Adam Peaty

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

There's a lot of projection here isnt there? Assuming that she must want to be with him.

For all you know, whatever she may say publicly or politely, she could be delighted to be shot of the self-obsessed man child whose existance takes priority over everyone else in the family that is typical of athletes and D-list "celebs".

I'd rather be able to do what I want than have to be dragged every few months to sit in the hot,sweaty chlorinated stand of a pool to watch a man at work.

I'm sure it's already been pointed out but it was a different daughter of Gordon Ramsay on Strictly - that was Tilly, he's going out with Holly

It was lovely his son was there and his ex clearly is fine with it all

Why should he not be able to be in a new relationship just because he had a failed one that resulted in a child being born.

what do you expect him to do, never move on or be happy or experience love again just because he’s had a child?

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?

Dunno 🤷‍♂️

If you know her then ask her. If you don't, then this is all a bit weird.

"Just a swimmer?". He is the first British swimmer ever to retain an Olympic title.

This.
Not a Strictly curse although all break-ups get tied to it.
He will have known Tilly from his series and cast following each other from that.
Gordon was in the audience a few times. Holly may have been.
However, the cracks appeared following the AT with Katya and near-kiss acting.
Eiri felt disrespected and was honest about that.
I admire her because she got some flak for that iirc when she was at home viewing, looking after their son at the time.
When they split the following year (August 2022) he said he'd let her down. Her statement on social media was gracious and elegant at that time too.
Rumours of Adam and Holly came about when they started liking each other's posts in November 2022. They confirmed their relationship May/June the following year.
Adam didn't do the tour in 2022. Tilly did.
You meet people through work, through friends of friends, through social media.
There isn't always an overlap and even if there's an initial attraction, it's not always acted upon.
Would I feel resentful? I'd feel sad but we all know on here, the pressure having a baby has on a couple, let alone a partner away from home/travelling/training a lot. I hope she has already found or finds the happiness she deserves.

He has had some mental health difficulties in the past, but clearly has done very well indeed to overcome them and win the silver!

Tbh I didn't know anything about Adam Peaty apart from the fact he is a swimmer. Then this morning I heard an interview with his Mum on the Today programme in which his son George was mentioned. So I googled who his wife/ partner was and found who his current girlfriend is and how they met. I have never seen, and am not interested in seeing, Strictly come dancing , but everything I've heard about it , including how many relationships have been affected by it, has been bad.

My comment about people ditching existing relationships for celebrity ones was more a general observation. And it is how I have always felt, and still do, as a general rule. But if the mother of Adam Peaty's son is a big enough person to be happy for him then I am pleased.

I thought this may have been a post about how different he is compared to the last time we saw him (I couldn’t see this was an AIBU post when I clicked on it).

He seems so much more at peace with everything, and generally much calmer. It was so lovely to see. I thought he seemed somewhat arrogant previously.

I thought he was very dignified too, and quick to congratulate the winner. Amazing achievement to nearly win gold in his third Olympics.

But people meet and fall for others when already in a relationship all the time. That it was via Strictly isn't important.

And Lo! A wild goady fucker appeared....

So sad that posters think it's more important to discuss his relationships and tattoos than his incredible sporting achievements and his battle with mental health to get back in the pool.

He talks about barely being able to get out of bed a few years ago. It's unbelievably impressive that he is able to compete at the level he did yesterday.

Simone Biles is getting lots of kudos for overcoming similar mental health battles, and rightly so. But why does that not apply to Adam Peaty? (Is there a white working class male with tattoos bias going on?)

So? Is there a particularly way that swimmers should look?

Why should you think less of him though? He owes the public nothing, he is just living his life. Others should do the same, and stop judging things they have no insight of.

🙄his body.

I think you are really over thinking this.

Two students met at university and started a relationship, had a child and split up. Now one of them has a new girlfriend.

It happens all of the time.

Exactly.

Sorry you WOULDNT want to upset Gordon

I hope for Adams sake he takes good care of his new girlfriend, you would want to upset Gordon Ramsey

What a weird, gross comment 🤢🤢🤢

Normally I would agree with you, but he wasn’t with his previous girlfriend for that long. It’s not like she supported him for years to get to the Olympics and then he suddenly ditched her for someone famous.

It's irrelevant what we think - his role is not to look good for us.

His ex sounds nice and their boy is lovely.

I wondered why Peaty was being interviewed by Gordon Ramsay the other day - part of that BBC family thing. Was thinking, didn't know Ramsay was a swimmer!

Ha ha, all that misery only to be shown in the first couple of posts that his ex is delighted for his achievements and even more so, for their son to see it.
