Paris Fury has stood firm in defending her 16-year-old daughter Venezuela’s engagement to boxer Noah Price, after fans voiced their shock at the young couple’s news.
Appearing on ITV’s This Morning, the 35-year-old mother-of-seven was grilled by hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard about whether she believed her daughter was too young to get engaged. But Paris brushed off the criticism, insisting that Venezuela is “very mature” and “knows exactly what she wants in life.”
“She’s very young, yes,” Paris admitted, “but we don’t worry at all. Venezuela has grown up helping me raise her six younger siblings, and she’s shown a level of maturity beyond her years. In the past year, she’s been working on social media, interviews, photoshoots — she’s finding her independence.”
Paris also pointed out that her daughter’s decision mirrors her own love story. “I was 17 when I got engaged to Tyson,” she said. “So how could I judge her? She’s just following in my footsteps. I’ve given her every option in life — she chose this path, and I can’t deny her. If she’s happy, I’ll support her all the way.”
The proud mum confirmed that Venezuela and Noah were in no rush to walk down the aisle. “She’s just enjoying the engagement for now,” Paris said. “There’s no pressure — she just wants to enjoy being in love.”
The engagement was revealed last month when Paris shared a video of Noah getting down on one knee at Venezuela’s glamorous 16th birthday party. The moment split opinion online, but Paris says she and Tyson were “shocked but happy” for their daughter.
During the same This Morning chat, Paris also addressed her brother-in-law Tommy Fury’s relationship with Molly-Mae Hague, saying the couple are “doing great” despite their on-off history.
She went on to speak about her husband Tyson’s retirement, admitting he’s been “restless” since stepping back from boxing but promised her he’d stay retired. “He always says, ‘watch this space’ — so who knows what’s next?” she laughed.
Paris added that Tyson struggled emotionally after the tragic death of his close friend and fellow boxer Ricky Hatton earlier this year. “It really hit him hard,” she shared. “It reminded him how important it is to talk and seek help. He’s come through it stronger, but it was a tough time.”
