m showing you pictures. I said that I’m not going to be that guy,” the proud dad told PEOPLE at the 33rd Annual PaleyFest Los Angeles’ “An Evening with Dick Wolf” event on Saturday.
“But now I’m just like, ‘Wait, look,’ and, ‘Wait, look at this one,’ and, ‘Wait a minute, hold up.’ You can’t help it. You’re just happy.”

Coco Austin is wasting no time getting back in shape after welcoming daughter Chanel Nicole — even if that means juggling multiple things at once.
The model shared an Instagram post on Thursday, proving she’s got the whole multi-tasking aspect of motherhood down.
“Real life candid pic.. Training and watching my baby simultaneously,” the 36-year-old said, promoting her waist trainer of choice. “The Coco way. Loving motherhood @waistedbykeke #ad.”
In the pic, the new mom cuddles baby Chanel as she poses in the mirror in nude undergarments and a black trainer, cinching her in at the waist — although she doesn’t need much help considering she only gained 13 lbs during her pregnancy.
