Tyson and Paris Fury are soon to have seven children, with the newest member of the family expected in September 2023.
Fury’s eldest daughter, Venezuela, is 13 and was born on September 27, 2009. On the show, the teen told the crew that she gets along “quite well” with her father, even though she thinks he’s “really strict.”
She revealed that Fury was recently mad at her when she wore a mini dress. She explained, “He just doesn’t like me wearing makeup and looking nice.”
Adding: “Strict parents raise sneaky kids.”
His youngest daughter, Athena, got off to a rocky start when she was born in intensive care on August 8, 2021.
Sticking to the geographical theme, the two share another daughter named Valencia, aged five.
Speaking about the decision behind his daughter’s names, he shared The guard in 2011 that he invented them.
He said, “One night, as I was sleeping, I thought of Venezuela. My wife’s name is Paris. I’m Tyson and (gestures to his son) his name is Prince John James.
“If the girl had a normal name, it wouldn’t fit, would it? I wanted to name the boy Patrick, but the woman wouldn’t.’
