Adam Peaty arrived hand in hand with his adorable son George as he prepares to marry Holly Ramsay at Bath Abbey on Saturday.
The gold medalist, 30, arrived ahead of the ceremony appearing calm, cool and collected, wearing a smart black suit as he clung on to his five-year-old son, George’s hand.
George matched with his father in a black tuxedo fitted with a waistcoat and white flower pinned to his jacket as he grinned from ear to ear prior to the ceremony.
Adam shares George with his ex-girlfriend Eirianedd Munro. The former couple welcomed their son in 2020 before later splitting in 2022.
Meanwhile Holly, 25, looked the vision of perfection as she wore a white silk cover with a lace trim over her wedding dress.
Adam and George clearly have a close bond and last year the star revealed his son told him ‘I love you Daddy’ after his shock defeat at the Paris Olympics.

The Team GB star failed to defend his 100 metres breaststroke title as he lost to Italian underdog Nicolo Martinenghi by just 0.02sec.
Asked about his conversation with George after the race, the father-of-one said: ‘He normally goes, “Daddy, are you the fastest boy?” and I would have said, “Not today”. But he just said, “I love you Daddy”, and that’s all I care about.
‘When I hugged George, as soon as I saw his curly hair, I was gone, I was crying. I feel like I’ve been stung by a bee because I feel so swollen in my face because I’ve been crying so much.’
Meanwhile, as the celebrations prepared to get underway on Saturday it would have been hard to tell that Adam, and his soon-to-be-wife have been at the centre of a toxic family row that has captured the nation.
But 120 miles away, in Staffordshire, his mother Caroline, father Mark and wider family are sat at home ‘heartbroken’ as they will not be among the guests after they were reportedly barred from the wedding by the happy couple.
Caroline had reportedly planned to crash the wedding but has since decided against it explaining ‘It would be too sad’ and ‘don’t want to spoil his big day.’
Her change of heart came after she’d previously insisted: ‘I will be there, and I will watch from the street.’
However, her husband Mark dissuaded her from crashing the wedding, telling her it would be ‘too upsetting’ to be there.

Instead, the Peatys remain at their home in Uttoxeter – the same home from which Caroline used to ferry her son to and from his countless training sessions and competitions, before his Olympic success.
Meanwhile, at Kin House, the Wiltshire manor where the soon-to-be married couple’s reception is set to take place, security guards and dogs were spotted patrolling the grounds of the Georgian manor.
Wedding organisers put the finishing touches on the two brilliant rose flower arrangements outside Bath Abbey where her son will later be married to the love of his life and perhaps seal the point of no return for her relationship with him.
In attendance are the Ramsay clan and their close friends the Beckhams, though David and Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn has snubbed the wedding due to their own ongoing family feud.
Six weeks ago, Caroline revealed her hurt and bewilderment in the wake of an extraordinary family bust-up that had exploded into the public arena after Holly’s very glossy hen-do, to which she was not invited.
Photographs of the glamorous gathering, posted on Instagram, notably included the bride-to-be, her family and friends, Victoria Beckham, Adam’s sister Bethany, but not Caroline.
