Sports News] In a recently released documentary featuring Taylor Ward, the
beloved wife of Riyad Mahrez, she opens up about her husband’s unexpected move
last summer. In the documentary, Taylor discusses her initial reaction to her
husband’s departure and transfer to the Saudi Arabian club, Jeddah Nationals,
from Manchester City. Reflecting on the sudden turn of events, Taylor shares,
“I was on an emotional roller coaster for the entire week; it was a
massive shock. The day before, we were enjoying our vacation and planning for
the upcoming preseason, and then overnight, we found out we were relocating to
Saudi Arabia. It was truly overwhelming and surprising. I never expected this
to happen.” Prior to their engagement, Taylor had a successful career as a
model. The couple got engaged in June 2022 after dating for 16 months. On
September 5, 2023, Mahrez and Taylor celebrated their second wedding at a
luxurious five-star hotel in London. They embraced a traditional Muslim wedding
ceremony and formalized their union with legal vows. The wedding garnered
tremendous attention, with friends and family joining in to celebrate what was
hailed as the wedding of the century.
