Paris Fury reveals the real reason why four of her children with boxer Tyson share the same name

British boxer Tyson Fury and his wife Paris are a hit with fans, in part thanks to their conventional homelife with their seven kids.

But one aspect of their children's lives has always got fans talking – the fact they gave four of their children the same name.

Now, after years of rumours about why they named all of their sons 'Prince', Paris has revealed the surprising truth on the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast.

Watch the video above.

The Furys are parents of seven children. The eldest is daughter, Venezuela, 16. Next is Prince John James, 14. He is followed by Prince Tyson II, who is nine; daughter Valencia, eight; Prince Adonis Amaziah, seven; Athena, four; and finally Prince Rico Paris, who is two.

Fury, 36, who stars alongside her husband on the Netflix series, At Home With The Furys, was appearing on the podcast overnight when attention turned to her children's unusual names.

"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," she joked to the host.

Laing then asked 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 explained.

"I had him [and] I looked [at him] and I thought, 'You don't look like a John James'."

She said she and Tyson began looking at different names when Prince came up.

"And I was like, 'Prince, he has to be a Prince, he's my Prince'," she recalled.

"And then three days later I was like, 'Oh, I named that baby Prince'. So that's how he got Prince."

As to how three more sons ended up with the same moniker, she said Tyson likes to say it's because "he's the Gypsy King and these kids all got Prince because he's the King".

However, she said that wasn't quite true.

"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'."

Despite telling him it was crazy, she agreed to go ahead as long as they didn't tell anyone.

"And then that didn't work either, and we ended up with four Princes," she laughed.

"It's very confusing and when you book a holiday as well they actually think you're telling lies."

Tyson and Paris first met as teens and started dating after reconnecting at her 16th birthday party.

They married in 2008 – the same year he made his professional boxing debut at 20 – and he has often credited her as his 'rock', despite them clashing many times over his decision to continue his boxing career.

The family star in the Netflix series, At Home with the Furys, with season two recently hitting the streaming giant.

Tyson, a former super heavyweight world champion, revealed last year that Paris suffered a heartbreaking late miscarriage just hours before the biggest fight of his life – a May 2024 match against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, which he eventually lost.
