Venezuela Fury, the 16-year-old daughter of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has addressed the backlash over her teenage marriage in her first television interview alongside her husband, Noah Price. The couple appeared on ITV's This Morning on Monday, June 22, just over a month after tying the knot on May 16.
The wedding took place at the Victorian Royal Chapel of St John's on the Isle of Man, where the legal age to marry is 16 with parental consent. The ceremony featured an archway of blue hydrangeas and yellow roses, with a long blue carpet leading to the entrance. Venezuela arrived in a vintage wedding car with her father, while her mother, Paris, oversaw preparations.
Speaking on This Morning, host Ben Shephard asked the couple about married life. Venezuela said: 'I'm enjoying it so far. We've only been married a month, but everything's going smoothly, and I'm learning new things every day. I'm learning how to cook, we go everywhere together, we do everything together... It's really good so far.'
When asked about the criticism of her age, Venezuela responded: 'I think, as long as it's not my family or friends, they're the ones that matter to me, then I'm not bothered. I don't like people being unkind, I don't agree with it, spreading badness where there shouldn't be. Yes, I am young, but I've found the person I want and I've carried on with my life. Everyone's got to start somewhere, and I started young.'
Noah Price, 18, said he 'knew from the start' he wanted to marry Venezuela. He added: 'I didn't want to mess her about, I thought she was perfect. I was her first boyfriend, she was wife material. When I first seen her, I thought, yeah, I'm gonna marry that girl one day. And then I made the dream come true.'
The couple, who met at a party and spoke a year later, honeymooned in Marbella and have now moved into their first home together. The wedding reception was held at the Comis Hotel and Golf Club, with a performance by 1990s pop star Peter Andre.
