Ex-Man City star ties the knot with stunning model for second time – and third is planned
After winning the Treble with Manchester City last season, it seems Riyad Mahrez can now only do things in threes after having the second of his trio of weddings
Riyad Mahrez has tied the knot with WAG Taylor Ward for a second time - with their third wedding ceremony planned.
Former Manchester City star Mahrez, who left the Premier League champions this summer to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, first began dating Taylor in 2020. The 25-year-old model is the daughter of former Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers striker Ashley and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn.
Mahrez, 32, got down on one knee for her just 16 months into their relationship - and they had a secret Islamic law marriage in January 2022. They did so ahead of welcoming their first child together, Mila. Mahrez already had two daughters - Inaya and Ayla - from a previous marriage.
All three were in attendance on Monday (September 4) to see their dad wed Taylor at the five-star Londoner Hotel in the English capital.

This time they had all their family and friends around them as they said their vows. Taylor has since posted snaps from the day for her 2.7million Instagram followers.
She wowed in a stunning open-legged dress while Mahrez donned a black tuxedo. Their joint Insta upload was captioned: "Marry your best friend, part one."

Before Taylor added: "Thank you for my beautiful dress @lihihod it was perfect @brownsbride. And @chicpr_ for making the day so special."

There were plenty of celebs and footballers in the comments section. Her mum Dawn wrote: "The most amazing day you all look incredible. Me and Dad are super proud, love you all so much."
Mahrez's team-mate Allan Saint-Maximin commented: "Very beautiful, it's strong [love heart emoji]." Ilkay Gundogan's partner Sara replied: "Omg congratulations, love it."
Love Island star and Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, meanwhile, added: "You look beautiful, congratulations."
Mahrez had jetted in from the Middle East having played in Ahli's 5-1 defeat to Al-Fateh less than 48 hours earlier. He's now on international duty with Algeria. He and Taylor plan to make it a hat-trick with another lavish wedding abroad next year.
