Adam Peaty has given thanks to Jesus in his first social media post since marrying Holly Ramsay and taking her surname.
Peaty, a devout Christian, exchanged vows with Gordon Ramsay's influencer daughter at Bath Cathedral on December 27 following an explosive family row that resulted in the Olympian barring his own mother from the service.
Returning to social media on New Year's Eve - his wife's 26th birthday - Peaty, 31, appeared to be unaffected by the turmoil surrounding their big day as he credited Christ for a rather eventful 12 months.
'It's the last day of 2025. Thank you Jesus for everything this year,' read his message, emblazoned across a serene image of gulls soaring above an ocean.
After winning two gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Peaty explained how he underwent 'three years of hell' battling depression, alcoholism and the separation from the mother of his child.
However after taking a break from the sport, the Olympian attributed his newfound Christian faith as the key that saved him during the dark time.

Raised a Catholic, the swimmer actively describes himself as a 'religious man' after joining an Evangelical Church, where he attends almost every Sunday.
His return to religion, which ultimately helped his recovery and return to swimming, came after he met five-time Olympic chaplain Ashley Null, who helped put his identity as an athlete into perspective after he lost his once unbeatable streak.
But Peaty's family have insisted the star isn't following his Christian beliefs by shunning his family from their wedding celebrations and accused him of sending his mother Caroline outfit options because he 'didn't approve of her choices'.
The huge rift between Peaty's family and Ramsay's parents has become increasingly clear ever since he uninvited his mother from the wedding following a dispute that began when Caroline was snubbed from her daughter-in-law's hen-do.
