'He thought someone died!' Coco Austin reveals she scared Ice-T by crying and screaming when she found out she was pregnant

Coco Austin may have overreacted slightly when she learned she was pregnant - and she managed to terrify her husband, Ice-T, in the process. 

'I ran downstairs. He was on the computer and I was bawling, screaming. He thought someone died,' Coco, 36, told People in an interview published on Friday.

Even when the 57-year-old rapper-turned-actor learned it was actually good news, he was 'just as surprised' as his wife.

Get gorgeous in floral-print pumps like Coco

Since it was revealed Coco Austin's pregnant more than a dozen years after she married Ice-T, all eyes have been on the voluptuous 36-year-old reality star of Ice loves Coco. Earlier this week, she made an appearance turned out in a red, sleeveless dress and a gorg pair of floral-printed pumps.

Let's talk about the pumps: We love their subtle, soft painterly print, the pink petals on the toe and the bright blue hue on the left hand side of the heel. Plenty to look at. They are by Manolo Blahnik, the BB floral-print fabric 90mm pump, and can be yours for $695 at Neiman Marcus.

Thankfully, painterly prints have flooded the market both in clothing and in footwear, so we were able to find many more options at all price points.

Ice-T confirmed the pregnancy on Twitter later that day: 'Oh s***! The news is out. YES. We're having a baby.'

'I was so thrown off that our pregnancy happened really fast,' Coco told People of the particulars. 'It happened out of the blue... I was told it was going to take a lot longer.'

The mother-to-be has not revealed anything about the baby's sex or due date, but she did seem to be ecstatic about what was happening.

'You never think it could really happen to you - that you can actually make a human being - and when you do, you're like, wow!' Coco continued

'Your body takes over and does it itself. You're not putting the hands and feet together - your body's cooking it and it's amazing. It's a miracle how life can happen.'

The former swimsuit model insisted that pregnancy was already changing her: 'I'm so not like Coco from a year ago. I'm a totally different Coco.'

Despite suffering no morning sickness or other ill effects thus far, Coco said that she probably would not try for a second pregnancy: 'I've always planned on having one,' she said.
