Paris Fury has revealed her 16-year-old daughter’s ‘determination’ to get engaged to boxer boyfriend Noah Price.
Noah, aged 15, popped the question to Paris and Tyson Fury’s daughter, Venezuela, at her sweet 16th birthday party last month.
Paris, 35, shared the moment Noah proposed via a video to her Instagram account, set to an instrumental version of Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things.
In the clip, East Midlands boxing belt holder Noah climbed down on one knee and proposed – before sliding the ring onto Venezuela’s finger and sharing a kiss with his bride-to-be.
In the caption, Paris wrote: ‘Congratulations to Venezuela Fury and Noah Price on getting engaged. Both only young but when you know you know!’
In a new interview, Paris has revealed how ‘determined’ her daughter was to tie the knot, in spite of her parents’ initial trepidation.
Talking to The Sunday Mirror, Paris revealed: ‘I did encourage her to wait as long as possible, but she was determined.
‘We’re all really happy for her and Noah—they’re a great match and genuinely excited about this next chapter in her life.’
She added: ‘Yes, she’s young, but as we all know, that’s in line with our traditions and values. I was engaged to Tyson at 17, so we’re not far off in age.’
Venezuela and Noah will have to wait a few years, though. While it was previously legal for 16 and 17-year-olds to marry with parental permission in England and Wales, this has now been changed to 18.
As Paris has intimated, the pair seem to be following in the footsteps of Venezuela’s own mum and dad, who started dating at 16 and 17.
In keeping with Paris and Tyson’s Irish traveller heritage, the pair married young – when Paris was 19 and he was 21.
Irish Travellers tend do marry young due to cultural traditions which emphasise family, community, and the belief that marriage is for life.
Paris and Tyson have since renewed their wedding vows three times—with the most recent ceremony taking place this August in the South of France.
Speaking about renewing their vows back in January, Paris told OK!: ‘I don’t want a big ceremony or a big wedding, I’d like something private with just me and him.
‘It’ll be nice to reaffirm our vows. If he had his way he’d have it like a circus – a whole Big Fat Gypsy Wedding again! But I think I’ll go subtle.’
The so-called ‘Gypsy King,’ now 37, and his wife share seven children together after first welcoming their eldest daughter Venezuela in 2009.
Next up was Prince John James in 2011, followed by Prince Tyson Fury II in 2016.
Valencia Amber was born in 2017, with Prince Adonic Amaziah following in 2019 and Athena in 2021.
Youngest child Prince Rico Paris Fury was born in 2023, completing the set (for now).
The pair might not be finished yet, though, with Paris previously hinting that Tyson would like as many as 10 children before he’s done.
Their eclectic home life became the subject of their Netflix show, At Home With the Furys, which features all of their seven children—and all the accompanying carnage—prominently.

Meanwhile, Venezuela and Noah made their relationship official on social media this year, although neither has publicly discussed details of their romance.
As mum Paris shared news of the engagement, birthday girl Venezuela made a low-key announcement on Instagram, re-sharing the post with the caption: ‘engaged.’
‘Still in shock but very happy for you both. Me and your Dad couldn’t be prouder xxx,’ wrote Paris in her full congratulatory post.
The early milestone sparked debate in the comments below Paris’s post, with Instagram user DaveParks2023 describing it as ‘madness’.
‘She’s still a baby with lots of lovely things to look forward to travel, holidaying with friends, having fun… I respect it may be tradition, but is it necessary so young?’ queried elise_ethel_and_ethelsbag.
Still, others came to the couple’s defence, with corriejadebrown writing: ‘Age doesn’t matter, happiness matters.’
‘Congratulations special girl!!!’ cheered Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, who is dating Tyson’s half-brother, Tommy.
