Read our Privacy notice Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly Ramsay, and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty have announced they are expecting their first child together, a baby girl, due in December 2026. Holly, 26, shared the news on Instagram with a photograph of her husband, Adam, 31, with his hand on her waist, highlighting her baby bump. The post was captioned: "Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026. We can’t wait to meet our baby girl." The announcement quickly garnered congratulations from a host of famous figures, including Victoria Beckham, who posted "congratulations", and her son Romeo, who commented with three heart emojis. The couple exchanged vows in a star-studded ceremony at Bath Abbey in December last year. Their engagement was announced in September 2024, after Peaty proposed during a holiday in Crete. The gold medal-winning athlete reportedly met Holly through her sister Tilly when they both participated in the BBC dancing programme Strictly Come Dancing in 2021. Their wedding, however, followed reports of a family feud. According to the Daily Mail, the dispute escalated after Peaty’s mother, Caroline, was reportedly not invited to Holly’s hen do. The Sun also reported that Peaty’s parents had described Gordon Ramsay as "a big bully" who had "pushed them too far". Gordon Ramsay vehemently dismissed these claims as "absolute nonsense". He told the newspaper: "I’m certainly not a bully. I think when you send personal chauffeur cars up to Nottingham to invite this incredible family down to enjoy their party – by the way Holly and Adam were hosting that party, Caroline and Mark (Peaty’s parents), Tana (Ramsay’s wife) and I were guests – (it’s) appalling to even suggest there was any bullying. That’s absolute nonsense." He further added: "Secondly, opening up my door, welcoming them into the family, at the end of the day there was a lot of friction going on before all that and so there was some stuff that they needed to sort it out, and so it was sad to see that barrage of negativity that was self-propelled by them. I think once you start enjoying that kind of press attention and you revel in it, you’re sort of feeding the beast."
