During a November 9, 2025 episode on “The Dumb Blonde Podcast,” Austin talked about breastfeeding her daughter, Chanel until she was six years old.

“It wasn’t like I was feeding her because she needed a meal… She was able to eat by a year, full solids. It was more of a bonding experience. More of like, ‘Okay, I’ll give you the milk,’ but it was more that she wanted to be around me,” the 47-year-old revealed.

“She’s not going to be 16 on my boob. She’s eventually going to figure out that this is kind of strange or weird and stop. And that happened around 6—which was still an extremely long time,” the American television personality explained.
