Paris Fury has responded to her husband Tyson after he revealed they hadn't spoken a 'single word' to each other in three months.
Tyson and Paris are childhood sweethearts, having started their relationship during their early teenage years.
With seven children between them, the Morecambe Bay couple knows a thing or to about parenting and keeping a marriage going strong in a house full of young kids running about.

But in preparing for his upcoming world title bout against Oleksandr Usyk - which takes place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday (December 21) - the Gypsy King revealed he hasn't spoken to his wife of 16 years for the last three months.
"It's been a long camp. Been away from my wife and kids for three months," the 36-year-old sporting legend told presenter Dev Sahni on Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.
"I've not spoken to Paris at all for three months, not one word. Yeah, I've sacrificed a lot.

"It will be worth it, 100 percent."
Fury is coming back to the ring after suffering the first loss of his career to Usyk in their first boxing match back in May 2024.
A bout to become the undisputed heavyweight championship, the Ukrainian behemoth showed immense prowess to put aside Fury, who stands six inches taller than him and is two years younger.

Fury's familial sacrifice has hit headlines, given the extreme lengths he has gone to to make sure he doesn't lose the rematch.
And now, his wife Paris has spoken out on the agreement between him, her, and the children.
"People don't see the sacrifices made," Paris posted in an Instagram Story this morning (December 18).

"I've let him solely concentrate on this fight. It seems like he's been gone forever, especially with no contact.
"But if it's what he needs."
Anne-Sofie Koktved, a relationship expert at Datingxperten.de, explained that such a stance between the married couple is about 'maintaining the level of focus required to perform at his peak'.
"Preparing for such a high-stakes fight demands mental discipline, and even the slightest distraction, including day-to-day parenting concerns, could throw him off balance," Koktved added.
