Peaty Competes as Ramsay‑Peaty at Glasgow Commonwealth Games

He has urged reporters to judge him by his results to shift attention away from an unresolved family rift.

Overview

  • Peaty debuted the double‑barrelled name Ramsay‑Peaty on his competition cap at training in Glasgow on Thursday, marking his first major championship under the new surname.
  • He has publicly asked media and fans to focus on his swimming and let his performances 'do the talking' as he races in the 100m and 50m breaststroke events.
  • The couple confirmed in June that Holly Ramsay and Adam are expecting a child due in December 2026, a development the pair have shared on social media.
  • The swimmer married Holly Ramsay at Bath Abbey on December 27, 2025, a ceremony that was followed by reports of a family fallout and a brief confrontation between paparazzi and security outside the venue.
  • Peaty is a decorated champion who withdrew in 2023 for mental‑health reasons, returned to win Olympic silver in 2024, and is using Glasgow as a step toward future goals while managing intense public scrutiny.
