As a lifestyle enthusiast, I always love seeing couples support each other’s dreams! It was so sweet to see Holly Ramsay cheering on her husband, Adam, from the stands as he competed in the 100m breaststroke at the Commonwealth Games. What a proud moment for them both!
Despite a ten-minute hold-up due to a problem with the lane ropes, Ramsay-Peaty – competing under his new name, which he displayed on his cap – still won his heat.
He qualified with the fastest time, easily reached the semifinals, and then advanced from there to make it to the final.
Holly, 26, proudly watched her husband, 31, from the audience, showing off her growing baby bump. The couple recently announced they are expecting a child.
The influencer recently revealed she’s expecting a daughter with Adam. Before the race, she posted a photo on Instagram of Adam wearing a new swim cap – branded ‘Ramsay-Peaty’ – and simply captioned it: ‘So Special.’
The start of Ramsay-Peaty’s race was delayed because a lane rope came loose while he was preparing on the starting block. A meet official had to get in the pool to fix it.
He quickly set the fastest time of the morning at 59.46 seconds. Only two other racers – Sam Williamson from Australia and Filip Nowacki of Jersey – also completed the course in under a minute.
Having won his first medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow when he was just 19, this three-time Olympic champion is now competing in his fourth Commonwealth Games.
Ramsay-Peaty sees these Games as a chance to complete a personal journey and get his career back on track.
I was so thrilled to see him win silver at the Paris Olympics in 2024! It meant so much, especially knowing how tough 2023 was for him. He made the brave decision to step back from competition to prioritize his mental health, and it’s incredible to see how that focus ultimately helped him achieve this amazing result. It really shows his strength and dedication.
I’ll never forget when he won the 100m back in 2014 – it kicked off what felt like eight incredible years where he just completely owned that race! It was so shocking, though, when he finished fourth at the Birmingham games four years ago. No one saw that coming, and it really ended his unbelievable run of victories.
We achieved what we set out to do,” Ramsay-Peaty said to TNT Sports. “We have a lot on in the next couple of weeks, so we’re trying to conserve our energy.
I hadn’t visited in years – I was just starting out and didn’t have many accomplishments yet. It feels like a really long time ago now.
Swimmer Ramsay Peaty revealed his new name by wearing it on his cap during the Commonwealth Games, hoping it will improve his performance.
For the first time in a major competition, three-time Olympic gold medalist James Guy is competing under his complete name. This comes after he married Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, last December.
Unfortunately, his parents didn’t come to the wedding, and it appears they won’t be at the Commonwealth Games either, as they are no longer on good terms with him. Adam is currently estranged from his parents.
Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! The Daily Mail just dropped a bomb – Adam’s sister, Bethany (she’s the only family member still talking to him and Holly!), is now having a massive fight with Holly. It’s totally shocking, honestly. I can’t even begin to imagine what happened!
They’ve stopped talking to each other, and now Adam is caught in the middle, attempting to repair their relationship – though he hasn’t been successful so far. You can find the complete story here.
The family disagreement started in September 2024 when Adam and Holly didn’t invite many of their relatives to their engagement celebration.
Despite driving her son to countless early morning practices for years, Caroline wasn’t included in Holly’s fancy hen party at Soho Farmhouse. The bride’s mother, Tana, and friends like Victoria were there, enjoying the lavish celebration.
Adam’s decision to legally change his name to Ramsay-Peaty and compete using that combined last name at the Glasgow Games has upset his family, particularly because he chose to put ‘Ramsay’ before ‘Peaty’ in the new surname.
Someone commented that while Adam may have wealth, our group possesses qualities he lacks – intelligence, loyalty, strong moral principles, and a close-knit family.
Having money doesn’t bring true comfort. It can’t offer support during tough times or simply make you feel better when you’re down.
They explained that pursuing fame means losing yourself – you end up acting a part rather than truly living. While fame doesn’t last, the bonds of family do.
The start of Adam’s race was delayed because a lane rope came loose. A judge had to get in the water – removing his shirt to do so – and fix the divider before they could begin.
The athlete quickly achieved the fastest time of the morning – 59.46 seconds. Only two other competitors, Sam Williamson from Australia and Filip Nowacki representing Jersey, also finished the race in less than a minute.
This Olympic gold medalist, who has won three times at the Olympics, is competing in his fourth Commonwealth Games. He first earned medals at the games back in 2014 when he was just 19 years old, in Glasgow.
Adam has described these Games as a ‘full circle moment’ as he looks to reignite his career.
Winning a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics was a turning point for him, coming after a challenging 2023 where he prioritized his mental well-being and had to pull out of several competitions.
He first won the 100m race in 2014, and for nearly eight years afterward, he consistently outperformed everyone else. However, that impressive run ended unexpectedly four years ago at the Birmingham competition, where he finished fourth – a surprising result for fans.
The athlete said he’d accomplished his goal after the match, speaking to TNT Sports. He explained that with a packed schedule over the next two weeks, they were pacing themselves and conserving energy before his semi-final on Friday evening.
I hadn’t been here in many years – not since I was much younger and before I’d achieved any significant recognition. It feels like a really long time has passed.
Twelve years ago, Adam earned his first of four Commonwealth championship titles in Glasgow. This weekend, he’s aiming to win another as an important step towards qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
