Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was one proud father-of-the-bride as his daughter Holly Ramsay married Olympic athlete Adam Peaty.
“I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son-in-law @adam_peaty!” Gordon, 59, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 27, ahead of the ceremony. “I love you so much @hollyramsayy and couldn’t be a prouder dad.”
Gordon and his wife, Tana Ramsay, are parents of six kids: Megan, 27, Holly, 25, Jack, 24, Matilda, 24, Oscar, 6, and Jesse, 2.
Holly and Peaty, 30, said “I do” at Bath Abbey in Bath, England, on Saturday, after she was escorted into the cathedral by father Gordon. The Hell’s Kitchen host sported a classic black tuxedo, while Holly stunned in a white ballgown with a capelet and a lengthy veil.
For glam, Holly wore her dark tresses in an updo face-framing tendrils.
Holly’s sisters, Megan and Matilda, served as bridesmaids for the ceremony and looked elegant in red, short-sleeved silk dresses and held a small bouquet of Calla lilies. Peaty’s sister, Bethany, appeared to complete the bridal party and wore a matching frock. Mother-of-the-bride Tana, 51, meanwhile, chose a deep emerald-colored sleeveless gown for the occasion.
Holly announced her engagement to Peaty in September 2024.
“I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now,” she captioned Instagram photos of her engagement ring. “I still [remember] 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.”
Holly continued, “I love you, and 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.”
The Olympic gold medalist, who has been romantically linked to Holly since 2021, welcomed son George with a past partner the year prior.
“I knew everything was going to change from there, but it’s been amazing,” Peaty told the BBC in June 2020 of the moment he learned his ex-girlfriend was pregnant. “Everyone’s thinking it was an accident but that’s not the case. It’s one of the most beautiful things you can do together and we’ve already sorted the nursery.”
Peaty further anticipated that fatherhood would impact this athletic training.
“There’ll be sleepless nights, but I’ve grown up so much since Rio 2016 when I was really just a boy, and this is another maturity phase for me,” he told the outlet. “I think [fatherhood] will make me stronger and it’ll be amazing to stand on those blocks at the Olympics knowing every time I race, I have [my son] behind me.”
The next year, Peaty told The Independent that becoming a father was “the most rewarding and brilliant thing” he’s accomplished.
“I make decisions now based on how he’s going to perceive it [and] what matters in the long-term for him,” he told the British newspaper in 2021. It’s less self and more him.”
