Tyson and Paris Fury on holiday on the Isle of Man with all seven of their children

Paris Fury has revealed exactly why she decided to name four of her seven children 'Prince.'

Both Paris and her husband, former two-time heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, have been inseparable since their teenage years. In keeping with the Traveller tradition, the 'Gypsy King' has seven children with wife Paris.

The couple are parents to Venezuela, 16, Prince John James, 14, Prince Tyson Fury II, nine, Valencia Amber, eight, Prince Adonis Amaziah, seven, Athena, four, and little Prince Rico Paris Fury, two. They welcomed Rico in 2023 - a touching tribute to Tyson's late cousin Rico Burton, who was tragically killed in 2022, while his second middle name honours his mother.

It's fair to say they live a rather hectic and chaotic lifestyle - which has been well documented following the release of the second season of their hit Netflix show: At Home With The Furys. Throughout the show, fans were left rather perplexed by the fact that all four of Paris' sons are named 'Prince.

Amid confusion surrounding the names of the four boys, Paris has revealed the truth on the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast. "The boys do all have the same first name. The boys are all called 'Prince'," she said, before admitting it can be "really confusing, especially when you are talking to a doctor."

Paris was then pressed on how they came up with the name. "[It's] because I was really high when I was giving birth to Prince. And he was going to be called John James all along. Very traditional, very nice," she replied. "I had him [and] I looked [at him] and I thought, 'You don't look like a John James'."

The 36-year-old added: "And I was like, 'Prince, he has to be a Prince, he's my Prince'. And then three days later I was like, 'Oh, I named that baby Prince'. So that's how he got Prince."

Speaking on his documentary six years ago, Tyson - nicknamed the 'Gypsy King' - admitted he his sons 'Prince' - because they're not yet ready to become kings. "I'm a king and they're princes until they earn their rightful name," he said.

However, on the recent podcast with Lang, Paris was quick to downplay such remarks. "When we had another boy, he said, 'Well you can't call one a prince without the other. They've all got to be Prince'." She added: "And then that didn't work either, and we ended up with four Princes. It's very confusing and when you book a holiday as well they actually think you're telling lies."

Paris and Tyson are now raising their family after snapping up a huge new property - rumoured to be worth 8million - to in the tax haven of the Isle of Man. The pair are believed to have relocated to the island late last year with their eight children after leaving Morecambe, where they had previously been based.

Because the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, or the European Union, it has its own parliament, laws, and lower tax regime. The Isle of Mans higher rate of income tax is 21%, and its tax cap has risen to 220,000, making it an attractive location for wealthy business owners.
