As her Christmas wedding approaches, Holly Ramsay shared a moment of joy, marking the start of her "wedding month" with fiancé Adam Peaty.
The celebration, however, happens against the backdrop of an ongoing and dramatic family rift, which has seen Adam's mother, Caroline Peaty, reportedly banned from the ceremony.
The public fallout between the Olympic swimming champion and his family, especially his mother Caroline, has been escalating for months.
Adam and Holly, the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, are going to marry next month in a ceremony at Bath Abbey, but the guest list has become a major source of tension.
According to reports, the conflict starts well before the wedding plans were even in place.
Adam’s mother, Caroline, revealed that trouble began at the couple's engagement party when she sent Holly Ramsay a message.
Caroline was loud about her concern that Adam's wider family did not get an invite to the celebration, saying she felt family was important to both of them.
Caroline claims that Adam did not react well to the text message, stating that it fundamentally changed his relationship with her and with Holly.
The tension came to a head when Holly, who is close to her own family, hosted her lavish hen party but did not invite her future mother-in-law, Caroline.
The event was attended by close friends and celebrity family friends, including Victoria Beckham.
Following the snub, Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, publicly criticized Holly on social media, calling the decision "divisive and hurtful" to Caroline, who she said had "opened her home and heart" to Holly.
This public exchange confirmed the seriousness of the dispute.
In the wake of the drama, multiple reports have suggested that Adam has now banned both his parents, Caroline and Mark, from the wedding ceremony.
Only Adam’s sister, Bethany, is reportedly invited from his side of the immediate family.
Caroline spoke out, expressing her heartbreak and saying she felt the Ramsay family was "pulling him away" from her.
Adam Peaty himself addressed the situation, saying that the feud was "deeply hurtful" and "almost entirely one-sided," but insisted that there are "two sides to every story."
He also mentioned that he, Holly, and his sister cannot share further details because of an "ongoing police investigation into serious matters that arose long before recent events," suggesting the feud involves issues far deeper than just wedding invitations.
Despite the ongoing family turmoil, Holly and Adam appear united as they prepare for their nuptials at the end of December.
