Am I the only one to feel abit sorry for the mother of his son?

They were in a relationship until Adam went on Strictly and started a relationship with Gordon Ramsays daughter. He obvioulsy got caught up in the celebrity thing.
He know has got a tattoo of hollys name and talking of engagement. Whats the rush?

Also when the camera went to Adam and his family it was Holly who was there in the forefront with Adams mum and George etc.
I suppose Im being unreasonable, she is Adams girlfriend now.
How does the ex feel though seeing all this and knowing he had his head turned because he went on Strictly etc, and having to watch Holly with her son?

I wasn't aware he had chick nor child, but his ex's message is really nice. I wish them a healthy coparenting relationship.

Indeed however Kyle's are rather all over the place instead of pretty much on sleeve!! And Matt is a very nice person.

I do have a lot of time for Matt, seems a nice lad. His team mate painting his picture with huge ears made me laugh.

His ex partner and him appear to have a healthy relationship. Lucky George having parents who are behaving like adults and putting him first.
What a gorgeous little chap he is too.

@girlfriend44 congrats to you on your gold troll medal of the day.
Got a fab body have you? Inspired millions of young people and adults due to your brilliance and dedication to something specific?
Nah, thought not.
You’re just a troll.

Adam went on Strictly in autumn 2021. Holly was nothing to do with that series other than her younger sister took part.

He split with his son’s mother in 2022 and started seeing Holly almost a year later.

None of these timelines seem at all unreasonable and I can’t see what strictly has to do with it.

It's been a few years since they split, it's hardly new news.

He’s not just a swimmer. He’s a swimmer who has overcome alcoholism and mental illness, to get clean and get back to the Olympics, and be clearly delighted with a silver medal. He’s amazing.

Lentilweaver · 31/07/2024 12:24

I did think her message was rather sweet, while knowing nothing about any of them
I can imagine being the partner of an elite sportsperson is not easy.

DoraJae · 31/07/2024 12:23

Fantastic role models, all of them who are involved in the parenting if this child. Putting the child’s needs and interests first.

Many females would have stopped their child attending ( and especially with the exDP’s new partner).

It really isn't easy seeing your children as part of another family ‘without you’.

Well done all if them.

ExpatAl · 31/07/2024 12:12

I saw Mark Foster mentionin how he still had pain during Olympic coverage. These athletes have insane media coverage and need to have public crises, while on a training regime that would crush most of us. It’s hard. Remember the back lash against twisties. When will we get behind our teams and hold them up.

Julimia · 31/07/2024 10:05

You need to get your facts sorted.to begin with. He did not ' go on strictly and start a relationship' the lady was not on Strictly. And what's it got to do with you or any of us ?

Willyoujustbequiet · 31/07/2024 09:00

He has ADHD.

Some people don't appear to understand the impact this can have on behaviour, mental health, decision making etc...if anything his achievements are even more noteworthy.

Heavyboom · 31/07/2024 08:16

That message from his ex is pure class.

I suppose the thread has at least given an opportunity to highlight that

mydogisthebest · 31/07/2024 08:13

Pretty sure Strictly had nothing whatsoever to do with his relationship breaking down.

He has said in the past that his ex got pregnant only 2 month after they met and he chose to do the decent thing and stay with her. The relationship quite possibly would have petered out if she had not got pregnant or not chosen to have the baby.

They had already split before he started seeing Holly.

Dont know but what has he done to his body? He was the only swimmer who was covered in tattoos? The others bodys looked much better.

Hes done well, but at the end of the day he is just a swimmer!

You've clearly not seen Caleb Dressel nor Kyle Chalmers then!!!

SSpratt · 31/07/2024 02:49

I thought Adam did so well winning his silver medal. I certainly admire the way he has comeback.

As for his ex, I don’t feel sorry for her. I should image that she was glad to get rid. As much as I enjoyed his Olympic success, I would imagine that being in a relationship with someone dedicating their life to swimming, being ultra competitive, having mental health issues and then ‘finding God’ is shit. I bet she loves coparenting as friends in comparison.

Holly is definitely punching, he's way hotter than her.

He looks hot at the moment but he wasnt very good looking when he kept shaving his head. Him and Holly look lovely together.

CatchHimDerry · 31/07/2024 00:53

@girlfriend44 and how many Olympic medals for being “just a swimmer” do you have?

NeverMindTheBackProblems · 31/07/2024 00:50

Adam said in his post-race interview that he'd woken up with a sore throat. He's been diagnosed with Covid. Imagine being sick with Covid and still winning a silver medal, 0.02 seconds behind gold!

Lavanderrose · 31/07/2024 00:46

It must have been incredibly difficult for her to leave their shared home with her baby.

Sadly I always got the sense he wasn’t as in love with her as she was with him.

The breakup must have hit her hard because she took a very long break from social media.
