In September 2022, Taylor became the host of a new FS1 show titled ‘SPEAK’, with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce, which airs weekdays from 5pm to 7pm.

Just over a year later, the couple split in November 2019 – but it is unclear why.
Taylor is not believed to currently be in a relationship, and in 2021 she took to social media to reveal she has no plans to have children.
She wrote: ‘I’ve never wanted kids and I don’t want to be pregnant. If one of your gender [men] can convince me one day then perhaps, but it rests at a firm 99.9% chance of no at this moment.’
