Adam Ramsay-Peaty has debuted his new name on his swimming cap at the Commonwealth Games as he hopes his new moniker will bring him luck in Glasgow.

The three-time Olympic swimming champion is using his full name for the first time to compete at a major championship after marrying TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly last December.

And it seems his pregnant wife Holly approves as she shared a snap to her Instagram Stories of Adam in the new swimming cap and wrote: 'So Special.'

He married Holly on December 27, 2025, in a lavish ceremony at the historic Bath Abbey and they announced her pregnancy in June.

Sadly his parents did not attend the wedding and are assumed to not be attending the Commonwealth Games amid a falling out and Adam remains estranged from them.

Adam won his first of four Commonwealth titles in Glasgow 12 years ago and he is looking to add to that tally this weekend in a major staging post before the LA 2028 Olympics.

Since competing professionally, the British star has four golds and three silvers from his previous three Commonwealth appearances.

In Glasgow, Adam could become the first Team England swimmer to win four consecutive gold medals – he will go in the 50m and 100m breaststroke races.

It comes after the athlete gave an insight into married life with pregnant Holly in a new interview with BBC Breakfast on Tuesday.

Talking about the Commonwealth Games, the Olympic champion said that becoming a father for a second time has made him 'grow up'.

He said: 'Our wedding was one of the best days of my life, watching Holly walk down the aisle, it's a view that I will never forget.

'It's like I've got a snapshot in my brain, the music and the church was just incredible. Having Gordon (Ramsay) as my father-in-law is an incredible blessing.

'I'm also expecting a baby little girl. While I'm incredibly excited, that role of being a father has been just incredible and to have another human in this world that loves and cherishes you is a blessing.'

He continued: 'My love isn't going to be judged by a medal.

'With Holly going through pregnancy, all I can pray for is her happiness and the health of her and the baby and for me, that does push me even more to grow up.'

Adam is father to a son George-Anderson, five, from his previous relationship with artist Eirianedd Munro.

An accompanying video which aired on BBC Breakfast featured Holly, Gordon and his son George but failed to mention his parents who dedicated their lives to his swimming career.

While Adam will be returning to the Commonwealth Games as one of the oldest members of the team, he admits he still has more he wants to achieve.

But his journey as a world record holder has come at a price and Adam admitted the sport had previously broken him.

He said: 'Not a lot of people know this, but around March time in 2023, I did three lengths of breaststroke as part of my warm up and on the last length, my goggles filled up with tears, I lost the love for everything that I live for.

'Sport is what I live and breathe, what I do every day and it's helped me enormously, but when that same sport breaks you and breaks you down and it's something you start to hate, it's an unimaginable pain that you have to rebuild yourself.

'But what I have put in there is balance, how can I do it for another, two, four, six years. For me, balance is going to be incredibly important.'

Adam's coach, Lisa Bates, was asked to sum Adam up in three words and she said: 'Always full on.'

She continued: 'It's his mindset, he has an ability to go into predator mode, he is able to read a race, know exactly what he needs to do, where his mindset needs to go but in terms of projection, his body is just the vessel when it comes to the race and it's his mindset that sets him apart.'

Adam added: 'I know I have a finite amount of sport left. This sport will break you if you do it for as long as I have. And I have been broken.'
