Adam Peaty puts one condition before forgiving his estranged parents

Adam Peaty has given a firm response to his estranged family, saying he will ‘forgive but not forget.’

It is pertinent to mention that 31-year-old swimmer didn’t invite his parents on his wedding to his now-wife, Holly Ramsay.

Meanwhile, Adam’s parents, Caroline and Mark, reportedly attempt to reconcile with their son earlier this week after watching him win two bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Speaking to The Guardian, Adam, who embraced Christianity in 2023, stated that his religion means there is prospect of forgiveness, but insisted he will only reconcile with his family if he ‘feels they have improved as people’.

When asked if he would heal the rift, he said: ‘For me, as a Christian, there has to be forgiveness. It doesn’t mean you have to forget, but forgiveness takes time…

‘I’m not saying that it won’t get better, but it has to come from a place where I feel like they’ve improved as people, in a sense, and opened that communication up… I haven’t told one thing to the media. I haven’t done one story.’

On speculation around the row, he said: ‘I wouldn’t say on me because I’ve got a thick skin. But I care about my wife, I care about my son [George, five, from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Eirianedd Munro].’

Earlier this week, Adam’s family pleaded with the swimmer to heal the rift with his estranged mother Caroline saying: ‘Please don’t hurt her any more.’
