Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, tied the knot in a glamorous wedding at Bath Abbey on December 27, 2025. While the event was packed with A-listers like David and Victoria Beckham, the ceremony made headlines for another reason the absence of Adam Peaty’s parents.
His mother, Caroline Peaty, and father, Mark Peaty, were not among the guests, following an ongoing family dispute that came to a head after Caroline was not invited to Holly’s hen do. Despite the glitz and warmth of the occasion, the strain in Adam’s relationship with his parents cast a shadow over what should have been a joyful moment.
A Ceremony Full of Star Power
The Ramsay family was out in full support, with Gordon Ramsay walking his daughter down the aisle, calling it a moment that made him “a proud dad.” Holly’s sisters, Tilly and Megan, and Adam’s sister Bethany served as bridesmaids, dressed in satin red gowns, while Holly’s mother Tana Ramsay wore an elegant bottle green dress. Guests included MasterChef’s Marcus Wareing and Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies.
The bride arrived in classic elegance, wearing a white cloak over her dress to maintain the mystery. Her lace-trimmed gown with a long train was only revealed in hints, paired with a veil and a soft, dewy makeup look. Adam, who turned 31 just a day after the wedding, was seen in a tuxedo as he arrived at the abbey, surrounded by his groomsmen.
Peaty Family Pain Comes to Light
Ahead of the wedding, Caroline gave a heartfelt interview, saying, “It’s as if they have cut my heart out. My family is broken.” While she maintained that she still loves both Adam and Holly, her pain was clear. The rift appears to have started months earlier and deepened after being excluded from key moments like the engagement and wedding planning.
Despite the hurt, Caroline wished her son a beautiful wedding day. Her message was one of love and sadness — a mother who felt replaced but still held hope for reconciliation.
A Love Story Born on Reality TV
Peaty and Ramsay reportedly met through Holly’s sister, Tilly Ramsay, when both Adam and Tilly competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021. After a romantic courtship, the pair announced their engagement in September 2024 with heartfelt Instagram posts describing each other as best friends and soulmates.
