Taylor Ward, the influencer and daughter of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward, shared a series of holiday snaps on Instagram showing her growing baby bump and asked followers for baby boy name suggestions as she prepares for her second child with husband Riyad Mahrez.
In images posted Wednesday, Ward, 27, posed on a balcony in a chocolate-coloured co-ord consisting of a semi-sheer lace one-shoulder crop top and a matching maxi skirt, paired with gold thong sandals, a mini beige Miu Miu bag and oval sunglasses. The mother-of-one, who styled her hair in a sleek bun and wore gold earrings, also shared a beach shot holding her two-year-old daughter, Mila.
Ward captioned the post by asking followers for inspiration: "What are your baby boy names that you love but didn't use? Inspo needed ❤️" The couple announced their second pregnancy in June in a video in which Ward posed in unbuttoned jeans while Mahrez, 34, touched her stomach and the couple held polaroid images of a baby scan as their daughter watched.
Ward and Mahrez share daughter Mila. Mahrez is also father to two daughters, Ayla and Inaya, from his previous marriage to model Rita Johal. Followers responded to the June announcement with congratulatory messages.
Ward has spoken previously about wanting a larger family. She told fans she had been content after the birth of Mila but that, as her eldest child grew, she felt ready for another. "I want to have more children - I'm not finished having kids yet," she said, adding that she could "probably handle two now" and that she thought "four or five is a nice number for me."
The couple have marked their relationship with several ceremonies. They became engaged in 2021, held a Muslim wedding ceremony in January 2022 and staged a legal ceremony at The Londoner Hotel in September 2023. In July of last year they marked their union with a three-day celebration in Lake Como, Italy, at Villa Balbiano, a property noted in reports for its expansive gardens and past appearances in the film House of Gucci.
Ward is the daughter of Dawn Ward and former footballer Ashley Ward. The Instagram post continues a pattern of public updates from the family as they share moments from their private life with followers while preparing for the arrival of their second child.
