Tyson Fury and his wife Paris are proud parents to six children, and they are currently expecting their seventh baby.
While the World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, 35, and the Gypsy King star, 33, are no doubt excited to expand their family, there may be an element of apprehension following Paris' traumatic birth with their youngest child, Athena.
The couple already shared Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson Fury II, Valencia Amber and Prince Adonis Amaziah when Paris gave birth to daughter Athena in August 2021 at Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

"They sedated her and put her on an incubation, where they put a tube down her throat to breathe. They put her on tablets to slow her heart down and when they took her off the tube, they thought it was going to be normal," Paris told OK magazine.

After resuscitating her, Athena became stable and no longer needed heart medication, but Paris was understandably cautious about her health in the following weeks.

They have both been open about wanting a large family. Paris said she easily fell pregnant with their eldest two children, but she confessed she sought fertility tests after suffering a miscarriage.

"Very excited - number 7, just a few more to go, another 7 to go," Tyson said during an appearance on Heart FM to promote their documentary, At Home with the Furys.

Tyson also revealed that he is reduced to tears each time he witnesses his babies being born. "Every time I tell myself I’m definitely not going to cry but I see it coming out and I go (crying noises)," he said. "Every time and I don't know why! It's an emotional thing for me."
