The wedding of Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty is scheduled for this Saturday at Bath Abbey, but the Olympic swimmer apologized to his soon-to-be wife shortly before the ceremony.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Peaty, 30, has admitted he’s struggled to “get that balance” in his family life, while apologising to partner Holly Ramsay, 25, for having to “share the same space”.
During an appearance on the Live, Laugh, Luke… with Luke Hamnett podcast, just a couple of months before his wedding to TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter this weekend, the athlete was asked about the importance of his role as a father to his five-year-old son George, whom he shares with ex Eiri Munro.
Luke said: “Talk to me about how important it is for you to be a dad,” to which Olympian Adam replied: “It’s the most important job in the world for me.”
He continued, mentioning that his desire to have more children with Holly in the future, and that it is his top priority to do so. “And, as a father, to hopefully have future children and stuff, [it does not matter about anything else.
We have a very fair balance, a very good balance, and for me, that is the most important one, even though I don’t get to spend as much time with him as I do because of my job.
Adam thanked Holly for how she had to “share” his attention with his son, before going on to say that the influencer and model is very understanding.
He admitted, “And then we have husband… they kind of share the same space, I’m sorry, but she gets it.”
Adam’s 2021 Strictly appearance with Katya Jones, which he and his son performed in ninth place, was also included in his list of personal accolades, but he claimed that he “lights up” the most when he spends quality time with his son.
He continued, “But then it’s athlete, then it’s business owner, then it’s ninth on Strictly!”
Although I’m a very emotional person and a thinker, I love that my energy, love, and light shines most when I’m with him, so I love that.
Adam continued to say that despite having his priorities in order, it was challenging to strike a balance between everything in his busy life.
The gold medal winning swimmer has been in the midst of family drama recently, as his mum Caroline and dad Mark were noticeably absent from his wedding to Holly, after some of their relatives were said to have been uninvited from the ceremony.
Bethany, Adam’s sister, was reportedly the only family member on his side who was present at the wedding. After Adam’s mother was dissapointed for her hen party, tensions are thought to have gotten worse.
Caroline claimed to The Mail just hours before the wedding: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.
“This is the first Christmas that I’ve not had my family together – my family is broken. Yes, I have my other grandchildren. Yes, I have my other children, but my family is split because of the goings on…because of the wedding.”
Adam made a statement about the reported feud in the lead-up to the wedding, writing on Instagram: “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.
Even in these trying times, I am continuing to learn about myself and how to become the man I want to be: a respectable partner, father, businessman, friend, and athlete.
We don’t ask for sympathy; Bethany, Holly, and I will get through this. Simply put, we need people to realize that every story has a different storyline. Thank you to those of you who have shown kindness and understanding. It is greatly appreciated.
