Adam Peaty changes name in big move days after wedding drama
Although name changes are common in the wake of a wedding, people didn't expect Adam Peaty to be the one changing his.
The swimming star, 31, appears to have adopted the Ramsay surname after tying the knot with influencer Holly over the weekend.
The couple, who first went public with their relationship in June 2023, got hitched in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey on Saturday (27 December).
Stars such as David and Victoria Beckham were in attendance, however, Adam's own parents didn't make the cut for the guest list.

He has been at odds with his family members in the run up to his big day, resulting in the majority of them missing out on watching him say 'I do'.
Adam's mother Caroline has since spoken out about how the ongoing rift has 'broken' her brood - although Gordon Ramsay reportedly thought the family feud was fair game in his father of the bride speech.
The celebrity chef is said to have made a brutal dig about the groom's strained relationship with his loved ones while congratulating the happy couple at their wedding reception, which took place at Kin House.
And in the latest dramatic development amid the messy family fallout, Adam has dramatically changed his name on social media.
Two days after getting hitched, the Olympian altered his Instagram handle - and it is now '@adamramsaypeaty'.
It appears to be another subtle sign that he is distancing himself from his loved ones following their extremely public spat.
The move will likely sting his mother Caroline, who revealed that she has been left devastated by the divide between her and her son.
Speaking to the Daily Mail about being snubbed from the Peaty-Ramsay wedding, she said: "I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.
"This is the first Christmas that I’ve not had my family together - my family is broken. Yes, I have my other grandchildren. Yes, I have my other children, but my family is split because of the goings on...because of the wedding."
She explained that she once raised concerns with his now-wife Holly that she felt her son had been pulling away from his family.
Recalling her estranged daughter-in-law's response, Caroline said: "I remember her words: 'You’ve got him back now, he’ll always be part of your family.'"
However, the mum claims this couldn't be further from the truth at the moment.
Detailing some of her interactions with the Ramsay family, Caroline said she had told both Holly and her mother, Tana, that she didn't feel included in the wedding prep.
But she claims that she did not receive a response after raising concerns - and went on to say that she can't believe how Adam has handled the situation.
"If this was my son treating Holly’s family like they are treating us, I would take him to task," Caroline said.
"Family has always been the centre of my life, so you can imagine the hurt this has caused me.
"I deserve to be there [at the wedding] as his mother, not because of what I’ve done for him - because that is what a mother does - but to stand proud and see her son married.
"He says I am playing the victim, but I don’t think my son knows me at all, he’s just making excuses not to be around us."
Despite the current tensions between them, Caroline said she wishes Adam and Holly all the best for married life and is hopeful for a reconciliation - as there is 'nothing she won't forgive' her son for.
