A recent incident has caused distress within Adam Peaty’s family, following their absence from his wedding to Holly Ramsay. A family member received a photo from the wedding day, showing Adam with the Ramsays and Beckhams. The wedding took place at Bath Abbey on December 27, where Adam, 31, married Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly, 26. Due to a rift in the family, only Adam’s sister Bethany attended the wedding, with his mother Caroline being disinvited.
The photo, shared with Vogue magazine, captures the newlyweds alongside Gordon and Tana Ramsay, their son Jesse, and David and Victoria Beckham. The image was posted on a family member’s social media, causing further distress among the Peaty family members. They have made efforts to shield Adam’s parents from seeing the image to prevent additional heartache.
While expressing good wishes to the couple, a source emphasized the difficulty of the situation, highlighting the absence of the groom’s parents from the photo. The source mentioned the absence of Adam’s five-year-old son, George, from the image as well. This situation has deeply saddened the family, as they feel the absence of the groom’s parents was not by choice but due to Adam’s decision.
Furthermore, some fans have criticized the Beckhams for their presence at the wedding, labeling them as ‘hypocrites’ considering their own family issues. This criticism arose due to parallels drawn between Adam’s family situation and the Beckhams’ relationship dynamics with their son Brooklyn.
The tension escalated when Gordon Ramsay made remarks during his speech at the wedding reception that seemed to target Adam’s family. Gordon’s comments sparked controversy and hurt feelings within the Peaty family, with Caroline, Adam’s mother, feeling particularly offended by the speech.
The ongoing disputes between the Ramsays and the Peatys have been publicly discussed, shedding light on the underlying tensions and differences in backgrounds between the families. The clash of working-class origins with a more affluent lifestyle has been cited as a significant factor contributing to the strained relationships.
Despite the challenges and controversies surrounding the wedding, the couple, Adam and Holly, met in 2021 and got engaged in September 2024 after a whirlwind romance that began on the set of Strictly Come Dancing.
