Paris Fury has revealed how her husband Tyson 'died three times' in his incubator after he was born.

The mum-of-six, who welcomed their latest addition back in August, said that her 33-year-old hubby was actually seven weeks premature and his fighting spirit resulted in his name.

Paris appeared on the Parenting Hell podcast where she revealed: "He was born seven weeks premature.

"He was really premature. He died three times in the incubators. His mum had a real bad time when she had him.

"They said to him... he's a fighter. That's how he got the name Tyson. His brothers all got old fashioned traditional names but he was named after Mike Tyson.

"It's an amazing story. A lot of people think that Tyson's name isn't his real name but his name all his life was Tyson Luke Fury."

The couple are parents to Venezuela, 12, Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, four, Valencia, three, Prince Adonis, two, and baby Athena.

Their three sons were all named 'Prince', which Paris explained when she spoke about the birth of Prince Tyson II, saying: "I was high on the gas and air! [I said] We've got to call him Prince. So we've got Prince, Tyson and Adonis, but they are all Prince."

Tyson, who is known as The Gypsy King, put it much simpler when he previously said: "I'm a king and they're princes until they earn their rightful name."

Despite having six children now, the pair probably won't be slowing down after Tyson revealed earlier this year that he and his wife had agreed on having eleven (yes, eleven) kids.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "It starts with a story nobody knows. Paris became my girlfriend when she was 15 and me 16.

"When time came for marriage, I asked her how many children she wanted. She said 10.

"I said that will do for me. Now we've decided to go for one more. Make it 11. Let's have a mixed football team playing on the pitch at Morecambe."

Despite always dreaming of a big family, Paris has been transparent when it comes to their heartbreak when she revealed in October that they have lost two babies which left them 'devastated'.

In a reflective Instagram post, she wrote: "Even from a young age I always knew I wanted big family - it's in my bloodline after all as my Granny had eight - and with every baby my confidence as a mum has increased, I've got a routine and I know what works for us.

"I know from the outside people see our big family and assume we've never struggled to have children."
