Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has made a fresh, pointed statement about his daughter's wedding to Olympic champion Adam Peaty, continuing to sidestep the reported rift with the swimmer's family.
A 'Perfect' Day Overshadowed by Tension
Gordon Ramsay, 59, took to social media to comment on official wedding photographs published by British Vogue, describing the event as a "perfect wedding" with "wonderful guests". The post, which tagged his daughter Holly, 26, and new son-in-law Adam Peaty, 31, made no mention of the groom's absent parents.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey on Saturday, 27 December, surrounded by A-list friends including Victoria and David Beckham and their children, chef Marcus Wareing, and Sara Davies from Dragons' Den. However, the guest list highlighted a notable absence: only Adam's sister, Bethany, represented his side of the family, serving as one of Holly's three bridesmaids alongside her sisters Tilly and Megan.
The Roots of the Reported Family Feud
The tension reportedly began when Adam's mother, Caroline, was not invited to Holly's hen party at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse. The perceived snub prompted Adam's aunt, Louise Williams, to publicly criticise Holly on Instagram, accusing her of being "divisive and hurtful".
This backdrop made Ramsay's father-of-the-bride speech, where he is said to have made a dig at the absent parents, all the more loaded. His latest online remarks, following that speech, reinforce his silence on the matter. On the wedding morning, Ramsay had posted that he "couldn't be a prouder dad" and felt "truly so lucky" to gain an "incredible son-in-law".
Luxury Honeymoon and Moving Forward
In her interview with Vogue, Holly Ramsay revealed the couple's post-wedding plans, confirming they are jetting off on a luxury honeymoon to Mauritius, gifted by her parents, Gordon and Tana Ramsay. She joked that she had to tell the champion swimmer their trip wouldn't be centred around a 25-metre pool.
The wedding of the model and the three-time Olympic gold medallist has become one of the year's most talked-about celebrity events, but the ongoing narrative continues to be dominated by the unresolved family discord rather than the matrimonial celebration itself.
