Adam Peaty previously had a close relationship with his parents, but in the lead up to his nuptials, things have seemingly fallen apart in the family. Below, we take a look at when and why the relationship turned
DECEMBER 2024 – ENGAGEMENT PARTY
Just a few months after Adam popped the question to Holly, the couple threw a lavish engagement party to celebrate the news. The party was filmed for Holly’s TV chef dad Gordon’s upcoming TV show, something which caused upset with the Peaty family.
“His mum was unhappy some of the family weren’t there and confronted Gordon at the event,” a source told The Sun, revealing things went “downhill” after the bash.
They said: “Guests were made to sign non-disclosure agreements and hand in phones as the party was filmed.”
NOVEMBER 2025 – ADAM’S STAG DO
Almost a year after things first soured, the feud started to make headlines when Adam’s brother, James was arrested during his stag do.
Adam’s brother James was arrested over allegations he had sent threats to the Olympian during the trip.
While he was later bailed, a source said at the time that Adam felt his mum was “enabling his brother’s actions rather than pushing him to deal with his demons.”
NOVEMBER 2025 – HOLLY’S HEN DO
Holly celebrated becoming a bride with a hen do at celeb hotspot Soho Farmhouse.
Her mum, Tana, a number of friends and Victoria Beckham were amongst the guestlist, but Adam’s mum wasn’t invited.
At the time, Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, accused Holly of being “hurtful” towards Caroline, who was at home looking after Adam’s son – who he has from a previous relationship.
She wrote: “@hollyramsayy I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman, who I have loved and continue to love deeply.
“A woman who opened her home and heart to you. You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law to your hen night yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night.”
She continued: “You invited your mum (quite rightly) and even your mum’s assistant, your sisters, your friends, my niece, but not my sister, your future mother-in-law.”
DECEMBER 2025 – UNINVITED
Following the hen and stag do drama, it was revealed that Adam had uninvited his mum, Caroline, from the wedding.
The swimmer is said to have given his dad, Mark, an invitation, but told him he would need to remain at the back of the church throughout the ceremony – something Mark declined.
Just four days before the big day, more family were uninvited when Adam’s aunt Janet, 73, and uncle Eddie received a message from the couple to say they were no longer welcome.
A source said: “They got an automated message basically saying they were off the guest list and to respect Adam and Holly’s decision.
“It was so impersonal, and just four days before the big day.”
The brutal text came despite the fact the couple had already shelled out hundreds of pounds on accommodation, outfits and gifts.
DECEMBER 2025 – SPEECH SNUB
During the big day, Holly’s dad Gordon made a speech where he seemingly made a dig at Adam’s parents.
Gushing over his wife, Gordon said to Adam during his speech: “Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.”
In a dig at Adam’s absent parents, he added to Holly: “Shame you don’t have the same.”
DECEMBER 2025 – NAME CHANGE
Following their nuptials, Adam has added Ramsay as a double-barreled surname with his own.
The move seemingly shows his close bond with his wife’s family, another nail in the coffin to his own clan.
