After being “heartbroken” this weekend by her absence from her son’s wedding, Adam Peaty’s mother has been spotted leaving her home to go see her mother.
Adam Peaty’s mother has been seen in public for the first time since her son married Holly Ramsay in a wedding she did not attend, amid a public family feud that has overshadowed the Olympic swimmer’s big day.
As she left her family home in Staffordshire on Sunday, just one day after the wedding, Caroline Peaty appeared visibly depressed. She had been uninvited from the ceremony at Bath Abbey.
She was photographed heading out to visit her own mother, Mavis, while wrapped in a cream coat and scarf, following what sources have described as an emotionally draining weekend, in pictures posted online.
Caroline reportedly had thought about attending the wedding despite being exempt, after friends told her to “watch from the street.”
However, she later changed her mind, claiming that doing so would be “too sad” and that she didn’t want to “spoil his big day” with it. That day, her husband Mark Peaty was also seen leaving.
He was spotted posing with the family dog close to the house. Hours later, it became clear that Mark had been given a contentious invitation to the wedding and was bundled up in a bright orange coat and winter hat as he walked outside.
According to reports from The Sun, Mark was given permission to attend the ceremony but would have to occupy a spot behind other guests’ plus ones.
More than 200 people gathered inside Bath Abbey to watch Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly, 25, get married to Adam, a 31-year-old man.
The wedding itself appeared joyful, but an uprising over the family feud ultimately prevented the majority of the Peaty family from attending the grand event.
Bethany, Adam’s sister, was one of Holly’s bridesmaids at the church despite the conflict. The bride’s bridal party included Tana Ramsay, 51, sisters Tilly, 24, and Megan, 27, as well as her mother.
A family source told The Sun on Sunday : “Frankly, it’s disgusting that it went ahead without Adam reaching out to his mum and dad beforehand.”
The family spent the evening together because Caroline and Mark had a difficult day, the insider continued. Caroline became upset as soon as she saw the wedding photos.
It’s awful for him to turn around and tell Beth that his father could come in and sit at the back of the church. Adam has probably never spoken to or seen plus-ones, but Mark was told he could sit behind them.
Caroline admitted the pain she is feeling has been overwhelming in a chat with the Daily Mail, saying: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.”
She went on to explain how the fallout has affected the wider family during the festive period, adding: “This is the first Christmas that I’ve not had my family together – my family is broken.
“Yes, I do have a few more grandchildren. Yes, I have my other children, but my family has been divided due to the events surrounding the wedding.
