The glittering world of ballroom dancing and Olympic glory collided with a wave of family drama, leaving a noticeable chill between Adam Peaty and his formerStrictly Come Dancingpartner, Katya Jones. Following Peaty’s recent wedding to Holly Ramsay, Jones has reportedly removed her connection to the swimmer on Instagram, a quiet act that has ignited speculation of a deepening rift.
Their partnership onStrictly, though cut short at ninth place, blossomed into a genuine friendship. The pair navigated challenging routines and shared vulnerable moments, forging a bond that seemed to extend far beyond the dance floor. However, Jones’ absence from the wedding ceremony, attended by fellowStrictlyalumni, raised eyebrows and fueled whispers of discord.
The wedding itself unfolded against a backdrop of existing family tensions. The ceremony at Bath Abbey was meant to be a celebration of love, but it was overshadowed by a growing rift within the Peaty family, a conflict that had been simmering for some time.
Adding to the complexity, Adam’s mother, Caroline Peaty, was reportedly uninvited from the wedding. She publicly stated her decision not to attempt to attend, acknowledging that her presence would only exacerbate the already strained situation and potentially disrupt her son’s special day.
The ceremony saw Adam walk with his young son, George, while Holly was escorted down the aisle by her renowned chef father, Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay shared a heartfelt message online, expressing his joy at welcoming Adam into the family and celebrating his daughter’s happiness.
The origins of the family conflict appear to stem from events surrounding Holly’s hen do. The exclusive gathering, attended by high-profile figures, included Adam’s sister Bethany, who served as a bridesmaid, but notably excluded other immediate family members.
Public accusations soon followed, with Adam’s aunt voicing her concerns online, claiming he had become “broken” and “changed by money,” and expressing a sense of shame regarding his brothers. The family’s frustrations escalated, with accusations of narcissism and a perceived abandonment of his roots.
The turmoil extended beyond words, with reports of Adam’s brother being arrested following the swimmer’s stag do in Budapest. Now, with Katya Jones’ apparent distancing, it seems the fallout from the wedding has touched even those outside the immediate family circle, leaving questions about the future of these relationships.
