PARIS Fury has spoken out about the shock of her eldest daughter, Venezuela, 16, getting engaged.
Mother-of-the-bride-to-be Paris opened up about the teen couple after initially being left stunned.

The 16-year-old and her mum were left gob-smacked when boxer Noah Price popped the question at her 16th birthday bash.
Despite her initial advice to wait, Paris, 35, said she is delighted for the young duo.
In an interview with The Mirror, she shared: “I did encourage her to wait as long as possible, but she was determined.”
The wife of boxing champion Tyson Fury continued: “We’re all really happy for her and Noah.
“They’re a great match and genuinely excited about this next chapter in her life.
“Yes, she’s young, but as we all know, that’s in line with our traditions and values. I was engaged to Tyson at 17, so we’re not far off in age.”
Now, the mum-of-seven is already looking forward to planning a lavish, no-expense-spared wedding.
The early engagement mirrors Paris’s own relationship with Tyson.
The couple first met when Paris was 15 and Tyson was 17, and their romance began on her 16th birthday.
Marrying young is common practice within the traveller community and Paris herself was only 19 when she tied the knot to 21-year-old Tyson in 2008.
Busy mum Paris and Tyson recently tied the knot for the third time in a private wedding ceremony in the South of France this summer, along with their seven children.
Paris explained the reason for their repeated vows: “I told Tyson I wasn’t doing it for anyone else this time.
“We did it to reaffirm our love and to embrace the fact that our kids are now such a big part of our life. It was just for us.”
Tyson Fury, 37, previously said about his own long-standing marriage: “Paris has stood by me through thick and thin and I’ve stood by her…
“It’s easy to just pack up and leave after two minutes. Anyone can do that.
“But it takes real character and dedication to stick into a marriage for the next 50, 60 years, as long as we’re alive.”
Legally, Venezuela and Noah are unable to tie the knot until she turns 18.
Not much is known about Venezuela’s fiance, but he is said to be an up-and-coming boxer.
He is a 92kg East Midlands belt holder linked with Chesterfield ABC.
