Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty Announce They Are Expecting a Baby Girl

June 20, 2026 · BBC

The model and Olympic swimming champion shared the exciting news on Instagram, with a baby due in December 2026.

Model Holly Ramsay and Olympic gold-medal swimmer Adam Peaty have announced that they are expecting their first child together. Holly shared the news on Instagram on Saturday with a photo showing her baby bump, as the smiling couple gazed into each other's eyes. The caption read, "Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026. We can't wait to meet our baby girl."

Holly Ramsay is the daughter of famous TV chef Gordon Ramsay. Her father responded to the post on Instagram with great excitement, writing, "Congratulations to you both sending lots of love, Dad. I'm going to be a very over excited Grandad especially this Christmas." The baby will be the first grandchild for Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, making this a big milestone for the whole family.

Many well-known names also left congratulations in the comments. Among them were Victoria Beckham, her son Romeo Beckham, sports presenter Natalie Pinkham, and British athlete Ross Edgley. The outpouring of support showed just how many people were happy for the couple.

Holly and Adam got married in December 2024 at Bath Abbey in a star-studded ceremony. Guests at the wedding included members of the Beckham family and Dragons' Den star Sara Davies. Holly's sisters Tilly and Megan served as bridesmaids, along with Adam's sister Bethany. On the wedding day, Gordon Ramsay posted on Instagram that he "couldn't be a prouder dad," adding that he felt lucky to walk his daughter down the aisle.

Adam Peaty, who is 31 years old, proposed to Holly, who is 26, while the couple were on holiday in Crete in September 2024. The two reportedly first met through Holly's sister Tilly, who appeared with Adam on the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing in 2021. Their relationship grew from that connection into a romance that led to marriage and now a baby on the way.

Adam Peaty is one of Britain's greatest swimmers. He has won eight Olympic medals across four Olympic Games, including three gold medals. He is also the first British swimmer ever to defend and keep an Olympic title, which means he won the same event in two different Olympics in a row. Adam also has a five-year-old son from a previous relationship with artist Eirianedd Munro.

Holly Ramsay is not only known for being Gordon Ramsay's daughter. She is also an influencer and a mental health advocate, meaning she speaks openly about mental health to help others. In 2021, she launched a podcast called 21 & Over to continue that work. She is one of six children in the Ramsay family.

"Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026. We can't wait to meet our baby girl."
