“Venezuela was 16 when she got engaged, I was 17 when I got engaged. Me and Tyson have been together for 20 years, and we couldn’t be any happier. Our life is great, so all I can do is hope it’s the same for her,” Paris told Metro UK. “As for people’s opinions, there’s always going to be an opinion. I don’t understand it. I don’t get it.”

Paris reiterated, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t realize she was going to end the life? I don’t get it. She’s getting married, they have plans to travel the world, do different things together, he’s doing boxing, Venezuela is doing her social media work… We don’t see the problem. If she’s happy, he’s happy, we’re happy, I don’t understand it at all. I don’t get the quotes and the things they say to me, all I can think is these people mustn’t have had very happy relationships.”

Venezuela also spoke out.

“They’re trying to put negativity around it, but there really isn’t any there. I don’t see the problem,” she said.

Paris shares seven children with Tyson.

“I got married at 18, we’re blissfully happy. Yes, we’ve had our ups and downs, but all relationships have ups and downs. Venezuela knows that, I’ve told her nothing is really smooth sailing but I don’t understand the backlash, I don’t get it,” she added. “These cynical people that keep pushing down on a 16 year old’s life… I don’t understand it at all.”
