Man City ace Riyad Mahrez takes new girlfriend Taylor Ward out for lunch in Hale Village with Benjamin Mendy and pals The loved-up couple - who recently went on a French getaway together - popped out for lunch in Cheshire today. Premier League winner Mahrez, 29, and fashion student Ward, 22, had gone out for a spin in his Audi to Hale Village when they bumped into World Cup winner Mendy. Mahrez kept a low profile as he walked round with the hood up on his white hoodie but kissed his new lady on the cheek as they strolled past shops. Ward is the daughter of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn and former Blackburn Rovers and Bradford City striker Ashley. Videos posted on social media showed Mahrez, his girlfriend and her family enjoying a lunch at a posh beach restaurant in Cannes before later partying at the exclusive Medusa nightspot. The group also chartered a private yacht for a trip around the Mediterranean Sea. The Sun on Sunday revealed in February how dad-of-two Mahrez - who recently had three luxury watches stolen in a raid on his £500,000 penthouse - and Taylor had started dating after he split with wife Rita, 25. A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Taylor and Riyad have been close for quite some time now, but it’s still a big step to go on holiday with the parents of your girlfriend. “But he likes them and they think he’s a lovely, respectful guy. “They are both young so who knows where the relationship will end up going, but at the moment they are having a great time.” Fashion student Taylor and Riyad, who is French-born but the captain of Algeria, have previously been pictured together leaving Manchester’s China White nightclub last New Year’s Eve. And she has been a regular at the Etihad stadium to cheer him on and the rest of his team-mates, including Sergio Aguero - who she was previously romantically linked to.
