The couple posted a series of snaps

Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly, has announced her engagement to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.

Holly Ramsay confirmed the happy news on social media as she posted a series of photos alongside the caption: “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 continued: “I promise to always be there with you and George, I’m so grateful [sic] to be in his life and I cannot wait for more. Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here’s to forever. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13.”

In the first picture, Ramsay could be seen showing off her engagement ring as she held her hand up close to her face, smiling a joyful smile.

Another snap showed eight-time world champion swimmer, Adam Peaty, holding her hand up as she posed with the new ring.

Peaty called his new fiancée a ‘gentle, caring and beautiful woman’ as he posted about the engagement on his own account.

He said: “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 give my soul peace. You have been with me when I’ve been at my lowest and helped me understand myself to navigate my own darkness. You have also celebrated the highs which have been so many, as for the first time in my life, I’m happy with the man I’ve become.

“You came to church with me and joined the incredible community we have there without a question. Your family have always treated me so generously with their time, emotion and trust. I can’t wait to be joined with them too. I’ve always believed that when two people are engaged and later married that we are no longer two people but we join as one and it’s the biggest privilege to share that with you.”

He praised Ramsay for the love she has shown his son, George, who he fathered with his previous partner, Eirianedd Munro.

He said: “Seeing you show the love you give to the most important person in my life, George, even from day one, there was never a question about you becoming my wife one day. I’m looking forward to our life together and the many challenges we’ll face. I promise to always love you with all my heart. Matthew 19:6.”

Family members and fans alike rushed to congratulate the happy couple with Holly’s sister Tilly saying: “Couldn’t be happier for you both!! I love you guys.”

The pair went public with their relationship last June. Ramsay was seen supporting Peaty at the Paris 2024 Olympics, sharing a warm embrace after he claimed silver.
