The glamorous 21-year-old is now dating Manchester City player Sergio Aguero, and already has the expensive tastes and burgeoning reality TV career to make her the perfect WAG-in-waiting.

Friends say Taylor - second child of Dawn, 45 and ex-Crewe Alexandra footballer Ashley Ward, 47, is in the early days of a relationship with the Argentine striker, 30, who was previously married to Diego Maradona's daughter Gianinna, 31.

We take a look at her lavish upbringing, famous exes - including Katie Price's on-off boyfriend Kris Boyson and Stephanie Davis' former fling Sam Reece - and burgeoning reality TV career...

£35k school and a £15m mansion

Taylor grew up, alongside sisters Darby, 22, Charlie, 10, and Aston, nine, in a £15m mansion Warford Hall, near affluent Alderley Edge, which features eleven bedrooms, a swimming pool, cinema room and 12.5 acres.

She attended the prestigious £35k-a-year Rugby School, and in 2016 revealed that her parents had already bought her a £24k Mercedes Benz before she'd even passed her driving test.

In 2017, she and sister Darby caused controversy among Real Housewives viewers when they revealed in an episode their plans to have boob jobs - and which led to the latter appearing on Loose Women to defend her decision to go under the knife aged 21.

The part-time model and DJ - who performs sets alongside Darby at exclusive Mahiki in Manchester and Club Arvina in Hale - is currently studying fashion in London, and previously told Manchester Evening News her .

She also boasts 185k followers on Instagram, where she promotes beauty products and shows off her high-end tastes - including her £700 Gucci trainers, holidays to Dubai and Ibiza and friendships with reality stars including Made In Chelsea star Emily Blackwell.

Dating Katie Price's ex

Unsurprisingly, given her upbringing surrounded by TV cameras and footballers, Taylor has a penchant for men in the public eye - and we're not just talking about Aguero.

In 2016, she was revealed to be dating Ex On The Beach star Sam Reece,  shortly after he split from Stephanie Davis.

He appeared on an episode of Real Housewives, where he was invited to lunch with her parents but the short romance came to an end soon afterwards.

Sam announced their split on Twitter, writing: "Unfortunately me and have called an end to our relationship.. However moving forward, we will remain good friends"

By early 2018, she was linked to Everton ace Mason Holgate, after being introduced through mutual friends, but decided to call time on their relationship after just a few months of dating.

A source close to the beauty said: “Taylor and Mason hit it off after hanging around in the same crowd and enjoyed several romantic dates together.

"But Taylor decided they weren’t quite the right fit as a couple in the long run so told him she was happier to be his mate instead."

Then, in September, she was revealed to be dating Katie Price’s on-off ex Kris Boyson after they met on a night out in Manchester.

A source said: “Kris met Taylor during a night out in Manchester and has been besotted by her ever since.

“He was introduced to the family by close pal Rykard Jenkins and has since been welcomed into their luxury home, even enjoying a Sunday roast with Taylor's famous mum Dawn.

“She’s young, beautiful and not short of a few quid which suits him just fine.”

But Taylor seems to have missed having a footie star on her arm - and just months later a romance started to brew between her and her current footballer beau.

A source said: “About two weeks ago they went for a spa day together.

“And they were on a pal’s Instagram too before Christmas.”

The Love Island mystery

She may have appeared several times on her mum's TV show - which has led to comparisons the Wards are the British version of the Kardashians - but Taylor appears to be keen to cast her net further afield.

Last year, after her split from Mason, Taylor was widely rumoured to be gearing up to appear on Love Island part-way through the 2018 series.

Speaking to OK! after the show had started, she said: “Everyone seems really nice and they are a good-looking bunch, but I don’t really have a type.

"It depends on someone’s personality for me so I would have to judge in there.”

The budding reality TV star added: "My dad says if I have sex on TV then I’d have to move country, so I’ve ruled that one out. I just don’t see why anyone would do it anyway.

"At the end of the day, if you like someone you can wait.”

 It is unclear why she never made an appearance - which she had hoped would boost her modelling career

"She has her mum’s full support and hopes it will help boost her modelling status too.”

Another said her apparent "no nonsense attitude" won over the producers.

They added: "Bosses really enjoyed meeting Taylor; she’s confident and definitely has all the qualities of a perfect islander.

"She understands the world of reality TV already with her mum being one of the stars of the Real Housewives of Cheshire but she’s still a normal girl who’s looking for love.

"Taylor is one of many to make the shortlist but is keeping her fingers crossed she makes it on the programme."

It is unclear why she didn't end up appearing on the ITV2 show - but it seems she didn't need to enter the villa to find love, after all.
