"Venezuela was 16 when she got engaged, I was 17 when I got engaged," Paris toldMetro UKin April. "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. As for people’s opinions, there’s always going to be an opinion. I don’t understand it. I don’t get it."
Paris, who shares seven children with Tyson, continued, "I’m sorry, but I didn’t realize she was going to end her 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."
