It’s been seven years since James Taylor burst onto the SW3 scene and joined the cast of Made in Chelsea and since then he’s been involved in some major storylines.
The London lothario romanced a number of ladies during his time on the show including Eliza Batten and Verity Bowditch, but his womanising ways came to an end when he started dating Maeva D’Ascanio in 2019.
Nowadays, James is one of the much more calmer MIC cast members, what with being a dad and all, but he is always on hand to offer up a sarcastic comment. However, it looks like things are about to get a whole lot more dramatic for James in series 28 as a teaser for the latest season shows what looks like an explosive storyline for him, Maeva and Miles Nazaire.
Who is James Taylor?
James is a reality star and model who is best known for appearing on Made in Chelsea.
How old is James Taylor?
James was born on 9 April 1995, meaning he's currently 29 years old.
Where is James Taylor from?
James grew up with his mum, dad and three siblings in Saffron Walden, a small town in Essex.
What does James Taylor do?
Before joining Made in Chelsea, James studied Global Business Management at Regent’s University London from 2014-2018. He was awarded one of the university’s two polo scholarships and has played at a range of clubs including Cambridge, Exeter and Dallas. The most MIC sentence ever right there.
James’ lavish lifestyle, including his own private plane and a spa inside his house, often gets a mention on the show. Not much is known about James’ family or how they became so bloomin' rich, although they have their own business which is linked to sales engineering. It’s even thought that James could take over the business one day.
When was James Taylor on Made in Chelsea?
His first appearance on the show was in 2017 when he taught his pal Sam Prince how to play polo.
Once again, so Chelsea it hurts.
During his time on MIC James developed a bit of a reputation after two-timing Verity and Eliza.
He flew Verity to Paris for a date before doing the exact same thing for Eliza and telling her she's "the only girl [he] would do that for".
However, it wasn't long before Eliza realised he was still messaging Verity.
Fast forward to now and James has a minor role on the show and spent the majority of last season keeping the peace between wife Maeva and Sam.
Are James Taylor and Maeva D’Ascanio married?
They sure are. In November, James and Maeva confirmed they'd tied the knot and a year prior they welcomed baby boy Beau into the world.
Posting a photo from their wedding day on Instagram, they both captioned the photo, "Yes! We did it!! Now we can't wait to celebrate with all our family and friends."
The couple were also voted as MIC's 'favourite couple' and we can't work out whether that's fabulous or insane.
What happened with James Taylor and Tristan Phipps?
The former besties fell out essentially because Tristan [Phipps] couldn't see eye to eye with Maeva. To top it off Maeva also didn't get on all that well with Tristan's then girlfriend, Liv Bentley.
But in a more recent series of MIC the two couples made peace and were more than pleasant to each other; Maeva even offered Liv a shoulder to cry on when her relationship with Tristan came to an end.
Who is James Taylor's brother?
James' younger brother Jack Taylor is one of Made in Chelsea's newest cast members, having joined the show alongside the likes of Zeyno Taylan, Julia Pollard and Sam Vanderpump earlier this year.
Does James Taylor have Instagram?
