Just days before she was set to support her world champion husband Tyson Fury at his much-anticipated bout against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, Paris Fury, mother of seven, underwent a gender scan appointment that took an unexpected turn.
"I was alone at the time," Paris disclosed. "Tyson was in Saudi Arabia getting ready for his fight in the training camp, I'd had my 12-week scan, and everything was well, so I'd just popped in for a gender scan."
However, upon expecting the joyous glimpse of life during her ultrasound, Paris felt a chilling sense of dread: "I knew there was a problem. I didn't know, my head was sort of telling me, actually, no, you're wrong... but I was looking at screen, thinking, 'Why is that not flickering? '".
The atmosphere turned tragic as the sonographer delivered the heartbreaking confirmation: "The sonographer said to me, 'I'm really sorry, Paris, there's no heartbeat. I jumped up, started to cry, and said, 'No, hold on, hold on. No, no, wait,' and went all frantic.", reports the Mirror.
In her disbelief, Paris insisted on another scan. Still reeling from the initial news, Paris was advised to visit Lancaster Hospital the following day for absolute certainty about her baby's condition.
Paris recounted the moment she left the building in tears: "I thought, 'I can't go home to the kids and be crying and hysterical like this.'".
She also made the decision not to tell Tyson immediately for fear it would throw him off before the match. She said: "I had to make the decision, do I tell him? And I came to the conclusion that whatever was happening with me, I couldn’t change it. But I could change dramatically what was happening in his life.
Resolute in her decision to speak out, Paris said: "I knew it would come out and the day it did, I was OK to talk about it."
She revealed her belief that sharing such experiences helps others feel less alone: "It makes it normal for other people to know that they're not the only ones it happens to."
