Taylor Ward, 23, and Riyad Mahrez, 30, mark engagement with glam bash

Dawn Ward’s daughter Taylor, 23, and footballer Riyad Mahrez, 30, mark their engagement with glam bash… with a white theme, elaborate décor and a VERY sexy mother-of-the-bride


Taylor Ward, 23, and her fiancé Riyad Mahrez, 30, marked their engagement in true footballer and WAG-to-be style on Sunday night. 

The daughter of Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Dawn Ward and the Manchester City ace threw a white party with their nearest and dearest, where no holds were barred with all the blinging trimmings thrown in. 

The couple announced their engagement on Instagram in July, with Riyad reportedly proposing with a £400,000 ring. The footballer popped the question during the couple’s luxury summer trip to Mykonos with their family and friends.

Taylor was dressed in bridal white for the occasion as she glammed up in a sizzling sheer jumpsuit with lace appliqués covering her modesty. 

Not to be outdone on the glam stakes, her mum Dawn, 47, looked nothing short of sensational in an eye-wateringly tight white jumpsuit. 

The one-piece featured a bustier top with a nipped in waist and spaghetti straps – all acting to show off her age-defying frame. 

The party was decorated with neon lighting and huge T&R lights, which sat alongside the dancefloor, which was packed with fellow revellers.

In her initial announcement in summer, Taylor shared two loved-up snaps on Instagram and captioned the post: ‘Here’s to a lifetime of us.’

Taylor penned: ‘There’s no one I’d rather do this life with, here’s to a lifetime of us. Can’t wait to grow old together, btw I said YES! I Love You.’   

The bride-to-be’s mum is Dawn and dad retired footballer Ashley Ward, 50, looked sensational in the snaps. 

It is thought that winger Riyad, who was previously married for six years to Rita Johal and shares two daughters with his ex-wife, proposed after lunch on Monday.

Seemingly not present at the party was Taylor’s sister Darby, who has recently welcomed her first child to the world. 

The 25-year-old, who is engaged to businessman Michael Jackson, welcomed her first child earlier this month and took to Instagram to share snippets of life with her newborn while her reality star mum shared gushing messages. 

Dawn and former Premiere League footballer Ashley wed in 1995 and share four daughters, Darby, Aston, Charlie and Taylor, although little Skye – who she branded ‘the most perfect grandchild ever’ – is her first grandchild.
