Does Adam Peaty have children?
In short, yes – Peaty has a son.
The Brit has a little boy George with his ex-partner Eirianedd Munro.
George, who could be seen in the stands in Paris, was born in 2020 and aged three.
Peaty and Munro met at Loughborough University but split up in 2022.
He is currently dating Holly Ramsay, the daughter of Gordon Ramsay.
What has Adam Peaty said about his son?
After the semi-final on Saturday night, the swimmer gave an emotional interview about George.
Peaty said: “Don’t even talk about my son, it makes me cry.
“He goes, ‘Daddy, are you the fastest boy?’
“That’s what he says, even if I haven’t seen him I guess.
“But you know, I guess I just want to be the fastest boy tomorrow.”
Peaty went on to win an incredible joint-silver in the final – losing out to Italian Nicolo Martineghi by just 0.02secs.
After the medal ceremony, Peaty then made a beeline for his family where he could be seen giving George a huge cuddle.
Peaty burst into more tears as he recalled hugging his son, admitting he had cried so much it “made me feel like I’ve been stung by a bee, my face is so swollen.”
The six-time Olympic medallist said: “George normally goes ‘daddy, are you the fastest boy?’ and I would’ve said ‘not today’.
“But he says ‘I love you Daddy’ And that’s all I care about.”
However, he revealed: “I had a curveball this morning with my throat and stuff.
“You can train eight years for something and not feel 100 per cent on a day. And 100 per cent costs you 0.02s and that’s just the way.
“But I don’t ever want that to be an excuse. That’s the cards I was dealt.
“I won’t be going home thinking about that, even if it feels like a hangover in the morning because of the emotions.
“Getting here was a big achievement. It’s not sad at all.
“When I touched the wall, I truly believed I’d got it but it wasn’t meant to be.
“If I’d won it would have been a fairytale ending. But I’m not defining this whole journey back, the last 14 months, by whether I got a medal or not.”
What did Adam Peaty say after winning silver at the Paris 2024 Olympics?
Following the race, Peaty said: “It’s been a very long way back and I look at the score there and you would never think in your wildest dream that it would be 59s to win it there.
“I executed as well as I could. It doesn’t matter what it says on the scoreboard because in my heart I know that I’ve won there.
“I’m not crying because I’ve come second, I’m crying because of how hard its been to get here.
“It’s incredibly hard to win it once, then to win it again, and then to win it again. Everything I’ve done to this point has happened for a reason, and I can still compete with the best in the world.
“In my heart I’ve won, and these are happy tears. I said to myself I’d give it my all every day and I’ve done that, so how can you not be happy?
“This is what the Olympics is about, and I was just one percent two percent out. I woke up this morning with something in my neck, but these are not excuses, it’s what athletes have to deal with.
“I’m a very religious man and I asked god just to show my heart and this is my heart, I couldn’t have done more.”
Peaty has a chance to add to his medal tally 4x100m medley and men’s 4x100m medley.
