Olympic champion Adam Peaty is looking to take the plunge into marriage with girlfriend Holly Ramsay, daughter of famed chef Gordon Ramsay, after gaining the culinary icon’s hearty approval. The lovebirds went Instagram official last year following their initial encounter during the time Holly’s sister Tilly took to the dance floor with Adam on 2021’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Speculation is rife that wedding bells could soon be sounding for the duo, with Gordon Ramsay reportedly giving a big thumbs up to the idea of adding the Team GB athlete to the family fold. According to an insider speaking to OK! Magazine: “Gordon really approves of Adam, he’s definitely got the Ramsay seal of approval!”
The source added: “Gordon is actually a former footballer himself, he’s good friends with the Beckhams, and he really appreciates all the sacrifices and training that a top sportsman like Adam puts into his career.”
Furthermore, they revealed: “He really likes Adam, how he treats Holly and is ready to give his blessing if he proposes to his daughter, which is seeming very likely. He would love the Olympian to be part of the family.”
Praising the couple’s compatibility, they added: “These two are a perfect match. Holly herself is really happy, she’s fallen hard and she knows her dad thinks Adam will make the perfect son-in-law.”
Adam Peaty has previously expressed admiration for his potential future father-in-law, indicating a mutual respect between them. In an insightful discussion with The Sunday Times, April 2024, he lauded Ramsays impact: “He [Ramsay] is an incredible energy to be around and an incredible person to have that guidance from. Gordon is a high performer.
“He worked his way up to the upper echelons of his industry and works in a place where there’s no bulls**t. I take a lot from that and from the professionalism he has every single day with a relentless pursuit.”
