Dominique Beyrand
Dominique Marie Beyrand Taylor is of French and Portugese descent.
Queen drummer Roger Taylor met Dominique on September 1976 during the planning of Queen's free concert at Hyde Park. She was Richard Branson's personal assistant.
Roger and Dominique were together for 12 years and had two children together (son actor Felix Taylor, born on 22 May 1980, and daughter doctor Rory Eleanor Taylor, born on 29 May 1986).
By 1988 he was being involved with Deborah Leng, the girl in the highly suggestive Cadbury's Flake television commercial, sixteen years his junior, for a few months, since she had appeared in one of The Cross' videos. What many were unable to comprehend was the ultra-orthodox manner in which he went about making their relationship more permanent - marrying his long-time girlfriend, Dominique Beyrand, on 25 January 1988 with Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin signing the register as witnesses, then apparently deserting her three weeks later to move into the £700.000 house he had purchased for Leng and himself. Taylor informed the press that he and Beyrand were undergoing a trial separation, while his mother told the 'People magazine', "The wedding was a love pact because the pair knew their relationship was doomed." It was David Wigg who broke the exclusive for the 'Daily Express', drawing the confession from Taylor, "I wanted to make a commitment to Dominique and out two children. I wanted to make my children legal and secure. Dominique is a terrific woman. We really are the best of friends."
Roger and Dominique are still friends and they got divorced before 2010.
