The family of Adam Ramsay-Peaty are pleading with the swimmer to heal the rift with his estranged mother Caroline after his shock Commonwealth Games defeat, saying: ‘Please don’t hurt her any more.’
As the star bowed out of the event in Glasgow with no predicted gold medals he hinted issues behind-the-scenes were ‘taking it’s toll’ on him during training.
Now his loved ones are encouraging the star to mend the bitter rift with his parents Caroline and Mark after his remarks at the Commonwealth Games.
The ’emotional’ parents for the first time had to watch their son on TV at home after being banned from cheering him on poolside.
A family insider told the Daily Mail: ‘Adam blaming his family for his failure at the Commonwealth Games is not right.’
Our message is ‘Come home and talk to your mother. You know your mum will forgive you anything! Please don’t hurt her any more.’
‘You both need to heal. Even the public are turning against you. You have to be careful what you put out in the universe because it always comes back at you threefold.’
The source told the outlet: ‘We never thought you would treat your family the way you have. All we have done is love you and support you.’
Adam, 31, waved goodbye to the Games where he was supported only by his influencer wife Holly Ramsay and his team – with three medals.
He notched up two bronze in the individual 50m and 100m breaststroke, and finally a silver in the mixed 4x100m medley relay.
The three-time Olympic champion aims to get back to the top for Los Angeles 2028.
