The escalating family feud between Olympic champion Adam Peaty and his relatives has taken another turn, with sources close to his former partner, Eirianedd Munro, revealing her reaction to the ongoing drama.
Ex-Partner's Quiet Life Away from the Spotlight
Eiri Munro, a 27-year-old former influencer and art student, has deliberately stepped away from public life since her split from the gold medallist swimmer in August 2022. The couple, who met on Tinder and went public on New Year's Eve 2020, share a five-year-old son, George. Munro now lives a quiet life in Wales with her son, focusing on her art and family, and posts on social media only once a year for George's birthday.
A source close to Munro claims she is 'shocked' by the current situation but wants to remain completely separate from the conflict. "She has George living with her and has done an incredible job at raising him. She's an amazing mum," the source stated. "It's a far cry from Adam's life with Holly Ramsay, but she's really happy."
A Close Bond with the Peaty Family
Despite the acrimony between Peaty and his mother, Caroline, Munro is thought to maintain a good relationship with her former mother-in-law. The source emphasised that Caroline remains a significant figure in her grandson's life. "Caroline is of course still a big part of George's life and spends lots of time with him. If Eiri is busy and Adam away, she often steps in to look after him, like she did at the weekend for Holly's hen night in the Cotswolds."
This support network was in action recently when Caroline looked after George while the swimmer's fiancée, Holly Ramsay, celebrated her hen party at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, an event attended by close family friend Victoria Beckham. Notably, Caroline was reportedly banned from the wedding festivities.
Wedding Joy Overshadowed by Family Strife and Security Scares
Adam Peaty, 30, who went public with his romance with influencer Holly Ramsay, 25, in June 2023, is preparing to marry her this Christmas. However, the lead-up to the wedding has been marred by tension. The situation intensified when Peaty was escorted from a plane by armed police upon returning from his stag do in Bucharest. This followed sinister threats that he would be physically attacked upon landing, prompting his fiancée to alert the police.
The family dispute became more public when Caroline's sister, Louise, posted emotionally on social media, claiming her sister had been 'banned' from the hen do and was left 'broken'. Throughout this turmoil, the source confirms that Munro holds no ill will. "Eiri would never speak badly of Adam – he has provided for their son and helped ensure he has a very comfortable life. She is also a big fan of Holly."
Ultimately, while Eiri Munro is 'shocked' by the feud, her priority remains her son and her peaceful life in Wales, steadfastly avoiding any involvement in the public family row.
