Who is Eirianedd Munro and when did she split with Team GB Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty?
EIRIANEDD “Eiri” Munro is a Welsh artist who was once married to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.
The Olympian recently announced that he was engaged to TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly, sparking new interest in his previous relationship with Eiri. But who is the Welsh artist?
Who is Eirianedd Munro?
Eiri is an artist from Wales.
She has over 30,000 followers on her Instagram page where she posts sweet pictures of the son she shares with Adam Peaty.
Eiri also has a separate Instagram account where she posts her art, which has nearly 4,000 followers.
She says her art “aims to inspire new and progressive conversations about taboo subjects – such as mental health, nudity and identity – through the image of the physical body”.
Eiri graduated with a BA in Fine Art in 2021 from Loughborough University.
It has been reported that Eiri’s father, Tola Munro, is a police officer at Somerset Constabulary.
Her mother’s name is Llywela and she has two sisters, Carys and Abi, and a brother, Elliott.
When did Eirianedd Munro and Adam Peaty split up?
On August 23, 2022, swimmer Adam announced that he had split from Eiri.
Rumours of strain in the romance began to circulate after his appearance on Strictly in 2021.
Taking to Instagram, he wrote: “Eiri and I have decided to go our separate ways.
“We have enjoyed a wonderful three years together, 2 of those with our gorgeous son George.
“Our priority has always been to provide the happiest and healthiest home environment for him, and right now that means ending our romantic relationship.
“I could not ask for a greater mother for George and I am so grateful to Eiri for her amazing support over the last three years.
“Eiri and George, I’m sorry for letting you down.
“My only interest is for the wellbeing of our family at this difficult time so I ask that our privacy is respected and I won’t be saying anything further.”
Eiri opened up about their split earlier in 2024, and revealed she had moved on after breaking up with the star who has battled depression and alcoholism.
Adam has since started a relationship with Holly Ramsay – daughter of TV chef Gordon.
He even has an H tattoo on his chest, which is reportedly for Holly.
On September 21, 2024, Holly announced that she and Adam were engaged.
Her dad, TV chef Gordon Ramsay, shared his joy at the news on Instagram.
He said: “Hols, watching you become the woman you are today with your kindness and your love is absolutely infectious…Adam is a very lucky man!
“Welcome to the family, One down, two to go.”
Eiri welcomed Holly to the family, telling the MailOnline that Holly is “nothing but a positive presence in our lives”.
She went on to say: “She is so gentle and kind, I couldn’t wish for a better stepmother for my son.
“We’re so glad about the news and are wishing them the best.”
How many children do Eirianedd Munro and Adam Peaty have and how long were they together for?
Adam met Eiri in 2019 while training at Loughborough University, where she was also studying at the time, so they were together for three years.
The former couple share one son together named George-Anderson Adetola Peaty.
Adam announced the safe arrival of their baby boy in September 2020 in a picture captioned: “George-Anderson Adetola Peaty. 11/9/2020. 9lb 1oz.
“I’m so proud of you @eirimunro and I love you both incredibly.”
Despite the split, the pair have remained on good terms.
Eiri has posted pictures on social media of George cheering Adam on as he competed for another Olympic medal to add to his collection.
Peaty narrowly missed out on gold by 0.02 seconds in the 100m breaststroke.
He burst into tears as he recalled hugging his son George afterwards and admitted he had cried so much it felt like he was “stung by a bee”.
Peaty 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.”
