Taylor has spent a week in Italy alongside fellow reporters MJ Acosta, Jenise Fernandez, and Kelly Blanco, as well as Jordana DePaula DeSernia, who is the founder of a social media agency.
The trip is one they enjoy together every year, according to a post by DeSernia, who captioned a group snap on Instagram, “Annual girls trip with my babes.”
Throughout the trip, Taylor has been sharing updates on Instagram with her over 740,000 followers.
She kicked off her vacation with a trip to the stunning Lake Como, where she posed in a cream dress and pink head scarf on a boat, with the shots captioned, “Very demure.”
While taking in the scenery, Taylor also enjoyed some local delicacies, including a “blueberry cheesecake” ice cream she ate while posing in a blue and white patterned dress and green head scarf.
The group then headed for the Ligurian Sea, where Taylor wowed in a series of bikini snaps while dipping her toes in the water.
Of course, she couldn’t visit Italy without enjoying some pasta, which she accompanied with a plate of mussels and an Aperol Spritz.
Taylor later made her way to the seaside village of Portofino where she again showed off her incredible physique in a bright pink bikini.
“Dolce vibes in Portofino,” she captioned the post.
Throughout the week, Taylor’s Instagram comments sections have been filled with high praise from her fans.
“Absolutely gorgeous,” one such fan simply said.
“The definition of perfection,” commented a second.
“Beauty is her name,” added another.
While a fourth claimed, “Show’s not the same without you.”
The show in question was presumably Speak! which she has hosted since 2022.
Joy Taylor’s media rise
Joy Taylor has risen through the ranks at Fox Sports after joining the network in 2016.
She previously hosted Undisputed – where she moderated between Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe.
Taylor, 37, also worked on The Herd with Colin Cowherd and had her own self-titled radio show.
In September 2022, the presenter was announced as host of Speak, which she currently works alongside LeSean McCoy and Emmanuel Acho.
In her absence, DeSean Jackson, David Helman, and TJ Houshmandzadeh have all kept her seat warm ahead of her return.
However, when Taylor is back on set, things will soon look very different.
Fox recently announced that starting on September 3 they will be reshuffling their studio show lineups, while also adding a whole new show to the mix.
Taylor will be joined by former Undisputed co-hosts Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce.
They will remain in their usual time slot of 5-7pm ET.
As for Taylor’s current co-stars, Emmanuel Acho, James Jones, and LeSean McCoy, they will be the faces of a new show named The Facility, along with Chase Daniel.
That will be broadcast every weekday from 10am until noon ET.
