Family rift deepens as Adam Peaty’s mother claims she feels “broken”
Caroline Peaty, the mother of Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, has expressed her distress over being excluded from her son’s upcoming wedding to Holly Ramsay, leading her to share cryptic messages on Instagram alluding to personal turmoil, reports BritPanorama.
The posts reflect her emotional state following the discovery that she was not invited to the couple’s wedding scheduled for December 27 at Bath Abbey in Somerset. One message noted: “This year, I met the most broken version of myself but also the strongest. 2026, get ready, because I’m coming back stronger than ever.” Another hinted at family disputes, stating, “The truth will always make you light because the truth will never try to fight to prove what is right.”
This situation escalated after it was revealed that Caroline had also been excluded from Holly’s hen celebration at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire last month. The perceived snub has strained relations, with Caroline’s sister, Louise, publicly criticizing Holly on social media. Compounding the family drama, Adam’s brother James was recently arrested on suspicion of harassment while Adam celebrated his stag weekend in Budapest; he has since been released on bail.
In a further development, Caroline has formally requested that Netflix remove any footage of the Peaty family from Gordon Ramsay’s upcoming documentary series, “Being Gordon Ramsay,” claiming lack of consent to appear in the production which was filmed during Adam and Holly’s engagement celebration last year. A source close to Ramsay contested these claims, asserting that attendees were informed of filming and consent requirements.
As the wedding approaches, the divisions between the Peaty and Ramsay families appear unlikely to resolve. With only Adam’s sister Bethany invited, the family drama serves as a poignant reminder of how personal relationships can intertwine with celebrity pressures and media scrutiny.
Amid these unfolding events, one is left to ponder how love stories often become complicated narratives of family and expectation, reminding us of the raw reality that even in joy, tension can lie just beneath the surface.
