Austin and her seven-year-old daughter, Chanel, recently enjoyed a vacation in Hollywood, Florida, where they wowed fans with their matching swimwear while posing hand-in-hand in the pool.
Despite facing previous criticism for a TikTok dance routine deemed inappropriate, the mother and daughter duo seemed keen to show that they are all about family fun and making lasting memories.
During their sunny getaway, Austin flaunted her enviable figure in a hot pink fuchsia thong bikini that put her sexiness on full display. Her adorable daughter, Chanel, followed suit by donning a two-piece swimsuit in the same vibrant color, showcasing their stylish coordination.
To complete her sizzling ensemble, Austin accessorized with pink-tinted shades that added a touch of glamour to her look. On the other hand, Chanel opted for quirky round shades, showcasing her individuality and youthful spirit.
Coco Austin Was Slammed For 'Inappropriate' Dance Video With Chanel
Back in April, Austin shared another mother-and-daughter moment, uploading at the time a clip of her and Chanel dancing.
However, critics quickly slammed the clip as "inappropriate" and sought to question the model's ability to raise her kid.
The 44-year-old was seen dancing closely with her daughter in the video to the beat of Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" remix.

One scene shows her moving her leg toward Chanel, who subsequently makes two playful attempts to strike her mother twice.
Austin captioned the video, "Chanel always makes me do these weird dances I just go with it. I stole this from her phone to show you. Lol. #mommydaughter #dynamicduo."
Shortly after the upload, one fan commented, "It is not appropriate for a little girl or her mother."
Another follower said, "How sad that that is the new training of parents to children, and worse, that is celebrated by the rest of society, that is why the world is the way it is."

Despite being hounded by critics, Austin has remained resilient and unapologetic in showing off that she and her daughter have a loving and close bond.
Last month, she took to her Instagram page to share two pictures of her and the kid in honor of Mother's Day.
In one of the shots, the "Ice Loves Coco" star could be seen gazing lovingly at her daughter while placing her hand under the child's chin. Channel returned the look with a cute smile and posed with her right hand on her hip.
A second shot captured the mother-daughter duo staring at the camera and posing cutely. They both wore knee-length gowns, although Austins' own was a little racy as it showed off the fullness of bosom.
The model captioned the upload, "This gift that us mothers are given is undescribable .. There are no words, just the bursting feeling of eternal love."
Ice-T Speaks On His Relationship With Daughter Channel
Just like Austin, Ice-T also shares a close bond with Chanel and recently noted that the connection is stronger than the ones he has with his other children, daughter, LeTesha, 47, whom he shares with his high school girlfriend Adrienne, and Tracy Jr., with ex-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz.
"I am so much more connected to her than my other kids," he said on the "That Moment with Daymond John" podcast, per People magazine.
He continued by saying that he could not devote himself fully to raising his older children because of his music career. However, he now has a "comfortable" work-life balance, which accounts for his connection to Chanel.
"I'm in a cruise pattern. I was there when Coco was pregnant, I went to the hospital, and Chanel still sleeps in the bed with us," he shared, adding that raising Chanel was the "best gift I could ever get."
