Pecohub Three weeks after her eldest daughter Venezuela Fury, whom she shares with husband Tyson Fury, got engaged to Noah Price at her 16th birthday party, Paris, 35, told the Daily Mail she “wouldn’t be comfortable” calling herself a grandma just yet.
“I will smile, but I really don’t think I’m ready to become a granny,” the At Home with the Furys star said. “I couldn’t be an old-looking granny. I will have to be the youngest-looking granny ever.”
While Paris herself was only 19 when she married the professional boxer in November 2008, she told the outlet she wanted her teen daughter to prioritize having time to “grow as your own person” before taking on the responsibilities of motherhood.
“I install into her, Venezuela, enjoy your life, travel, see places, even if it’s them together,” the mom of seven explained, adding, “Although I don’t believe there is anything more fulfilling than motherhood.”
“I grew up being a mother, and I have said many times I wouldn’t change anything,” Paris continued. “But I do think once you have children, you have to think of them first. You are no longer putting yourself first. You have other people to care for, so for that moment, it’s good to wait a while.”
As for how Paris reacted when her daughter got engaged at just 16 years old? While she admitted that she was “in shock,” the How Does She Do It? The Kids, Tyson & Me author made it clear that she will ”thoroughly support” the couple’s decision.
“She is growing up. It’s come a lot sooner than I ever expected,” Paris said of her daughter.
Added the mom: “Venezuela is only young, she’s only 16 and she is engaged, but we are really happy for her, and it’s her choice in life.”
“It is a lovely moment, that’s what I’m saying to her, enjoy this moment, enjoy where you are,” she continued. “I am really proud of her. I have said to Venezuela she has been shown different avenues in life and been offered different opportunities, and this is what she has chosen.”
