CHEF’S KISS Adam Peaty gets Gordon Ramsay’s blessing to marry daughter Holly

The Hell’s Kitchen star has heaped praise on the swimmer

The 24-year-old went public with his relationship with the England star on Instagram in June 2023.

They first met when Holly’s sister Tilly was competing with Adam on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.

The pair could tie the knot soon after Gordon’s dad revealed he sees Adam as the “perfect” son-in-law, according to OK! magazine.

Their source confirmed: “Gordon really approves of Adam, he definitely has Ramsay’s approval!

“Gordon is actually a former footballer, he’s a good friend of the Beckhams and he really appreciates all the sacrifices and training that a top athlete like Adam puts into his career.”

They added: “He really likes Adam, the way he treats Holly and would give his blessing if he were to propose to his daughter, which seems very likely. He really wants the Olympian to be part of the family.

“They’re a perfect match. Holly herself is delighted, she’s fallen for him and she knows her dad thinks Adam would be the perfect son-in-law.

“He’s great, he’s strict with his diet which Gordon admires, and he’s an all-round man – the perfect match for his daughter. Gordon and Adam also have a great relationship – they respect each other but they also have a lot of banter.”

Adam was dealt a blow at the Olympics when he tested positive for Covid.

The 29-year-old tested positive on Monday, a day after winning silver in the 100m breaststroke at Paris 2024.

Holly had been in Paris to reunite with her boyfriend as she shared a glimpse of her trip.

The 2023 season saw Adam take a break from swimming to prioritise his mental health after admitting he had suffered from depression and alcoholism.

In a July 2024 interview, Adam paid tribute to the Ramsay family for helping him get back into the pool, saying: “Gordon inspired me to succeed.

“Holly was obviously part of the core group every day. She’s on this journey with me.”

Adam announced in August 2022 that he and Eiri Munroe, 24 — who share a young son — had split.

Holly is signed to EST Models and has 329,000 followers on Instagram.

She has her own podcast, 21 & Over, where she speaks candidly about her life and struggles with depression.

The chef’s daughter previously worked part-time at clothing store Brandy Melville.
