Paris Fury shares sweet family photo as she celebrates glam christening for daughter Athena

Paris Fury has shared adorable photos of her family as they celebrated youngest daughter Athena's christening.

Posting a selection of snaps to Instagram, Paris, the wife of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, captioned the post: "Our beautiful baby Athena’s christening day. So blessed to have our special girl."

In one, Tyson is holding Athena, with Paris by his side. They are surrounded by their five older children: Venezuela, 12, four-year-old Valencia Amber and sons Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, five and Prince Adonis, two.

The glam christening included a two-tiered pink and white cake with Athena's name on it, as well as glazed doughnuts, cookies and cake-pops. A pink chocolate fountain was also featured - as was a children's play area and a photobooth.

The venue was kitted out with small trees with pink and white décor and Athena's name was in lights. The youngster will celebrate her first birthday in August.

Athena was admitted to intensive care after she was born on August 8 and was later readmitted. Boxing champion Tyson announced Athena's arrival with the message posted to Instagram: "Please can everyone pray for my baby girl who was born this morning. Athena Fury born 8/8/21. Thanks. God is great."

The following week he asked for people's prayers as his daughter went back in ICU and the next day he posted: "Update for everyone. Athena is doing well and has had a stable day off ventilator."

She was allowed to return home with her parents the following week and Paris shared the first image of the family all together. The couple announced that Paris was pregnant in February 2021 before revealing they were expecting a baby girl at a gender reveal party in March.

They have been married since 2009 and are doting parents to their six children.
