Taylor Ward is a beauty influencer and entrepreneur who has built an incredible audience on social media. She currently has more than 2.5 million Instagram followers — and the vast majority of them have clicked “follow” in the last two years. She has put her profile to good use by setting up a jewellery brand, Astalia, with her sister Darby. She is in a relationship with Manchester City ace and Algerian international captain Riyad Mahrez, and the pair recently welcomed their first child into the world: a daughter named Mila.

Ward was born in January 1998 and is the daughter of former Premier League striker turned property investor Ashley Ward and interior designer Dawn Ward. She entered the spotlight at a young age when her mother became one of the stars of ITV’s Real Housewives of Cheshire, joining the show for its first series in 2015 and remaining as part of the main cast for a further 11 series.

Ward enjoyed the best upbringing money can buy, attending the prestigious Rugby School, before studying fashion design at university and working as a model and DJ. She clearly also inherited her parents’ entrepreneurial streak as she and her sister Darby’s jewellery line proves. Her social media following has exploded in recent years, particularly on Instagram, as more and more people want to follow her journey.
