Gordon Ramsay is known for his fiery personality and high standards, whether in the kitchen or in his personal life. So when it comes to his daughter Holly’s fiancé, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, fans have been eager to know how the celebrity chef truly feels. Now, ahead of the couple’s highly anticipated wedding, Ramsay has finally made his stance clear.
Ramsay, who is famously protective of his five children, hasn’t always been the most welcoming when it comes to their romantic partners. In previous interviews, he’s joked about putting his daughters’ boyfriends through intense scrutiny, even warning that any suitor would have to “get past him first.” However, when asked about Peaty, the 16-time Michelin-starred chef had a noticeably different tone.
Sources close to the Ramsay family reveal that the chef has developed a strong respect for Peaty, admiring his discipline, work ethic, and dedication—qualities that Gordon himself values both professionally and personally. As an elite athlete and Olympic gold medalist, Peaty has spent years perfecting his craft, and it seems Ramsay sees a bit of himself in the swimmer’s relentless drive for success.
But it’s not just Peaty’s achievements that have won over the tough-talking chef. Reports suggest that Ramsay has also been impressed by how the swimmer treats Holly. The couple, who have been dating for a while, have kept much of their relationship private, but their bond is evident in the glimpses they do share. Holly, a model and fashion designer, has spoken openly about her struggles with mental health, and Peaty’s unwavering support has not gone unnoticed by her father.
As the wedding approaches, fans are eager to see if Ramsay will have any surprises in store for the big day—perhaps a signature menu curated by the chef himself. Given his reputation, one can only imagine the high standards for food and entertainment. However, one thing seems clear: despite his tough exterior, Gordon Ramsay is ultimately a devoted father who wants the best for his daughter. And if Adam Peaty has earned his approval, it’s safe to say he’s more than just a champion in the pool—he’s also won over one of the toughest father-in-laws in the world.
