Holly Ramsay and her sister-in-law Bethany Peaty have reportedly fallen out following a private phone conversation, according to the Daily Mail. The publication described the call as 'brutal,' sparking a fresh rift between the two women months after they appeared to have put family tensions behind them. Neither Holly nor Bethany has publicly commented on the claims.
Background of Family Tensions
The reported fallout is the latest twist in long-running family tensions that surrounded Holly and Adam Peaty's wedding last December. In the months leading up to the ceremony, Bethany had publicly spoken about finding herself caught between her brother and the rest of the Peaty family amid their ongoing disagreement. Despite this, the relationship between Bethany and Holly appeared stronger than ever earlier this year.
When Bethany celebrated her birthday on April 22, both Holly and Adam shared heartfelt Instagram tributes. Adam referred to Bethany as his 'sister,' while Holly called her 'the best sister in law' alongside a series of photographs, including one taken on the morning of her wedding. Just weeks later, Bethany posted a picture of herself with Holly captioned 'Missed my girl,' and Holly responded by affectionately calling her 'Sister.'
Bethany's Role in the Wedding
The social media exchanges came shortly after Bethany faced criticism from some observers who accused her of choosing sides by attending Holly and Adam's wedding. Bethany served as one of Holly's bridesmaids, wearing a red Victoria Beckham dress alongside Holly's sisters Megan and Tilly Ramsay. However, Adam's parents, Caroline and Mark, and his brothers, James and Richard, were notably absent from the ceremony.
Speaking to the Evening Standard in March, Bethany admitted it had been 'a very difficult time' and revealed she had been 'caught right in the middle of the row.' She explained that she had repaired her relationship with her mother, Caroline, because of her own children, who have remained close to their grandmother. Bethany praised Caroline as 'a great grandma and a good mum,' while also saying it was 'very sad' that she had not attended Adam and Holly's wedding. At the same time, Bethany expressed affection for Holly's family, describing the Ramsays as 'a good family' who had welcomed her warmly.
Recent Happy News
The latest reports of tensions between Holly and Bethany come just weeks after Holly and Adam shared happy personal news. On June 20, the couple announced they are expecting their first child together, revealing they are preparing to welcome a baby girl in December 2026. Sharing the announcement on social media, Holly and Adam told followers that 'Baby Ramsay-Peaty' was due in December and said they could not wait to meet their daughter. The baby will be Holly's first child and Adam's second. The Olympic swimmer is already father to son George, whom he shares with former partner Eirianedd Munro.
Wedding Details
Holly and Adam married at Bath Abbey on December 27, 2025, in a star-studded ceremony attended by members of the Ramsay family and celebrity guests, including the Beckhams. Reports at the time suggested the majority of Adam's immediate family chose not to attend because of the ongoing family rift. Adam Peaty's reported family tensions are believed to have grown amid a rift surrounding his relationship with Holly Ramsay and the couple's wedding arrangements, with the Olympic champion later stepping back from certain members of his family.
