Paris Fury has shared the real reason why she and Tyson named all four of their sons Prince.
The reality TV star, 36, shares seven children with the British boxer, 37 - four boys and three girls, all of whom feature in their Netflix show, At Home With The Furys, which dropped its second season this month.
And while the girls are called Venezuela, 16 Valencia, eight, and Athena, four, one detail that stuck out to fans was how all of the boys have exactly the same moniker.
They're called Prince John James, 15, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, seven, and Prince Rico Paris, two.

Tyson said on the reality TV show that the unique choice is connected to his boxing nickname, 'The Gypsy King,' as 'they're princes until they earn their rightful name'.
But, speaking on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast on Wednesday (22 April), Paris revealed that there's actually a different story that the sportsman didn't tell.
The mother-of-seven explained: "The boys do all have the same first name, the boys are all called Prince - really confusing when you speak to a doctor.
"Because I was really high when I was giving birth to Prince, and he was gonna be called John James all along. Very traditional, very nice."
However, when she gave birth to her first son in 2011, she looked at him and at the last minute, simply thought that he 'didn't look like a John James'.
Paris recalled: "So, we were thinking of different names and then Prince came up and I was like, 'Prince, he has to be a prince, he's my prince'.
"And then three days later, I was like, 'Oh, I named that baby Prince'. So that's how he got Prince."
Joking about her husband's version of events, she revealed: "Tyson tells another story because he's the Gypsy King, and these kids all got Prince because he's the King."
Paris added: "And then when we had another boy, we found out we were having little Tyson, he said, 'Well, you can't call one a prince without the other. They've all got to be Prince'.
"I said, 'That's crazy, you can't do that,' and he went, 'No, we'll just do it, and like, it's okay, it won't matter.'. I thought, as long as we don't tell anyone.
"And then that didn't work either, so yeah, we ended up with four Princes. It's very confusing."
She laughed: "When you book a holiday, they actually think you're telling lies cause you're like 'yeah, Prince Fury, Prince Fury, Prince Fury, Prince Fury.'"
Thankfully, apart from the OG eldest Prince, the parents refer to their sons mostly by their middle names and nicknames, to avoid any more confusion.
