Adam Peaty reportedly excluded a close friend from his wedding ceremony. Adam and Holly Peaty exchanged vows in a grand event at Bath Abbey over the weekend, but the guest list drew attention.
While notable figures like Victoria Beckham were present, Adam notably did not invite his parents and other family members. Only his sister Bethany attended to support him.
Allegations suggest that another former friend of the Olympian, Michael Gunning, was also left off the invite list. Sources claim that Michael was removed from the guest list after forming a close bond with Adam’s mother, Caroline.
According to an insider, Michael expressed feeling deeply hurt by the couple, particularly Adam, given his previous public support for Adam during a challenging period in 2023. The source indicated surprise at the change in Adam’s behavior towards Michael, describing Michael as a kind and sincere individual.
It was evident to observers that Adam’s relationship with Michael had shifted, despite their past camaraderie in the Team GB squad. Reports indicate that cracks in their friendship began to show following Adam and Holly’s engagement party in December 2024, coinciding with ongoing tensions between Adam’s mother and himself.
Caroline, on the eve of her son’s wedding, shared her feelings of heartbreak, stating that she felt deeply wounded. She expressed her reluctance to endure such pain again.
Furthermore, Adam’s aunt, Louise, reportedly messaged him before the wedding, with the text remaining unread. The message, as reported by MailOnline, conveyed disappointment and emotional distress over the strained family dynamics.
Notable absences from Adam’s wedding included his Strictly partner Katya Jones, who hinted at spending a relaxed weekend at home instead of attending the high-profile event.
Despite the ongoing family drama, Adam and Holly embarked on their honeymoon with a combined surname, adopting the name Peaty-Ramsay as a symbol of their union.
