Manchester City winger, Riyad Mahrez, 30, has proposed to his girlfriend of 16 months, Taylor Ward, 23, with a custom-made £400,000 (K448, 964, 000) engagement ring.

According to The Sun’s source, “Taylor was not expecting this at all, and was utterly over the moon. She and Riyad make an amazing couple, and they’re so loved-up. Riyad chose the ring himself and had it specially made”.

Ward, who is a model and brand influencer, took to her Instagram page to share the news with her followers and wrote: “Here’s to a lifetime of us.”

There’s no one I’d rather do this life with, here’s to a lifetime of us. Can’t wait to grow old together, btw I said YES! I Love You.”

In October 2020, it was confirmed that Mahrez is in a relationship with model Taylor Ward.

However, it seems both are now ready to officially settle down.

Taylor is the daughter of Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Dawn and retired footballer, Ashley Ward.

Meanwhile, Mahrez was previously married to Rita Johal, with whom he was together for six good years.

However, the pair later got divorced despite having two daughters together.

Meanwhile, other celebrities have been congratulating Mahrez and Taylor on their engagement.

The Algeria international is one of the highest-paid African footballers in the world following his big-money move to Manchester City two and half years ago.

Mahrez helped Pep Guardiola’s side to win the Premier League and League Cup, although they lost to Chelsea in the Champions League final.
