followers alongside her husband and daughter, Mila. The family is set to expand as Taylor revealed she is pregnant in the adorable update. Taylor, who is the daughter of Real Housewives of

Cheshire star Dawn Ward, appeared in a clip alongside Riyad and Mila. She captioned the post: "Our family is growing," alongside a white heart emoji. Riyad, who is also a dad to

two daughters, Ayla and Inaya, with his former partner Rita Johal, joined Taylor in the emotional video alongside their children. The couple both wore white T-shirts as Taylor showed her

growing baby bump and held up her scan photos. Their 2-year-old daughter, Mila, kissed Taylor's stomach as Riyad gently held onto his wife. Mila beamed as she also held onto the scan

photos of her incoming brother or sister. The couple also filmed the touching moment they told Riyad's daughters about their happy news as the girls were handed photos at the same time.

as their daughters dug into a cake that revealed either pink or blue depending on the gender of the baby. The couple were flooded with comments from their celebrity pals as TOWIE's

Ferne McCann said: "Congrats x x x x." Love Island's Grace Jackson commented: "Congratulations." Model Roxy Horner wrote: "Congratulations babe," and

Lottie Tomlinson gushed: "Yay congratulations." Earlier this year, the couple revealed their plans for a large family as Riyad admitted he "wants a football team" of

children. “Riyad would love a football team,” Taylor told the Mirror. “He’s a brilliant dad. He needs more kids, that’s for sure.” Influencer Taylor first married footballer Riyad in 2022 in

an intimate Muslim ceremony at home. The pair legally became husband and wife at The Londoner Hotel surrounded by 30 of their closest family and friends in September 2023. Their lavish

final ceremony was in July 2024, just days after Mila’s second birthday. “I have three sisters, so I want to give Mila the same. I want her to have a big family,” said Taylor, who has a very

close bond with her glamorous sisters Darby, Charlie and Aston. Mila will turn three in July, and Taylor told us she was ready to embark on another pregnancy – and spend sleepless nights

with her newborn. “I’ve got to carry the children and do the pregnancy, which is not easy,” said Taylor. “The newborn stage is a lot more challenging than people think. "Those sleepless

nights are probably what’s made me hold off having another one straight away. But I’m definitely more ready now than I ever have been.” Article continues below Of course with a husband

earning an estimated £44million a year playing for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, Taylor has a nanny plus staff to help around their gorgeous home. However, she maintained she’s still a very

hands-on mum. “I do have a nanny and I do have house help but we live abroad,” explained Taylor. “I don’t have any of my family, I don’t have any of Riyad’s family in Saudi so we have zero

family support." READ MORE: Doctor tells Brit dad to 'carry on' as he loses two stone in two months with one change _LIKE THIS STORY? FOR MORE OF THE LATEST SHOWBIZ NEWS AND
