Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay are tying the knot in a festive ceremony after a whirlwind romance.
The 25-year-old daughter of Gordon Ramsay and Olympian, 30, met when Adam was competing on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 while Holly’s younger sister Matilda was also taking part in the show.
A relationship wasn’t on the cards straight away, as Adam was still with his then-girlfriend Eirianedd Munro, who he shares son George with, but romance later blossomed between the pair in 2023.
Speaking with The Sunday Times of Holly, Adam talked about their connection, saying: ‘She’s been pinnacle [sic] to this moment in my life where I can have peace and I can have that kind of love where it’s not defined by anything else other than the connection that we have. It’s great, and I look forward to the future.’
Adam’s love of the Ramsay family extends to Holly’s high-profile father, Gordon, who he credits for helping him escape ‘three years of hell’ struggling with alcoholism and his split from his ex-girlfriend.
After a romantic proposal in September 2024, the couple are now saying ‘I do’ at Bath Abbey surrounded by their closest family and friends.
However, it hasn’t been smoothing sailing ahead of the nuptials, with a rift within Adam’s family overshadowing their journey into marriage.
When are Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay getting married?
Holly and Adam will exchange vows at Bath’s historic Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul on December 27 before embarking on festive drinks, reported to be taking place at the Kin House country estate, in the evening.
The festive ceremony will be a star-studded affair with the Ramsay family in attendance, including Holly’s chef dad Gordon and her mother Tana, as well as her siblings, Matilda, 24, Megan, 27, Jack, 25, Oscar, six, and Jesse, who is one.
The Beckhams, who are close with Gordon and Tana, are also reported to be in attendance on the special day.
How did Adam Peaty’s family feud start?
A feud erupted after Holly hosted her hen do at Soho Farmhouse earlier this year – which was attended by Victoria Beckham, her own mum Tana, and Adam’s sister. However notably absent was his mum Caroline, with other family members later taking aim at the engaged couple.
The sportsman’s aunt Louise weighed in, saying her sister is ‘not ok’ and has been ‘broken’ by her son and his fiancée.
She claimed that Adam is ‘ashamed’ of his brothers, with the family also going so far as to call him a ‘narcissist’ who has been ‘changed’ by money and has ‘forgotten where he came from’.
‘We were sent a save the date and it’s all these country houses,’ a family member told The Sun.
‘I’m on Universal Credit — I can’t afford that.
‘Adam has been changed by money, fame and fortune. He seems to have forgotten where he came from.’
Speaking about what’s unfolded with Adam and his mum, they added: ‘We think he has treated Caroline appallingly. You can hear it in her voice. She’s heartbroken.’
Another source told the publication that while his family were originally supportive of his engagement to Holly, they feel ‘they have been pushed further and further from Adam over the past year’.
The issue apparently stems from Holly not inviting Adam’s mum Caroline, who supported him in securing three Olympic gold medals, to her hen do party, and now Caroline was reportedly ‘banned’ from the wedding following social media activities.
Adam’s brother James was later reportedly arrested upon Adam’s return from his Budapest stag do.
A police statement confirmed a 34-year-old man was ‘arrested on suspicion of harassment. The man was released on conditional bail while our enquiries continue.’
Adam later shared a statement responding to tension within his family, which read: ‘Over the past few days, a lot has been reported and comments posted about the private life of Holly and myself.
‘My sister Bethany, has also been targeted. This has been almost entirely one-sided and, in many cases, excessive and intrusive. What makes it worse is that it has been encouraged by members of my family.’
The swimmer added that whilst he cannot provide full details due to an active police inquiry into ‘serious matters that arose long before recent events’, he remains committed to self-improvement.
‘For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place.’

It was also reported by The Sun that Holly and Adam’s engagement party last December was filmed by Netflix for her chef dad, Gordon’s docuseries, and apparently the cameras captured the moment relations started to go downhill.
‘Adam’s family were at the engagement party, when relations were much better,’ the source began.
‘Things went downhill from there. His mum was unhappy some of the family weren’t there and confronted Gordon at the event.
