Taylor cuddled Mila, who looked as excited as ever, as they held polaroid snaps of the baby scan
While Riyad was seen lovingly embracing his daughter as she got more and more excited in the video.
The couple were flooded with comments from followers, who flocked to share their congratulations to the expanding family.
Taylor previously shared her hopes of having more children with Riyad in the future, saying: 'I want to have more children - I'm not finished having kids yet.
'After I had Mila, it was amazing, but I felt satisfied with one, I thought one would be enough for me, and now she's reached the age she has [over two-and-half years-old] I could probably handle two now, and I don't know how long that goes on for.
'When do you reach the point where you think, right, I've had enough now? Obviously, I've got Inaya and Ayla as well so that's three, including Mila. I think four or five is a nice number for me.'
It comes after Taylor revealed had her breast implants removed so she could dress more conservatively in the future.
Speaking to MailOnline in April, she explained: 'There was such a long list of reasons why I wanted them doing. I couldn't breastfeed because of the size of them.
'I feel like I waited a really long for that moment, and I knew that it was something I wouldn't feel comfortable on my wedding day if I hadn't sorted it out - I definitely wanted them done before the wedding.
'I didn't feel like they were in proportion with the rest of my body shape. I covered them a lot just because I didn't like how big they were. When you've got children and you're married, you kind of want to look more modest, I think.'
Asked if she was scared to have the surgery, Taylor added: 'It's not something you do lightly, and when you've got kids that is something you think about a lot more. Obviously, it's dangerous at the end of the day, you never know what could happen.
'You've got the worry of, am I going to like them when I wake up? Is it going to be what I want? Have I made the right decision?
'All of those thoughts kind of go through your head. I just wanted the surgery to go well, wake up and everything have gone smoothly. I knew I was I good hands.'
Taylor and Riyad moved to Saudi Arabia two years ago after he booked a lucrative £30million move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
While the nature of his career means they have to spend a lot of time apart, Taylor said that she doesn't mind that they don't 'live in each other's pockets'.
She said: 'I think absence makes the heart grow fonder. I actually think me and Riyad love each other so much more when he's been way for a bit, because I kind of remember what I missed – I think, I actually really like you again.
'It works quite well that we don't live in each other's pockets, and to have your own life separately, and then come together and do those things as a family. Spending time as a family is what we love to do most.'
Asked how she helps Riyad if he's hard a hard day at work, Taylor insisted the couple don't speak about his career much at all.
She said: 'Me and Riyad don't really speak about football, so I think when he comes home it's a good distraction, and it's time to switch off.
'We do everything else other than speak about football, and I think that's a nice thing. Even if the games gone really well, or it's gone really bad, he can come home and talk or do something completely different. I don't really cook, but I am trying'.

Grandmother suffers fractured skull, bruising and a bleed on the brain after being run down by cyclist in front of her six-year-old grandchild
A grandmother was left with a fractured skull, bruising and bleeding on the brain after being run down by a cyclist in front of her terrified grandchild. Janice Hobby-Ford, 62, was carrying shopping across the road near her home in Diglis, Worcester, when she was hit by a bike on May 23. She had been crossing the heavily congested road at a set of traffic lights when a 'speeding' bike suddenly raced by and crashed into her - sending her sprawling to the ground. The grandmother-of-seven woke up in Worcestershire Royal Hospital with a bleed on the brain, a fractured skull and a broken shoulder. Speaking about her traumatic ordeal, he said: 'He could have killed me - I have my son's wedding in August and I look like a state. 'My six-year-old grandchild was blubbing. I'm in so much pain and bruised. 'He was on zig zags and speeding. Even though I stepped out, I wasn't expecting a cyclist.' Police got to the scene and an ambulance was called, however a man passing by offered to take her to A&E to avoid any wait. The accident happened as she crossed the lights whilst the cars were stationary even though the lights were on green. Ms Hobby-Ford was in hospital for three nights before being discharged on May 26 to continue recovering at home. She said she originally thought the cyclist did not stop at the scene - but has since learned that he did. She said: 'He hasn't been in touch to say sorry but supposedly he shouted something when we were getting in the car to go to hospital. 'He could have been racing to get home for some reason. 'Maybe he didn't mean it, not everyone in the world is bad.'

'I was devastated - I went into complete panic and started focusing on getting her to the hospital. 'I knew she was in a bad way as she kept asking me where she was. 'We then took her to get a CT scan, and she had a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain.'
