After revealing earlier this week that she hadn't seen or spoken to her husband for over 'three months', Paris and Tyson are finally set to be reunited.
Parents-of-seven Paris, 35, and Tyson, 36, broke the heartbreaking news of their recent estrangement yesterday (18 Dec).

The boxing champion - who has recently been preparing for his upcoming world title fight against Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, set to take place this weekend - lifted the lid on his relationship during a promo chat with press.
He told presenter Dev Sahni on Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel that training had been a 'long camp', adding that he'd 'been away from my wife and kids for three months.'
"I've not spoken to Paris at all for three months, not one word," he continued.
"Yeah, I've sacrificed a lot. It will be worth it, 100 percent."

Naturally, the revelation didn't go down too well with many fans of the couple, one of whom hit out this week: "This isn't inspiring, instead this is just sad. He's abandoned his family for months. He could at least pick up the phone. Poor Paris".
Another questioned: "What's the logic in not talking to your wife at least on the phone or video chat? How does this help his training?"
Paris also chimed in on the matter earlier this week with a sad admission on social media.
Addressing the backlash he's received since revealing that his wife had been raising her colossal brood along since September, she defended Tyson, telling fans: "People don't see the sacrifices made."

Paris continued: "I've let him solely concentrate on this fight. It seems like he's been gone forever, especially with no contact. But if it's what he needs."
The couple's long wait to be reunited, however, is very nearly over, with Paris travelling to Saudi Arabia with eldest son Prince John James, 13, today (19 Dec).
Again, taking to Instagram, the Netflix star - who previously starred alongside Tyson and their many children in hit docu-series At Home With The Furies - revealed she'd been long preparing for this week's excursion to the Middle East.

"On our way @tysonfury," she penned in the caption of a new selfie.
This week's debacle isn't the first time that Paris has been forced to address speculation about the status of their unconventional relationship.
She previously wrote in her 2021 memoir, Love and Fury: "With Tyson devoting much of his time to boxing, I knew that Venezuela [their daughter] and I would be spending a lot of time together by ourselves."
Paris went on to say: "By then we’d moved temporarily to a rented semi in Manchester close to Jimmy Egan’s gym, a renowned boxing academy in Wythenshawe where Tyson was keen to train.

"I can’t say I was massively happy there - it just didn’t feel like home, and I found it hard to settle - but I knew I had to be a good wife and mother and make it work."
Elsewhere in the novel, she admitted that her husband's bustling schedule often puts a 'strain' on their romance, writing: "His undefeated record was a great achievement, and I was so proud of him, but his punishing schedule of bouts was starting to take a toll on our relationship.
"Everything was becoming a bit strained, a bit forced."
She continued: "And even though I knew my husband had a job to do, I still felt a little resentful that I was the one stuck in the bungalow, caring for the kids and keeping the place nice.
"I started to feel quite isolated, and became worried we were growing apart - I could really sense the distance widening between us - and I think Tyson felt the same."
