Tommy Fury has questioned Kim Kardashian's reported childcare arrangements after hearing that she has a team of 10 nannies and 'mannies' helping to care for her four children. Speaking during a conversation with his father, John Fury, Tommy admitted that he understands why wealthy parents might hire help but questioned why Kardashian would need such a large team.
The TV personality and professional boxer's comments have sparked a wider conversation about celebrity parenting, particularly when it comes to families who can afford extensive household staff.
While Kardashian's reported childcare setup is very different from what most parents experience, Tommy made it clear that he has nothing against parents getting help. His concern was with children being left with nannies for most of the day.
Tommy Fury on Kim Kardashian's Nannies
During a conversation on the What The Fury?! podcast, Tommy and his father John discussed Kardashian's reported team of carers.
Tommy opened by saying: 'Ten nannies and mannies raising Kim Kardashian's kids,' prompting John to respond that people who cannot look after their children themselves should not have them.
John compared the situation with his own childhood. He pointed out that his mother had looked after a large family without the kind of childcare support available to wealthy families today.
The conversation then turned to exactly how many children Kardashian has to warrant ten nannies and mannies. 'She's only got four kids,' Tommy said, expressing surprise.
Tommy stressed that he was not against parents having help with childcare. He explained that he and his long-term partner, Molly-Mae Hague, also have support with their daughter Bambi, but said they remain involved in her care throughout the day.
'I'm all for having some help on board and help you out. It's like me and Molly, we have help, but we're with Bambi every day, all day,' Tommy said. He added that they rely on help when either of them is working or they need to go out.
However, Tommy said he struggled to understand parents who leave their children with nannies for most of the day. 'I don't understand people who just dump the kids with the nannies... I don't understand that,' he pointed out.
Inside Kardashian's Team of Nannies & Mannies
Kardashian has four children with her ex-husband Kanye West: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. The children were born between 2013 and 2019 and have grown up in the spotlight alongside their famous parents.
Reports about Kardashian's childcare arrangements have described a sizeable team working around the children's schedules. According to The Sun in 2025, the reported team includes around 10 nannies and mannies, with the carers working in shifts, so they do not look after all four children at the same time.
Their responsibilities go beyond simply keeping an eye on the children. The carers have reportedly helped with areas including meals, clothing, laundry, transport and activities, while some staff have been associated with tutoring and other parts of the children's daily routines.
Does Having Nannies Make Parents Look Bad?
Tommy and John's comments raise questions about whether having a large childcare team makes a parent seem less involved. However, having nannies does not automatically mean a parent spends less time with their children.
For working parents, childcare can provide valuable support while they balance work and family life. In Kardashian's case, the reported number of carers has attracted attention because it is unusual for most families.
Tommy's main point was that he supports parents having help, but believes they should still be present in their children's everyday lives.
