Adam Peaty’s ex girlfriend has reportedly called out his decision to change his surname after marrying Holly Ramsay.
The Olympic swimmer, 31, tied the knot with influencer Holly, 25, at Bath Abbey on Saturday, with the couple changing their surname to Ramsay Peaty.
According to sources, Adam’s ex – who he shares five-year-old son George with – thinks it is ‘hypocritical’.
Eirianedd Munroe, 27, is said to have found the surname change a blow after being rebuffed by Adam when she suggested George both their last names when he was born.
The former couple welcomed their son in 2020 and split in 2022, nine months after his stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
‘It feels a bit rich to Eiri that Adam has been quick to change his name but didn’t allow her the same right for their son,’ a source told The Sun.

Adam has wasted no time embracing his new family and has made a huge statement about his future family ties by changing his name on social media to Adam Ramsay Peaty
‘It appears Adam is being a bit hypocritical. Holly has been such a positive influence on Adam. They both dote on George. Eiri knows she is lucky that George has a stepmum like Holly.
‘Although she says Adam has double standards over changing his name, she can’t fault him as a dad.’
Daily Mail has contacted Adam and Holly’s representatives for comment.
An insider added to the publication while Adam’s parents might be upset about the surname change ‘it’s not intentional’ and the swimmer followed after his wife who wanted a double barrel surname.
They added: ‘This will feel like a massive slight to Caroline and (Adam’s dad) Mark but Adam just wants the circus to end.’
The change of names online comes days after the newlyweds tied the knot at Bath Abbey in front of 200 guests, which did not include his side of the family.
The only member of Adam’s family to attend their special day was his sister Bethany who was a bridesmaid – but it has been claimed his dad was offered a late invite.
The huge rift between the two families has become increasingly clear ever since Adam uninvited them from the day and his mother was left out of Holly’s hen.

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’ (pictured with his mother Caroline)
But despite their issues with the Peaty family, the couple have both opted to use the surname in their new double-barrelled moniker.
Adam’s 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.
The Peaty family were all uninvited from the nuptials, aside from Adam’s sister Beth who was a bridesmaid.
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 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.’
Sitting at home more than 130 miles away in Staffordshire, Adam’s 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.
Speaking from the council house where Adam grew up, the 59–year–old told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I’m not going to be hurt like this again’.
She had told Daily Mail that she felt as if Holly and Adam ‘have cut my heart out’.
This newspaper can also reveal that, moments before he walked into the abbey clutching the hand of his 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.’
The roots of this terrible family conflict go back to September 2024, when Adam and Holly snubbed wider members of the Peaty family by not inviting them to their engagement party.
Caroline, who spent years ferrying her son to early–morning training sessions, was also not invited to Holly’s glamorous hen do at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds last month, even though the bride’s mother, Tana Ramsay, and friends including Victoria Beckham, were at the extravagant bash.
