Adam Peaty has opened up about his family rift and made one thing crystal clear. If there is ever a reconciliation, he wants real change first.
The Olympic swimmer spoke after a draining week at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He won two bronze medals and a silver, but he still left frustrated.
He admitted the week hit him hard. Adam said: “I couldn’t switch off because it’s been a real rollercoaster of a week.”
The 31-year-old now heads towards the European Championships in Paris. Beyond that, he still believes he can peak again for the LA Olympics in 2028.

Adam Peaty says forgiveness is possible, but not without change
Adam said his Christian faith shapes how he views the split with his family. But he also drew a firm line.
He said: “For me, as a Christian, there has to be forgiveness. It doesn’t mean you have to forget, but forgiveness takes time. I’m not saying that it won’t get better, but it has to come from a place where I feel like they’ve improved as people, in a sense, and opened that communication up.”
He also stressed that he has stayed quiet in public. He said: “I haven’t told one thing to the media. I haven’t done one story over the last eight months and more.”
