‘Still in shock… but when you know, you know’: Fury fans left reeling as Tyson’s daughter Venezuela, just SIXTEEN, accepts surprise proposal on dance floor — mum Paris admits she’s stunned while critics brand her a...- suong
BEAMING on the dance floor at her 16th birthday party, Venezuela Fury looked as stunned as anyone when her boyfriend dropped to one knee.
With her boxing legend dad Tyson and mum Paris looking on, the influencer accepted the diamond ring from Noah Price with a kiss on the cheek.
It certainly can’t be easy making your mark with a romantic gesture in the Fury household given the showbiz family is worth around £162million.
Tyson and wife Paris have tied the knot three times no less, while his Love Islander brother Tommy keeps everyone guessing with his on/off engagement to Molly-Mae Hague.
But Venezuela and amateur boxer Noah’s announcement on Friday appears to have topped the lot — with even her unflappable mum-of-seven admitting she was “still in shock” over the news.
Posting a video of the moment on Instagram, Paris, 35, wrote: “Both only young but when you know you know! Still in shock but very happy for you both.
She added: “Me and your Dad couldn’t be prouder.”
Being deadly serious now, I don’t have a plan. I don’t want to do anything, from the bottom of my heart.
Venezuela Fury
Family and friends also joined in the celebrations with Molly-Mae, 26, one of the first to comment, writing: “Congratulations special girl!!!”
Among the many messages from well-wishers, critics argued Venezuela and Noah, who is believed to be slightly older than his bride-to-be, are too young to be considering marriage.
But the Furys have always embraced their traveller background, including the common practice of marrying young; Paris was just 19 when she wed the 21-year-old Gypsy King in 2008.
The controversy is likely to be water off a duck’s back to Venezuela as she is used to living her life in the spotlight.
The eldest of Tyson and Paris’s brood was the breakout star of their 2023 Netflix show, At Home With The Furys, thanks to her straight-talking attitude and glamorous outfits.
In one of the show’s most memorable scenes, Paris blasted Venezuela for being “a privileged little brat” after she admitted to just wanting to “sponge off” her dad’s fortune.
When asked by her mum what she wanted to do for a job, Venezuela replied: “Sit at home. Being deadly serious now, I don’t have a plan. I don’t want to do anything, from the bottom of my heart.”
But she appears to have changed her tune, with the savvy influencer tipped to make millions from brand collaborations.
Venezuela, who has 158,000 followers on Instagram and more than 200,000 on TikTok, has signed with talent agency, The Can Group, which also represents Peter Andre’s son Junior, 20, and daughter Princess, 18.
And the star has a lucrative side-hustle, flogging some of her pre-loved designer outfits, including Gucci and Dior, on Vinted.
Make millions
Meanwhile, her fiance Noah shares his future father-in-law’s stock in trade.
He is listed on the official East Midlands Boxing Fans website as a 91kg youth belt holder, Chesterfield ABC, having won the title in May last year.
But he has a more low-key online presence, sharing the odd video on Instagram of his boxing and romance with Venezuela.
The teen couple were seen together at York races last month and a boomerang video showed Noah planting a kiss on her cheek.
But it hasn’t always been love’s young dream, as they appeared to have had a fall-out in July when Venezuela posted a picture of an enormous bouquet of flowers on TikTok which carried the message, “I’m sorry, I love you”.
Venezuela still lives at the family’s £1.7million mansion, in Morecambe, Lancs, where Tyson has often taken a tough line with his eldest daughter.
She was previously banned from wearing short skirts, heavy make-up and false eyelashes.
Last year, she took a swipe at her dad’s parenting and revealed the multi-millionaire had told her to put back a packet of £1.99 biscuits during a trip to the supermarket.
She cheekily quipped in their Netflix show: “Strict parents raise sneaky kids.”
While Tyson is yet to comment publicly on their engagement, critics on social media didn’t hold back.
One wrote on Paris’s video: “You have worked hard to give your children a better life. Let your daughter see the world (and) not tie herself down to a boy! Madness.”
‘It was excessive’
Another described Venezuela as a “child bride” and added: “Astounding how many are defending this. Come on people, at 16 we all had stars in our eyes, thought we were mature and knew everything, and felt what we thought was true love.”
Others took a more reflective approach, noting Paris herself met Tyson aged 16 before tying the knot three years later.
Praising the “adorable” and “cute” couple, followers tore into the trolls, saying: “Ignore all the haters and all the negative comments being made towards you because all that matters is you two.”
Venezuela and Noah have to wait a while to make it official as a new law was introduced two years ago that increased the legal age of marriage in England and Wales to 18.
But she will certainly be hoping her marriage will prove just as successful as her parents'.
In August this year, Tyson and his wife renewed their vows for a second time in a romantic ceremony in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, in the South of France.
They had previously made the same romantic gesture in April 2013 in New York.
One member of the Fury family who might be happy for Venezuela for more reasons than one is Tommy.
His turbulent relationship with influencer Molly-Mae has been a hot topic for the last year.
The 26-year-old boxer admitted his drink problem, which saw him “downing 20 shots a night,” led to their break-up last year.
The couple, who met on the 2019 series of Love Island and welcomed daughter Bambi in 2023, reunited in May, but fans have been left in the dark over whether they are still engaged.
At a fashion event over the weekend, The Sun was told that Molly-Mae banned any mention of Tommy and axed a fan Q&A at the 11th hour.
Staff working at her L’Oreal pop-up in London’s Covent Garden were repeatedly warned off asking after her on/off partner.
A source said: “Molly herself was lovely but her team was laughable.
"It was excessive, they were issuing orders left right and centre and appeared to be desperate to make it like she was swamped by the public but in reality they were largely nonplussed.”
At least the future is looking brighter for Venezuela and Noah . . .
IS IT OK TO WED AT 16?
NO
MOST people’s 16th birthday parties are a bit of a blur.
Maybe they sneaked a few secret swigs of booze and just about lived to tell the pukey tale, perhaps they snogged someone they regretted.
But for Venezuela, it was the night she pledged to spend the rest of life with someone.
Sorry to be a cynical party pooper, but isn’t she a bit young to be making this kind of decision?
Getting hitched early is clearly common in the traveller culture.
However, from the outside, it seems like making this kind of commitment to someone when you were literally fifteen last week is premature.
Asking somebody to vow to stand by another human being for better for worse, in sickness and in health etc when they haven’t even experienced life properly yet feels like a tall order.
These late teen years are surely supposed to be a time for making mistakes, being responsibility free and having fun – discovering what makes you tick and what you want.
Not washing someone’s pants and cooking their dinner before another night slumped in front of the telly.
YES
I GOT engaged just before my 15th birthday and married at 17 when most of my friends were still at school and I don’t regret it one bit.
I met my husband John when I was 12. He was my brother’s friend and I loved how he treated me as an equal – not just his friend’s little sister.
Three years later, I was on a family day out at the beach when John told my dad he had fallen in love with a Greek Cypriot girl. When my dad asked who he pointed at me and he asked me to marry him.
We married in 1982 and went on to have three children and two grandchildren.
It’s not all been plain sailing. John, who is now a black cab driver, had a successful career as a footballer, but lost his job after becoming a manager.
It hit him hard and I didn’t know how to help him. We went for counselling and are happier than ever.
When I saw Venezuela had got engaged I thought ‘I really hope it works out as they have a long road ahead of them’.

"To only think we were 2 strangers, living on opposite ends of the world, went on a little show called Love Island and fell madly in love.
"There is not a second that goes past where I would have it any other way. When I was growing up I always wondered what a soulmate was, and always wondered if I would ever have that magical, fairytale love.
"I never thought I would. How wrong was I."
