Made In Chelsea‘s James Taylor and Maeva D’Ascanio have sparked wedding rivalry with fellow show stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo ahead of both couple’s upcoming nuptials.
James, 27, and Maeve, 26, who have been together for three years and are expecting a baby together, got engaged in April while visiting the Trevi Fountain in Rome, while Jamie, 33, and Sophie, 28, announced in December that they too are soon set to say ‘I do’.
And James has jokingly claimed his and Maeva’s wedding is going to be in a ‘different league’ from Jamie and Sophie’s, with Maeva insisting: ‘A race horse doesn’t compete with a pony.’

Revealing their plans to get married in 2023, Maeva told Johnny Seifert on the Secure The Insecure podcast: ‘The plans are for a Christmas wedding next year but that’s it for now. It’s going be here in England. We’re just waiting to actually start the process of organising the wedding.
‘Right now we’re trying to be focused on the baby. Otherwise, it’s too much to think about.’
When asked if the guest list would have many of the same names as Jamie and Sophie’s big day, James added: ‘There will be similar guests, but there’s no competition, right?

‘When you’re in a different league, there’s a different competition. I’m saying it’s Premier League stuff. We’re at the top race.’
Maeva chimed in: ‘A race horse doesn’t compete with a pony.’
James laughed: ‘I think we like we like to throw a bit of shade here and there. Honestly, we’re really happy for them. We’re not close enough to be in competition.’
‘We’re happy for them, but we’re happier for us. So we will enjoy our stay and our winter wedding.’

Meanwhile James and Maeva spoke of their plans to remain a part of the Made In Chelsea cast.
‘We definitely are very much to people that go with the flow,’ James said. ‘I do have more of a sideline business. So it’s a family company that I’m very involved with. That’s where my foot out the door from the reality TV world is going.
‘Maeve on the other hand, goes into these other shows and cleans up and really enjoys it.
‘And I think it’s something so fresh for like an English TV audience to see maybe, in all of her Frenchness, because I see it day in and day out.
‘But to answer your question, we’ll both do it until we think the time is up.’
Bling! James and Maeva got engaged in April this year while visiting the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy
A dream come true: French reality TV personality Maeva recently shared a picture of one of the couple’s baby scans as they await the arrival of their first child this November
Maeva and James are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby in November after announcing the fiery French beauty was pregnant in May.
James proposed in April with a 2.5-carat pear-shaped diamond engagement ring which he designed – and had already asked Maeva’s father for permission to marry her last year.
The engagement may have come as a surprise to some Made In Chelsea viewers after James admitted to kissing another girl behind Maeva’s back on the show earlier this year, in what he described as a ‘drunken night’ at a London club.
James’ romantic gesture also came weeks after he rejected Maeva when she got down on one knee in scenes filmed for the E4 series.
The reality star confessed to drunkenly kissing another woman behind Maeva’s back, saying he ‘hated’ himself for betraying her.
