Three-time Olympic Champion Adam Peaty Announces Engagement To Holly Ramsay
Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty has announced his engagement to partner Holly Ramsay.
The double world record-holder has often credited Ramsay – the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay – with having a stabilising effect and of giving him peace and calm following a turbulent period in his life that led him to consider quitting “a thousand times”.
Ramsay was poolside at La Defense Arena in Paris as Peaty won silver behind Nicolo Martinenghi en-route to claiming his third straight Olympic medal in the 100m breaststroke and his sixth overall.
Peaty said on social media:
“I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side. You fill my heart to the brim and give my soul peace.
“You have been with me when I’ve been at my lowest and helped me understand myself to navigate my own darkness. You have also celebrated the highs which have been so many, as for the first time in my life, I’m happy with the man I’ve become. You came to church with me and joined the incredible community we have there without a question.
“Your family have always treated me so generously with their time, emotion and trust. I can’t wait to be joined with them too.
“I’ve always believed that when two people are engaged and later married that we are no longer two people but we join as one and it’s the biggest privilege to share that with you.
“Seeing you show the love you give to the most important person in my life, George, even from day one, there was never a question about you becoming my wife one day. I’m looking forward to our life together and the many challenges we’ll face.
“I promise to always love you with all my heart.
“Matthew 19:6
“‘So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.'”
Ramsay said:
“I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remeber how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you.
“Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife 🤍
“I promise to always be there with you and George, I’m so grateful to be in his life and I cannot wait for more.
“Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here’s to forever. 💍🫶🏻✨🪩💗🧁
“‘And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.’ 1 Corinthians 13:13”
Among those offering congratulations were Peaty’s Great Britain teammates Matt Richards – who himself recently got married to fellow GB swimmer Emily Large – James Guy and Cameron van der Burgh, who won the Olympic 100m breaststroke title at London 2012 before claiming silver behind Peaty at Rio 2016.
