Venezuela Fury Breaks Silence Over Wedding Backlash After Critics Claim She Is ‘Too Young’ To Marry
Venezuela Fury has issued a defiant response to critics who questioned her decision to marry at the age of 16.
The eldest daughter of boxing champion Tyson Fury and his wife Paris tied the knot with partner Noah Price last month in a lavish ceremony on the Isle of Man.
While the wedding was proudly celebrated by her family, it quickly became the subject of public debate, with some social media users arguing that she was too young to make such a significant life commitment.
Until now, Venezuela had largely remained silent over the criticism. But in a new post shared on Instagram, she appeared to address the controversy directly.
Posting a loved-up photo from her wedding day, the teenager wrote: “For everyone who said I was too young.”
The image showed Venezuela and Noah smiling together after their ceremony, appearing happy and relaxed as they marked the beginning of married life.
Her comment was widely seen as a clear message to those who had criticised the marriage online.
The wedding, held on 16 May, drew attention not only because of Venezuela’s famous family, but also because of her age. In England and Wales, the legal minimum age for marriage was raised to 18 in 2022 as part of wider efforts to protect young people from forced or pressured marriages.
However, the couple married on the Isle of Man, where 16 and 17-year-olds can still legally wed if they have written consent from a parent or legal guardian.
The issue was later discussed on Loose Women, where the panel offered a generally supportive reaction. Some viewers, however, were less convinced, with one social media user asking whether television audiences should be “celebrating child marriage”.
Tyson and Paris Fury have both publicly supported their daughter’s decision. Tyson proudly walked Venezuela down the aisle, while Paris has previously pointed to her own experience, having met Tyson when she was 15 and become engaged at 17.
Venezuela, who left formal schooling at 11 in line with Traveller tradition, has grown up in the public eye as part of one of Britain’s most recognisable boxing families.
Her wedding dress also attracted huge attention, with the young bride wearing an elaborate fairytale-style gown featuring a towering lace design and a dramatic 50ft train.
The ceremony was described as a grand family occasion, with the Fury clan turning out in force to support the couple.
Despite the celebrations, debate around the marriage has continued. Supporters have argued that Venezuela’s family culture and personal circumstances should be respected, while critics have raised concerns about whether any teenager can fully understand the pressures and responsibilities of marriage.
The discussion has also highlighted wider questions around age, tradition, consent and the difference between legal rules across the UK and Crown Dependencies.
Venezuela’s latest post suggests she has little interest in being drawn into a prolonged public argument.
Instead, she appears focused on her new life with Noah, while continuing to build her own profile online. With more than one million followers on TikTok, she has already become a popular figure in her own right.
Reports have also suggested that she may be in talks for a reality series alongside her husband, following the success of the family’s Netflix show At Home With The Furys.
If such a project goes ahead, the newlyweds’ life together could become even more visible to the public.
For now, Venezuela’s message is simple: she has heard the criticism — and she is standing by her choice.
