Paris Fury has revealed that her husband Tyson Fury missed the birth of their seventh child by a few hours.
The 33-year-old gave birth to a baby boy on September 18, who they named Prince Rico Paris Fury.
The heavyweight boxing champion, 35, had been at Paris’ side in the hospital, but returned to training camp as things were ‘going quite slowly’.
However, Rico was then born soon after with Paris’ mother Lynda being her birthing partner for his arrival.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Paris revealed Tyson’s absence, saying: ‘Usually he’s there by my side, but he had to bail out on because he’s fully immersed in to training at camp. He was there until a few hours before Rico was born.’

She explained: ‘Things were going quite slowly, so it seemed like the baby wasn’t going to come until the next day. Tyson left and my mum came in, she was my second birthing partner.’
Paris added Tyson made a quick return and met his newborn son, saying: ‘His dad came in and saw him soon after.’
She also explained that even though he’s away at training camp, Tyson has been visiting her and Rico every day.
She said: ‘My mum has been here and Tyson comes back every day, even though he’s not supposed to! Things are strict when he’s training. He’s not supposed to become mummy or baby minded.’
The couple are also parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two.
Paris revealed her mum has been with her for all of her children’s births, except from her youngest daughter Athena, in 2021.
The little girl’s birth was traumatic, after she was born with a fast heartbeat of 300 beats a minute – the normal rate is around the 120 beats mark.
As medical staff tried to slow Athena’s heart rate it failed to work which caused ‘a load of other complications’ meaning the mother and daughter were swiftly transferred from the Royal Lancaster Infirmary to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

The Fury family then had a nightmare two weeks after the baby girl was put into a neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU).
Discussing the terrifying birth in her new book, How Does She Do It? The Kids, Tyson & Me, Paris said she had never felt so fragile and helpless.
Paris explained: ‘It was clear Athena was having the fight of her life, and that any deterioration might cause her to slip away at any moment.’
Following being on a ventilator, medics believed Athena was stable and Paris, who had only just been able to hold her daughter again since giving birth went through her ‘worst nightmare’ just moments later.
She continued: ‘Suddenly she became pale, floppy and unresponsive and I could see she’d stopped breathing.
‘My blood ran cold and I let out a piercing scream “MY BABY’S DYING!” I shouted as a nurse immediately hit the red emergency buzzer’.
Doctors quickly surrounded the little girl and resuscitated her after her heart completely stopped.
During the chaotic scene, the mum called Tyson who had gone on a run to get back as quickly as he could.

The boxer arrived just in time to see the medical staff revive their daughter and reconnect her to the ventilator.
Due to Athena’s traumatic birth Paris told her mum she had to be with her for the arrival of her seventh baby.
She told OK!: ‘When I had Athena and everything went wrong. I said “Mum you’ve got to be there this time!”
‘It was just a relief when he arrived and you can hear the crying. You just have an instant connection to your baby, I don’t know where it comes from.’
Last week, Paris appeared on Wednesday’s Lorraine via video link as she spoke 10 days after giving birth and gave an insight into her relationship with Tyson.
She detailed his gruelling training regime and told how she is looking after their newborn son and six other kids alone as he trains for a fight.
Paris insisted relationships are all about the ‘give and take’ as she explained how Tyson will take over childcare after his big fight next month.
She said: ‘He’s in training for a fight at the moment so I am at home with the kids but when he comes back he takes over.
‘Relationships are never 50/50 sometimes they’re 60/40. It’s all about the give and take.’
Tyson is set to face former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in the boxing ring in a hotly-anticipated crossover bout in Saudi Arabia on October 28.
