Holly Ramsay and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty are preparing to become parents. The couple announced on Saturday, June 20, that they are expecting their first child together, sharing the exciting news on Instagram alongside a series of photos. Holly revealed the pair are expecting a baby girl, writing, “Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026. We can’t wait to meet our baby girl.” The pregnancy news comes less than a year after the couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at England’s historic Bath Abbey.
While this will be Holly’s first child, Peaty has spoken candidly in the past about how becoming a father changed his life. Back in 2020, the Olympic gold medalist described parenthood as one of the most meaningful experiences he had ever experienced.
“I knew everything was going to change from there, but it’s been amazing,” Peaty told the BBC. “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.”
The following year, he doubled down on those sentiments while reflecting on how fatherhood shifted his priorities. “The most rewarding and brilliant thing” he’s experienced, Peaty told The Independent in 2021. “I make decisions now based on how he’s going to perceive it [and] what matters in the long-term for him. It’s less self and more him.”
Holly Ramsay Called Adam Peaty Her ‘Best Friend’ After Engagement
The pregnancy announcement comes nearly six months after Holly and Peaty exchanged vows during a lavish ceremony at England’s historic Bath Abbey on December 27, 2025.
For the special occasion, Holly wore a custom-designed Elie Saab wedding gown featuring long sleeves, a dramatic full skirt, and an elegant circular train. Ahead of the wedding, she told British Vogue that she envisioned a timeless, feminine look inspired by iconic royal and Hollywood brides, citing both Grace Kelly and Princess Kate as influences in her search for the perfect dress.
“I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son-in-law @adamramsaypeaty!” the celebrity chef wrote on Instagram at the time. “I love you so much @hollyramsaypeaty and couldn’t be a prouder dad.”
Holly Ramsay Gushed Over Adam Peaty Before Their Wedding
Before saying “I do,” Holly publicly gushed over Peaty following their September 2024 engagement. “I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever.”
She added, “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.”
Gordon Ramsay Once Joked About Being Mistaken For A Grandfather
The baby news will mark Gordon Ramsay‘s first grandchild, adding a new role to the celebrity chef’s already busy family life.
Gordon and his wife, Tana Ramsay, share six children together: Megan, twins Holly and Jack, Tilly, Oscar, and Jesse. While he may soon officially become a grandfather, Gordon previously joked that he wasn’t exactly thrilled when strangers assumed he already held the title.
In a 2020 interview with Men’s Health UK, the chef recalled being mistaken for Oscar’s grandfather while out with his family.
“The worst thing is when I’m walking with Tana and Jack, and everyone is looking at Jack as if Oscar is his son,” Gordon said. “‘You must be so proud to be a grandad.’ ‘F-ck off, he’s ours.’ If I get called ‘grandad’ one more f-cking time, I’m going to hit the roof.”
Gordon Ramsay Says Fatherhood Brought Out His Softer Side
Despite his famously fiery television persona, Gordon has often insisted he’s much softer at home than viewers might expect.
“The kids have brought the most emotion out of me,” he told PEOPLE in 2023. “It’s funny, isn’t it? Because everyone thinks, ‘God, you must be an absolute a-s to be at home with.’ [But] Tana’s super fierce, an ex-Montessori school teacher. So I’m the softie.”
Now, with Holly expecting her first child, Gordon is preparing to embrace grandfatherhood for real.
