Adam Peaty’s mum Caroline has shared her heartbreaking hope for 2026 as she took to Instagram to share some pointed reflective messages on Wednesday.
Caroline was banned from her son and Holly Ramsay’s lavish nuptials at the weekend amid a bitter feud that has been ongoing for months.
And taking to her social media she shared a post from another account which read: ‘I deserve a year that doesn’t hurt’.
The full post read: ‘I won’t end this year pretending everything was fine. I lost a piece of myself this year that I will never get back and I’m not forcing a smile like it didn’t change me.
‘So no… I won’t be saying “2026 is going to be my year.” I’ll be praying that I recover next year, that my heart never has to break like this again, that I never have to survive something like this again.
‘I’ll be praying for peace… real peace., the kind that let’s me breathe without fighting for it. I deserve a year that doesn’t hurt.’

Her second repost read: ‘Just a little reminder that you don’t have to make resolutions or huge decisions or big proclamations.
‘You can just set some sweet intentions and take each day as it comes.’
A broken–hearted mother Caroline was said to be ‘beside herself’ with grief at missing what should have been one of the happiest days of her life seeing her son get married on Saturday.
The Peaty family were all uninvited from the nuptials, aside from Adam’s sister Beth who was a bridesmaid alongside Holly’s sisters Megan and Tilly.
According to new reports on Sunday, Adam’s father Mark was the only person beside Beth asked to attend their big day, however he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.
Meanwhile father of the bride Gordon Ramsay reportedly made a brutal dig at his new son-in-law’s parents in his speech.
Gordon, 59, waded into the Peaty family drama by saying his wife Tana ‘will be a good mum to them both’, according to a new report in The Sun which also claims Adam has now blocked his family from messaging him.
They report that in his father of the bride speech Gordon commented on how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a ‘lucky man’, adding: ‘Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.’

The publication goes on to claim that Gordon couldn’t resist a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents he told his daughter Holly: ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’
Adam is thought to have not mentioned his family or parents in his speech, instead praising his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his ‘everything’, and for ‘grounding and inspiring’ him.
In an emotional moment he also reportedly said that he saw Mel ‘like a mum’ due to her support.
A source told the publication: ‘This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone and they have succeeded.
‘You’d think that as parents, Gordon and Tana would have a bit more compassion towards Caroline, Mark and the family.’
Representatives for Adam and Gordon have been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.
Meanwhile Bethany, who was the only member of the Peaty family to attend the wedding, has been left to face the music while Adam and Holly jet off on honeymoon.
Insiders have claimed that Bethany’s decision to not only attend the wedding but also to accept such a prominent role in the bridal party has left her mother feeling ‘betrayed.’
‘Beth has betrayed her mum to see what she can get out of being the only family member who gets on with Adam and Holly,’ the source alleges, claiming that Bethany has changed since striking up a close friendship with Holly.
‘This isn’t the Bethany we all know, she’s changed her appearance and personality to fit in with the Ramsays’ celebrity lifestyle.’
Weeks before her bridesmaid duties, Bethany attended the bride-to-be’s hen party, which became a central point of the family rift.
Holly’s failure to invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party sparked a huge response from the Peaty family, with Adam’s aunt Louise blasting her nephew and Holly in a series of Instagram comments and later claiming her sister Caroline wasn’t invited to their wedding due to her appearance and not having the correct ‘look’.

Bethany did make the cut for Holly’s picture perfect Cotswolds hen do, with insiders claiming that she has been let into the Ramsay inner circle because the pretty blonde ‘fits in’ with their glamorous world.
A friend close to the family told The Sun last month: ‘Bethany has always been very close to Adam and she is really taken with the celebrity lifestyle, she’s had her head turned by all the glitz and glamour.
‘She was over the moon to be at the hen party, hanging out with Victoria Beckham and couldn’t wait to tell all her friends about it.
‘She really fits in with the glam world – she’s blonde and very pretty.’
Meanwhile speaking from the council house where Adam grew up, Caroline told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I’m not going to be hurt like this again’ and that she felt as if Holly and Adam ‘have cut my heart out’.
Also moments before he walked into the abbey clutching the hand of his five–year–old son George, Adam was sent a devastating text message by his aunt Louise, who was also not invited to the wedding.
In it, she wrote: ‘I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.
‘Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.’
