Personal Life
Taylor has always played the 'archetypal drummer' role in Duran Duran; he has always preferred to keep a low profile and is very rarely seen in the media or at public events outside of band commitments. Taylor had three children – James, Ellea and Elliot – with his first wife, whom he later divorced. In 2004, Taylor was named Britain's fifth most eligible bachelor in the UK high society magazine the Tatler, alongside Prince William and Hugh Grant. In 2007, Taylor married Peruvian national Gisella Bernales on the Caribbean island of St Lucia, she gave birth to their first child, a son named Julian Roger, on 9 July 2011. They now live in South West London.
In 2002, Taylor appeared on the "Twelve Drummers Drumming" Christmas card in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" set sold at Woolworths to raise money for the NSPCC – alongside the "other" Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen.

“A man’s whole life is taxed for the least thing well done. It is its net result.”
