The wedding of Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty to Holly Ramsay last weekend was a star-studded affair, but it has been overshadowed by a series of personal controversies that continue to unfold.
Ex-Partner's 'Hypocrisy' Claim Over Surname Switch
Fresh from the celebrations, Adam Peaty is facing criticism from Eiri Munroe, the mother of his five-year-old son, George. The source of the tension is the couple's decision to adopt a double-barrelled surname, becoming Peaty-Ramsay following their marriage.
A friend of Eiri told The Sun that she finds the move "a bit rich", suggesting a double standard. The friend claimed that while Adam was quick to change his own name, he did not permit Eiri to do the same for their son when he was born. "It appears Adam is being a bit hypocritical," the source said.
Despite this pointed criticism, the friend was keen to add that Eiri remains proud to have seen her son stand by his father on the big day. They also praised Holly Ramsay's role, stating: "Holly has been such a positive influence on Adam. They both dote on George. Eiri knows she is lucky that George has a stepmum like Holly."
Family Tensions and a Missing Strictly Star
The name change is also believed to have caused upset within Adam's own family. His mother, Caroline Peaty, was notably absent from the wedding after a major fallout, with reports suggesting the surname decision may have compounded the issue. A source close to the situation insisted the change was always planned and not intended to cause hurt.
Meanwhile, fans of Strictly Come Dancing were quick to spot another notable absence from the guest list. Adam's professional dance partner from the 2021 series, Katya Jones, was not in attendance, despite the pair's reportedly good friendship after competing together for seven weeks.
While the wedding was filled with celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham, Katya appeared to spend the weekend at home. On Monday, 30th December 2024, she posted on social media about taking a break from the apps, advocating for peace and reading. "I've been off social media for a week... what a gift it is to be present in the real," she wrote, urging followers to "get rid of the toxic energy and stop chasing."
A Glitzy Day Marred by Ongoing Feuds
The ceremony itself was already steeped in drama before these latest revelations. Adam's mother and brother were among family members banned from attending, and Brooklyn Beckham reportedly snubbed his invitation amid an ongoing feud with the Ramsay family.
As Adam and Holly jet off on their honeymoon under their new shared name, the fallout from their wedding day continues to ripple, blending family disputes, past relationships, and the intense scrutiny of life in the celebrity spotlight.
