Venezuela Fury’s 16th birthday was meant to be entirely about her – a glamorous celebration to mark the milestone in style. The eldest of Tyson Fury and Paris Fury’s seven children donned a dazzling white sequined two-piece, created specifically for the occasion, which took place in a village hall near the family’s £5million mansion in Morecambe.
In anticipation of the party, Venezuela’s boyfriend, Noah Price, then 18, had secretly planned to propose to her that evening, promising a night filled with joy and unforgettable surprises. For the most part, Venezuela was the centre of attention, radiating excitement and charm in front of the 400 invited guests. Yet, despite the lavish event and thoughtful planning, the birthday girl had to contend with an unexpected complication: the presence of another high-profile female guest who inadvertently drew attention away from her.
Molly-Mae Hague, the former Love Island star and now influential social media powerhouse, was in attendance. A member of the extended Fury family through her relationship with Venezuela’s uncle, Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae has amassed a following of 16 million fans and recently appeared on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list with an estimated fortune of £20million. During Venezuela’s party, Molly-Mae was swamped with fans – mostly teenage girls – who clamoured for selfies and chats with the mega-influencer, unintentionally diverting attention from the birthday girl.
“It was a lot for Molly-Mae,” an insider explained, “but they are Tommy’s family, so she didn’t mind being there. Still, it was all eyes on her for much of the evening.”
Venezuela, ambitious and aspiring to carve out her own influencer career, reportedly felt the competitive sting. The teenager has a following of 800,000 online, which, while impressive, is far smaller than Molly-Mae’s colossal audience. “There is a tendency to feel competitive,” the source added. “Venezuela would love to reach the same levels as Molly-Mae, but they have completely different aesthetics.”
Molly-Mae’s success comes from her “clean-girl” fashion look and entrepreneurial ventures. After finishing as the runner-up on Love Island in 2018, she signed a £600,000 deal with fast-fashion brand Pretty Little Thing in 2019, later becoming its creative director. She then launched her own label, Maebe, which has attracted legions of teenage fans eager to buy her limited-release clothing lines.
Despite the potential for rivalry, Molly-Mae made efforts to stay understated during Venezuela’s celebrations. She swapped her signature nude look for black, choosing a black lace jumpsuit that elegantly concealed her 37-week pregnancy bump. She later emphasized her dedication to wedding etiquette in a YouTube video, noting, “I am so big on wedding guest etiquette. If your dress has a smidge of white in it, don’t wear it. I find it painfully awkward when anyone at a wedding wears anything that could look white.”
Yet even with her low-key ensemble, Molly-Mae could not escape attention. The influencer arrived at the venue on a £15,000 private jet from Manchester, accompanied by her two-year-old daughter, Bambi, who was one of Venezuela’s 18 child bridesmaids. Her presence, along with the celebrity status of her family, inevitably became a talking point among guests, overshadowing some of the finer details of Venezuela’s own big day.
The birthday celebration had been carefully planned, with hundreds of friends, family members, and extended relatives of the traveling Fury clan in attendance. Even with a meticulously prepared 40-foot train on Venezuela’s dress, the buzz largely swirled around Molly-Mae’s understated appearance, the attention she garnered, and the absence of Tommy Fury, who remained in Manchester for a boxing training camp.
To make matters more complex, Molly-Mae shielded Bambi’s face from the cameras with an umbrella, sparking social media speculation about her intentions and fueling discussions about the family dynamics. For Venezuela, this was another reminder of the influence and magnetism her famous aunt exerts on any gathering.
Nevertheless, Venezuela continued to carry herself with poise and confidence, behaving as though she were in Molly-Mae’s league despite the glaring attention disparity. Speaking to her Instagram followers while en route to her Marbella honeymoon with Noah Price, she explained, “I’m not going to tell youse where we are going, because I don’t want youse showing up.” The young bride, mindful of fans’ curiosity, took precautions to maintain privacy for the newlyweds.
Upon her return from the honeymoon, Venezuela plans to trade life in her parents’ luxurious £8million mansion for a more modest two-bedroom static caravan, which her parents gifted to her and Noah as a starter home. Photos shared on TikTok reveal a stylish interior, including a marble bathroom with a freestanding bath, a cream kitchen overlooking woodland, a living room with a built-in TV cabinet and fireplace, and a bedroom outfitted with wardrobes and fresh grey carpeting.
Despite her relative lack of fame compared to Molly-Mae, Venezuela appears determined to establish her own social media presence, leveraging her public exposure to build a career as an influencer. Meanwhile, the newlyweds are currently enjoying a £30,000 honeymoon – also a gift from her parents, with an additional £5million to start their life together. On the Spanish coast, Venezuela and Noah were spotted holding hands and kissing along the beaches of Puerto Banús, seemingly besotted with each other and momentarily free from the pressures of family and fans.
With Molly-Mae nearly 3,000 miles away in the UK, there is no immediate risk of her overshadowing Venezuela’s honeymoon. However, the looming arrival of Molly-Mae’s second child in two weeks might reintroduce the potential for comparison. For now, though, Venezuela can enjoy her post-wedding celebrations with her new husband, taking the spotlight as the bride and budding influencer.
The rivalry, real or perceived, underscores the complexities of blending family, fame, and social media influence, even within a single extended family. While Molly-Mae’s status as an influencer is firmly established, Venezuela’s journey is just beginning, and her experiences at her 16th birthday celebration serve as a formative moment in her ascent.
