What’s up with these people

We only know what we read. We have no idea what has happened or who did what. Whatever happened, it is sad, as it is for any parent going through this, as some on GN are.

No idea what happened and it's their business. My family isn't perfect either.

We don’t know these people. We can’t possibly know the private dynamics that lead to family conflict, and every situation is its own.

I will say that I don’t think highly of anyone who goes to tabloids or identity-displaying social media to air their family’s dirty laundry. Adam’s aunt apparently did exactly that and his mother apparently has been posting passive aggressive things on social media, per the Mumsnet crowd. It’s one thing to vent privately or anonymously. It’s another to do so publicly and still expect to attend someone’s wedding after putting family business on display. The gall it takes to assume you’d be welcome on such an important day is actually breathtaking.

We don’t know, as others say, but it’s very sad.

Well, it is quite normal for parents to be at their children's weddings unless there has been an Estrangement which sadly seems to be the case here.
It does happen, often when a new woman enters a young man's life for various reasons.

Jealous bride? Jealous mother?

It's very sad but no, it's not our business.

It’s quite normal for families to also keep their problems off of social media for all to easily identify the people involved. I don’t think there is any relationship safe from dis-invitation under such circumstances. I’ve no clue and don’t care who started what, but not even a parent should expect to attend a wedding they intentionally brought negative public attention to. Such actions surely cause full estrangements.

I also cringe every time I see a woman being automatically blamed in these situations. Men are not mindless, feeling-less creatures whose relationships depend entirely on the women around them. It’s 2025; we can let that sexist drivel die now. Not a single one of us knows these people well enough to say the young men aren’t “at fault” here.

Only half a story.

Always dangerous.

Non of our business.

Can’t be bothered to get upset about other (especially rich kids) problems, it’s their business no idea who Adam Peaty is should I know him, is he famous ?

Am afraid estrangement is heart breaking, I can only hope this isn’t what it is and that a reconciliation isn’t far off.
They are Uber rich families living in a bubble so perhaps their reality is different to ours.
I hope so.

UK Olympic Gold Medalist in Swimming,

Adam Peaty was always very close to his gran, I don't know much about him but remember this when he had his incredible olympics.
I hope his Gran's going to his wedding.
Brooklyn is a bit different as his family were uber-famous & as the eldest he must've had problems with celebrity akin to that faced by the Royals, when he was a child.

Honestly it's all personal stuff, heaven knows why it's in the news only because the people involved court attention in the first place, no doubt there are publicists behind the scenes micro managing it all. It is possible to be a "personality" and not have one's private life, family dynamics and fall outs in the public domain Exacerbated by these individuals own hands, sending cryptic and at times vitriolic messages to each other via social media and curated for effect to keep the brand ongoing. They could adopt the radical notion of having these disagreements privately Read threads on here and MN to know sadly these situations are not unusual it happens to ordinary mortals too, and others have said, there are two sides to most situations and only the parties involved can know the whys and wherefores.

Yes!!
Bluebelle I thought you were a swimmer!

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ Adam's after you 😁

At least Adam Peaty has achieved something in his life. Brooklyn still seems to have no discernible career and has just gone from being kept by his parents to being kept by his wife. It's a bit late to decide he wants nothing to do with them.

Oh! Adam Peaty is marrying Gordon Ramsay's daughter.

We don't personally know any of these people or what has caused these estrangements. There is no point speculating.

From reports in the media, Holly invited everyone to her hen party apart from her future mother-in-law.
She also disapproved of Adam's mother's choice of wedding outfit and offered to buy her something else.

Mother looked after Adam's child from a previous relationship but has now allegedly been banned from seeing the child.

Mumsnet don't mince their words, some have labelled Holly Bridezilla.

You don't know that.

Do we know what goes on behind closed doors?
Is it anything to do with us?
Do we actually care?

I swim in the sea for fun but I don’t follow olympics or sport very much so never seen or heard of the guy

We have a daughter in law that we love, but she is very jealous of our relationship with our son. She is very bossy, dictating what I should wear for their wedding. The mother is intensely jealous of my husbands success. I think they are a lovely family, but rough around the edges. I too was left out of the hen party, all sorts of things. I don’t say anything because I want to see my granddaughter. I don’t want to fall out with them either.

Hen parties are supposed to be where the bride lets her hair down mostly with friends. I’m not sure why lately there is a trend of MILs or even mums attending or expecting to. I find it strange tbh. It never occurred to me to intrude on my DIL’s hen do, and we have a great relationship.
