In March 2023, Ice revealed that The Osbournes inspired him to marry Austin. The rap pioneer appeared on an episode of That Moment with Daymond JohnHe shared how he figured out when he wanted Coco to be his forever. The “Colors” rapper expressed that the rock power couples’ reality show motivated his decision. “When I was going after Coco, I was watching a lot of The Osbournes,” Ice-T said. “And I was looking like, ‘Would Ozzy have a mansion if it wasn’t for Sharon Osbourne?'”

“This woman is running all the tours, running all his businesses,” Ice continued. “It doesn’t even seem like Ozzy would know how to pay a phone bill. Ozzy is something different. But he’s wealthy because he got a woman to hold it together.”
