At Home With The Furys: New Netflix show on life with Gypsy King Tyson Fury and wife Paris at their £1.7m home as he juggles being a father-of-six, mental health struggles and brother Tommy’s new baby with Molly-Mae
A new Netflix show will lift the lid on the ‘crazy’ life of Tyson Fury and his wife Paris as he juggles being a father-of-six with mental health struggles and his brother Tommy’s new baby with Molly-Mae Hague.
At Home With The Furys, which will be released on August 16, follows the heavyweight champion, 34, as he exits the ring and tries in vain to embrace a quieter life with his extraordinary family at their £1.7m Lancashire home.
The series also stars Love Island couple Tommy and Molly-Mae, both 24, as they prepare for their first child, Bambi.
The trailer shows her asking Tommy: ‘Do you feel ready to become a dad?’, to which he replies: ‘I’m ready to cut the placenta.’ A patient Molly tells him: ‘No you’re not going to cut the placenta, you’re going to cut the umbilical cord’.
The Gypsy King and Paris, 32, are proud parents to three sons (all named Prince): Prince John James, ten, Prince Tyson Fury II, six, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and three daughters; Venezuela, 13, Valencia Amber, five, and Athena, two.

On the show, Fury is seen struggling with being away from the ring, feeling lost and lacking purpose, reports The Sun.
Paris – who is pregnant with their seventh child – worries he will slip back into the depression and addiction that led him to consider suicide when he left the sport for another short period in 2019.
She says: ‘When he last stopped boxing, Tyson had an alcohol and drug addiction. He suffers from a few mental health problems. He’s got ADHD, depression, and it all spiralled out of control. We had a bad two years.
‘There’s no point saying that won’t happen again because that’s the elephant in the room I think about.’

Summing up his new life, Fury says: ‘Three girls, three boys, my wife. All f*****n crazy. I’ve gone from topping the bill at Wembley, to picking up dog s**t on a run.’
The boxer has bipolar disorder, leaving him vacillating from huge highs to deep lows and carrying out spontaneous acts, from announcing plans to buy Blackpool airport to booking a last-minute flight to Iceland to ‘pick a fight’ with the world’s strongest man, Hafthor Bjornsson, 34.
After touching down in Iceland, Fury finds out the strongman – who is also an actor on Game of Thrones – is in Rome filming a new movie. Instead, he puts on a Viking helmet and calls out Bjornsson before sinking several beers in a bar.
Viewers hear of Tyson and Paris’ first date to watch King Kong in the cinema, when he was 17 and she 15.
She recalls: ‘I kept thinking, ”Is he gonna kiss me?” I’d never been kissed.
‘The movie went on for three hours and the moment King Kong climbs up the Empire State Building, that’s when Tyson decides to lean in and kiss me. It was the most awkward and embarrassing moment of my life.
‘Then he says, ”Are you going to go out with me? Are you going to be my girlfriend?” So I said, ”Yeah”.’
The pair – who are from a traveller background – married in 2008.
Netflix reportedly renewed Fury documentary series before the first season has even aired

Fury has racked up an estimated £51million fortune over his career, and owns a collection of supercars including a Ferrari £384,000 Rolls-Royce.
But the boxer – who calls himself King of the Chavs – usually opts to drive around in a £500 2006 VW Passat.
The nine-part series also shows Paris planning an ‘Instagram-perfect’ party to mark Athena’s christening with a room full of pink balloons and a soft play area.
Fury says: ‘Money isn’t the be all and end all of everything.
‘But for Paris it’s probably harder to go from lemonade to Champagne and back to lemonade again, rather than never having Champagne.’
As well as showing the wild excesses of life in the Fury household, the Netflix show also shows the sportsman complaining about having to do household chores.
‘I’d rather get punched the f*** out of me by ten world champions than stay at home a week and do all these jobs,’ he says.
And there are moments of tension between the couple, such as when Fury takes all the children camping without telling his wife.
Returning home, Paris rages: ‘I’ve got a giant, 6ft 9in child. I don’t see the sense, the kids are in school tomorrow.
‘That’s the problem with living with him, he’s so up and down, which I suppose is a definition of bipolar.
‘Instead of just being set in the routine of taking kids to school, which is normal, he’ll wake up and — bam! — we’re doing something else.
‘I try to go along with his mood swings and his little ideas but these sorts of things are a definite interference in life.’
She adds: ‘I’ll humour my husband and pretend this is normality when really, it is absolute madness.
‘But if I don’t let him have his little moments he gets a bit down and depressed and he gets upset.’
And after organising a romantic picnic and boat trip on a Scottish loch, he gets angry and leaves her stranded on a tiny dinghy.
‘When I’m low, Paris gets the brunt of it,’ Fury says. ‘I don’t feel good about that.’
He later says he ‘would be dead’ without his wife.

Paris adds: ‘Tyson’s moods are on a regular up and down. It is hard to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
‘It does get on our nerves but I love him and I’m going to support him and help him.’
The long-suffering wife admits she considered leaving the marriage when his depression was at its worse.
‘He got massively overweight. The only thing he was interested in was lying in bed most of the day and drinking through the night,’ she says.
‘At that point I really wanted to leave. But I thought if I left him, Tyson would go through with what he kept saying he wanted to do, which was kill himself.’
Fury has always spoken openly about his mental health struggles, which worsened when he first retired in 2019.
The boxing champ’s father John says: ‘Last time Tyson retired, he wasn’t in a good place. Could he slip down that road’.
Fury , who suffers from depression and has ADHD and is bipolar, says boxing is ‘the only thing that gives me purpose.
‘I’ve got the belts, all the money, all the fame. But my biggest achievement will always be my family’.
He adds: ‘I’ve had a lot of dark moments thinking, ‘You’re going to end up in a padded room. You’ve lost your mind’.
‘You have thoughts of not wanting to live any more, even though you’ve got a family and kids and everything to live for.
‘Exercise for me is the key. The moment I stop exercising I go straight back to Hotel California — you can check out any time you want but you can never leave.
‘That’s mental health. It’s not IF you get unwell again, it’s when.’
In October, it emerged Fury was coming out of retirement to defend his world heavyweight title against fellow Brit Derek Chisora. The Gypsy King went on to win by a technical knockout in the tenth round.

It recently emerged that Netflix decided to commission a second series of At Home With The Furys before the first one even aired.
A TV insider told The Sun: ‘They’re so confident it will be a hit with audiences that they want more and filming is due to start this autumn.
‘Which will be great news for fans of Tyson, as well as those who might be being introduced to the career and home life of the boxer for the first time.
‘Netflix are sure the show will have everyone hooked and were quick to snap up the leading man up before his diary became too full.’
The second series is expected to centre around Tyson’s upcoming, high-profile fight with UFC champion Francis Ngannou this October.
Narrating, Tyson says: ‘When I stepped out of the ring, I was pretty ready to be the family man…’
