After a year of dating, Adam Peaty and his fiancée, Holly Ramsay, are officially engaged! The couple shared the thrilling news on Thursday, revealing that Adam proposed during a sun-soaked luxury vacation.
Along with the announcement, they posted a series of stunning photos, featuring Holly flaunting her sparkling engagement ring. Adam accompanied the images with a heartfelt message to his future wife, expressing his deep affection and appreciation. He wrote: “I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring, and beautiful woman by my side.
You fill my heart to the brim and bring peace to my soul. You’ve stood by me during my lowest moments and helped me steer my own darkness. You’ve celebrated my highs and, for the first time, I’m content with who I’ve become. You’ve joined me in my church community without hesitation.”
Adam also praised Holly’s family, including her father, renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, for their generosity and support. He concluded his post with a touching Bible verse from Matthew 19:6: “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Holly expressed her joy, saying: “I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you. Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen, and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife.” She also promised to always be there for Adam and her son, George.
