Gordon Ramsay has openly expressed his support for his new son-in-law, Adam Peaty, following a wedding speech that caught the attention of many. Some fans noticed what they interpreted as a ‘subtle jab’ during the groom’s heartfelt address.

On December 27, the Olympic champion, 31, exchanged vows with influencer Holly, 25, at the historic Bath Abbey. The celebration continued at the luxurious Kin House, set against the backdrop of a tense family rift that led to Adam’s mother, Caroline, being excluded from the event.

The wedding was graced by several celebrities, including the close-knit Beckham family, adding a touch of glamour to the occasion.

In a newly released Instagram video, Adam emotionally declared his unwavering commitment to Holly, stating he would “always choose” her. This poignant moment prompted Gordon Ramsay to publicly affirm his affection and support for the couple.

During the ceremony, Adam was visibly moved, shedding tears as Holly’s father walked her down the aisle to join him at the altar.

Gordon commented beneath the video: ‘Beautiful words @adamramsaypeaty @hollyramsaypeaty True Love ❤️ congratulations love you both so much Dad ❤️’

The Olympian, 31, tied the knot with influencer Holly, 25, at Bath Abbey on December 27, with a reception following at the swanky Kin House – amid a bitter fallout with his family, which saw his mother Caroline uninvited from proceedings

However, fans were quick to speculate about the wording of Adam’s speech, with one writing: ‘I’ll always choose you – hmmmm, can’t help but wonder how Victoria [Beckham] felt hearing that sentence, especially since it’s the same one Brooklyn keeps using in his posts as a subtle jab at his family.’ 

The comment referenced the widely reported Beckham family tensions, which emerged after Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were absent from Sir David’s 50th birthday celebrations last year. 

Brooklyn later insisted he would ‘always choose’ Nicola, fuelling further speculation that he had fallen out with his family. 

Since Adam and Holly’s nuptials, fans have drawn comparisons between the two families, with one writing under wedding photos: ‘I expect the Beckhams are sickened by the behaviour of their ‘besties’ given that Brooklyn is doing exactly this to them.’ 

The roots of this terrible family conflict go back to September 2024, when Adam and Holly snubbed wider members of the Peaty family by not inviting them to their engagement party.

Caroline, who spent years ferrying her son to early–morning training sessions, was also not invited to Holly’s glamorous hen do at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds last month, even though the bride’s mother, Tana Ramsay, and friends, including Victoria Beckham, were at the extravagant bash.

Despite everything, Caroline sent a card and gift to her newlywed son for his 31st birthday. 

Meanwhile, Adam’s 73–year–old great–aunt Janet, who was also left out of the wedding, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I just feel so sorry for Caroline.

However, fans were quick to speculate about the wording of Adam’s speech, with one writing: ‘I’ll always choose you – hmmmm, can’t help but wonder how Victoria [Beckham] felt hearing that sentence,’

‘I can’t believe he’s done this to his mother who’s done so much for him from an early age. To be treated like this is not kind.’

Despite being shunned, devastated Caroline had threatened to turn up at the wedding anyway – and, if barred from entering the abbey, stand outside and watch from the street.

She said that she changed her mind after her husband Mark convinced her it would be ‘too upsetting’ to go along.

Had she defied her son’s ban, she would have found herself face–to–face with five security guards, placed in front of the abbey’s ancient and elaborately carved wooden doors, which were framed by decorative columns of white roses and hydrangeas.

The Peaty family were all uninvited from the nuptials, aside from Adam’s sister Beth, who was a bridesmaid.

According to reports, Adam’s father, Mark, was the only person besides Beth asked to attend their big day, however, he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.

After being kicked off the invite list, Adam’s estranged brother James posted an old photograph with their mother Caroline Peaty standing outside of the wedding venue.

The poignant photo was deleted just 15 minutes after it was shared on his Instagram Story, perhaps signalling regret at how bitter the feud has become.

It won’t be lost on those who have followed the fallout the choice of location in the image, where Adam and Holly married just hours before the snap was posted.

The photo – taken on a different occasion – shows mother and son standing alone and dressed in what could be wedding finery in a symbolic move.

Notably, James – who was arrested for allegedly sending threatening messages to the athlete during his stag do – used a telling song alongside the image.

James’s song of choice was a remix of ‘Speak Softly, Love’, which appears several times in the iconic Mafia film, The Godfather.

The first of the trilogy was released in 1972 and tells the story of the son of a Mafia boss Michael Corleone [Al Pacino] meeting ‘outsider’ Kay Adams [Diane Keaton].

Seemingly, in this case, James is comparing The Corleones to the Ramsays, who are the more powerful family – while his brother Adam is ‘the outsider’.

The relationship deteriorates as Michael embraces his role as the Mafia boss, culminating in the last scene where the door shuts on Kay, symbolising her exclusion.

Last month it was revealed Holly and Adam had banned his mother from their wedding after an astonishing family row over Holly’s failure to invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party (pictured with his mother Caroline and Holly in 2024)

The now-deleted post of James and his mother was the only photo shared to his Instagram page, which has since been completely wiped of any images.

The Ramsay family splashed out thousands on the venue, where weddings normally cost around £2,500, block–booking it for the day to ensure the service took place in absolute secrecy.

Other than the glaring absence of Peaty’s family, the bride and groom were declared man and wife without any drama.

The newlyweds left the church at around 1.30pm to a joyful peal from the abbey bells and were driven away to their reception at Kin House, a Georgian manor house 17 miles away, near Chippenham.
