Tyson and Paris Fury open up about the heartbreak of losing a baby in new At Home With The Furys episode
“Tyson’s had all his belts took from him, I’ve had this baby took from me”- Paris and Tyson Fury open up about their devastating loss.
The second series of At Home With the Fury’s premiered on the weekend and it gives fans even more of an insight into the manic life of the Fury brood- including why they have left Lancashire after nearly twenty years!
As open as ever, the series touches on the family of nine’s low points as well as the highs, and none could be lower than the devastating time they lost a baby just under two years ago.
Heavyweight boxer Tyson first revealed at a December 2024 press conference for his upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk that Paris had suffered a miscarriage before their first fight seven months earlier.
In the second episode of their new documentary however, wife Paris told the full story from her perspective for the first time.
When Paris’ sister Montano asked about the Fury couple’s recent trip to Lake Como, Paris told her: “It was good for us you know, going through everything these last few months. Obviously he had the loss at the fight and at home I’d lost the baby. Everything had gone wrong.”
Speaking to the camera, the 36-year-old elaborated: “I was pregnant again after Rico and it was a bit of a surprise. Tyson was fighting Usyk, he was in training camp. I was quite far along so I thought, you know what, it would be nice to go and find out the gender. I went to the gender scan by myself, I thought ‘oh yeah it’s okay, I don’t need anybody with me, I’ve done this many times’. I went in to the gender scan and got told there wasn’t a heartbeat and I just walked outside and started to cry.”
Paris, who currently shares seven children with Tyson, went on to explain that her pain was even more heartbreaking as she decided to keep it all to herself.
She said: “It was less than a week ‘til his fight and I just kept thinking ‘what do I tell Tyson?’ I Facetimed him and he said ‘why are you in the hospital?’ I said ‘hi blood pressure, it’s fine, I’m fine’. Then I came off the phone and broke into tears.
“I made the decision not to tell Tyson and I never went to the fight.”
Over in Saudi Arabia however, Paris’s absence failed to keep Tyson’s heartbreak at bay, instead it told him more than she could have imagined.
Tyson told the TV crew: “A pack of wild horses couldn’t keep Paris away from those fights so I thought to myself ‘yeah, she’s lost that baby, 100 per cent.’
“For the first time in 20 years, I couldn't be there for her in her most needed time and that was the upsetting thing for me. I was in a foreign country, abroad, about to do the biggest thing in my life and I just wanted to be home for my wife.”
Paris then continued: “He came home and it really did feel like something out of a movie. Like Tyson’s had all his belts took from him, I’ve had this baby took from me, and we’ve got to bury him.”
Returning to the conversation between Paris and Montana, the elder sister said: “he said when he came back ‘I knew, I just wanted to deny it. I didn’t want to believe you. If my hand was hanging off, I’d have been there.’”
Sadly Paris and Tyson’s 2024 baby loss was not the first they have suffered: in 2014 Paris had a stillbirth and then she lost another baby in 2018 ahead of Tyson’s comeback fight against Sefer Seferi.
Speaking again to the camera crew, Paris said: “I’ve had losses and it’s part of my life and I’ve learned to be stronger with it but it’s still a very emotional time that everybody would experience differently.”
The scene then ends with a more optimistic Paris telling Montana: “Whatever we’ve got, we’re very very lucky. We’re all fit and healthy. I’ve got seven lovely, beautiful, healthy kids and it’s just time to enjoy family life and that’s what I’d like to do.”
And that’s indeed what they go on to do, the rest of the series continuing to document the family’s many fun escapades.
