Paris and Tyson Fury have revealed their newborn son’s name.
The couple welcomed their seventh child on September 18 and have now announced that he is called Prince Rico Paris Fury.
He is the latest addition to the couple’s brood as they are also parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two.
Speaking about the name choice, Paris told OK! magazine: ‘All of my kids have got unusual names and obviously it’s also really personal to Tyson.
‘We also added my name because I’ve had seven kids and I still haven’t had one named after me, so Tyson thought, “Come on, it’s about time!”‘

All four of the couple’s sons share the same first name of Prince with Tyson previously revealing, ‘I’m a king and they’re princes until they earn their rightful name.’
While Paris is a nod to herself, Rico was chosen to honour Tyson’s late cousin, who was murdered last year.
Rico Burton, 31, was fatally stabbed outside a bar in Altrincham, Cheshire, in August last year.
His attacker, Liam O’Pray, 22, was found guilty of murder last month.
Tyson previously urged politicians to get tough on knife crime in the aftermath of his cousin’s murder, describing stabbing someone as ‘the most cowardly little s**th**** thing anybody can do’.
He added: ‘The United Kingdom is supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world, and yet we can’t go down the street with a watch on our wrist or anything because we’re going to get stabbed.
‘The government needs to make this tougher on these little cowards who carry knives and weapons.’
Three days earlier, Tyson took to Instagram to confirm the death of his cousin. He wrote: ‘This is becoming ridiculous – idiots carry knives.
‘This needs to stop. Asap, UK Government needs to bring higher sentencing for knife crime, it’s a pandemic and you don’t know how bad it is until it’s one of your own!
‘Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick enjoy every moment. RIP RICO BURTON. May the lord god grant you a good place in heaven. see you soon.’

Last week, Paris appeared on Wednesday’s Lorraine via video link as she spoke 10 days after giving birth to her seventh child and gave an insight into her relationship with Tyson.
She detailed boxer Tyson’s 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, 35, 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.
Tyson and Paris are childhood sweethearts and got married when they were 21 and 19 respectively, with Tyson going on to find massive fame as a boxer.
Speaking about his rise to the spotlight, Paris said they have ‘grown’ with the fame and also discussed his struggles with ADHD and bipolar disorder.
She went on: ‘I’ve been with Tyson for so long, we have grown with the fame and we have each others back.
‘Especially with the problems that he has had in the past. He knows that I’m there for him and I know that he is there for me.’
Paris also told how she was asked to go on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! just five days after giving birth, telling how she declined because it wasn’t the right time.
‘I had a call when the baby was about five days old asking if I would come into the jungle and I was like ‘no no no’. It’s good if it’s the right time but no,’ she said.

‘I never chose this life we were thrust into the fame. To go away for weeks on end wouldn’t suit me. But never say never.’
Paris and Tyson announced that they had welcomed their seventh child together – a baby boy – on September 19.
The couple are already parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia Amber, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two.
Announcing the birth of her seventh child to OK! Magazine, Paris revealed her son was born at 2.29am weighing 6lb 13oz, but hasn’t yet revealed his name.

‘Our boy is the most perfect addition and we’re bursting with love for him. It’s crazy how you can love someone so quick.’
