After a bitter family feud that resulted in her being snubbed from her daughter-in-law’s hen party, Adam Peaty’s mother Caroline claims she has been barred from her son and Olympic swimmer’s wedding to Holly Ramsay.
Adam Peaty’s mum Caroline says she knows it is is ‘the end’ for her relationship with her son, but she does have an ally in her ranks.
Last week it emerged that GB star Adam has fallen out with his family so badly that he has uninvited them from his wedding. The Olympian and Strictly star will marry Holly, Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, this Christmas, but only his sister will be in attendance after his mum was barred from attending.
The huge divide became public knowledge last week when Caroline, 59 was uninvited from Holly’s plush hen do at Soho Farmhouse – though tensions have reportedly been simmering since the couple got engaged last September and didn’t invite Adam’s wider family to the party.
Now Caroline has show her support to Adam’s ex Eirianedd Munro, who shares son George, aged five, with Adam. The proud grandmother left a sweet comment on her latest Instagram post, which featured a collection of snaps of what looked to be a family member’s wedding day.

Our mother looks beautiful as do u all x, Euri captioned the sweet photo with “We love because HE first loved us.” The mother and the artist both responded with the emoji and a red heart emoji, “Doesn’t she, thank you.”
Her support will not have gone unnoticed by Caroline, who has been left heartbroken by the bitter rift that emerged last week between her family and her son’s future in-laws. A friend informed the Sun that Eiri would be “shocked” by everything that had been happening.
A source added: “Caroline and Eirianedd always stayed in touch. Caroline and her grandson have a special relationship, and Caroline and him have always been close. It wasn’t his current A-list lifestyle, but Adam and Eirianedd lived a more normal life. There weren’t the kind of problems between them all that there are with Caroline, Adam and Holly.
It’s nice to see Caroline having this kind of support because she is devastated. Holly and Eirianedd are the only two women who were so completely different. They are chalk and cheese. ” “
The tumultuous relationship between Adam and Eiri
When Adam swiped right on the Tinder, Eiri first met Adam while she was a student at Loughborough. She later admitted that she had no idea that he had become a successful swimmer. Just three months after they officially announced their pregnancy on Instagram with the NYE 2020 gold medalist, the university student became pregnant during their dazzling romance.
During their relationship, she frequently posted on Instagram, racking up more than 29,000 followers. But after their shock split in 2022, Eiri moved to Wales with son George, now five, where they live with family.
Their shock split occurred just months after Adam appeared on Strictly Come Dancing where he was paired with dancer Katya Jones. Just weeks into the controversial show, fans were left widely speculating as it appeared as if Adam ‘tried to kiss’ Katya after their performance.
Eiri made light of it by recording a TikTok video of her own experience watching your boyfriend almost kiss a crying baby on live television. ” “
However, ten months later, Adam apologized for “letting her down,” and the pair split. He remarked, “I could not ask for a greater mother for George, and I am so grateful to Eiri for her incredible support over the past three years. Eiri and George, I’m sorry for letting you down. ” “
Despite Adam’s shock statement when they split, friend’s mother is now enjoying her life as an independent artist and she made it clear there wasn’t any kind of relationship between them.
She openly expressed her congratulations to Adam and his upcoming wedding, telling the Daily Mail, “I’d like to take the opportunity to thank Holly for her kindness. She is merely a positive force in our lives. She is so gentle and kind, I couldn’t wish for a better stepmother for my son. We’re delighted to hear this news and wish them the best of luck. ” “
A pal told The Sun: “Eiri is still an artist and lives a very normal life. Love and happiness are present throughout. Family comes first in reality. She has George living with her and has done an incredible job at raising him. She is a wonderful mother.
She’s incredibly happy, despite how far it’s from Adam’s life with Holly Ramsay. Eiri would never speak badly of Adam – he has provided for their son and helped ensure he has a very comfortable life. She also adores Holly a lot. But everything that has been happening has shocked her. ” “
Instagram row
As the family row continues to rage, Caroline has liked a series of comments on Instagram, which indicate that the rift isn’t close to being healed. “Caroline uploaded a post which said: “I feel everything too deeply. And sometimes, I wish I didn’t. I care until it hurts, forgive before I should, and carry guilt for storms I didn’t cause. I overthink every silence, apologize for taking up space, and love people who never look back.
“I lose sleep replaying moments, wondering if I said too much, or if I wasn’t enough. And I have a strong fear that I’ll always love more than I’ll ever love. She liked a line under which it read, “I like respect and it’s a foreign word for some of those I happen to be in contact with so I like to do that.”
“I tend to ride on the crest of a wave and stay there, which means I try to avoid all of the depths of life. Don’t get me wrong, I’m nice but to a certain extent. She liked a second comment that read, “Stay strong and there for your son always.” Your love is unconditional, he knows that x. ” “
However, others expressed discord, with one poster saying, “You’re going the wrong way if what I’m reading online is correct.” Airing your dirty laundry in public (no matter how much you are hurting) will never end well for you. Respect him, let him make mistakes, and be there when things go wrong, because it will undoubtedly do. ” “
Caroline, 59, said in a conversation with the Daily Mail, “I know it’s the end.” However, I ask that regardless of what happens in the future, Adam know that I love you, that your father loves you, and that we can talk to each other whenever we want to.
“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I’m so in love with you. I sincerely hope your marriage is successful, that you and Holly will have a successful union, like your father and I did. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end. He’s in Gordon’s clutches, she continued. They seem to be attempting to pull him away from me, I can’t help but feel. Their family is very insular. ” “
The argument erupted after Caroline wasn’t invited to Holly’s hen-do at exclusive Soho Farmhouse, in Oxfordshire, which was attended by her mum Tana, Victoria Beckham, her sisters Megan and Tilly, as well as Adam’s sister Bethany. Instead, she stayed at home looking after Adam’s son George, five.
Louise Williams, Caroline’s sister, posted her grievance on Instagram after Holly shared photos with her on social media. She wrote, “@hollyramsayy I’m so happy you had a fantastic hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, you made a woman I have loved and still love dearly angry and hurtful as a person. You have caused my sister a terrible amount of pain that will need to eventually heal. ” “
After extended Peaty family members weren’t given an invitation to the engagement party, tensions reportedly started to wane. Caroline sent a text to Holly, adding: “I told her, ‘You know how important family is to you, as it is to me. My sisters have attended every event in Adam’s life, but they don’t come to the party. ” ” .
She added: “But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message. After Caroline’s absence from the wedding, the tensions then escalated, and Mark Peaty’s father, Mark, did not show up for the stag.
She and Adam had argued about how to dress for the big day because she wanted to wear a cream outfit. He had offered to pay for four outfits to wear across the day, but rejected that specific choice, saying that only Holly should wear white.
Adam Peaty was met by five police officers at the airport after leaving his stag do, reportedly out of concern for his safety, which increased the tension.
He allegedly had been receiving threats from his brother, 34-year-old builder James, who was detained on suspicion of harassment and questioned by police for two days before being released on conditional bail.
