Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Peaty and girlfriend Eiri Munro have split.
Eiri, who shares two-year-old son with Adam, 27, took to her Instagram stories to announce the shock separation.
The mum penned: "The last three years have been so, so, amazing. Our little family have experienced so much laughter, love, and joy. You guys have been such a significant part of that.
"This next chapter of my life is surely going to be a difficult one. I would appreciate that people would refrain from commenting, speculating, or messaging. I have shared so much of my life, but for now, I am choosing privacy and I hope that you will all respect that."
Adam's now ex-girlfriend continued: "I appreciate you all so much and I'm so thankful for all the fun and opportunities you have given me. I am going to be taking a break from social media, so goodbye for now. Thank you so much for everything."
Olympic swimmer Adam, who was partnered with professional dancer Katya Jones on the BBC dance competition, also took to Instagram where he released a statement claiming that he 'let Eiri down'.
In his lengthy statement, Adam apologised to Eiri and George for 'letting them down'.
"Eiri and I have decided to go our separate ways," he began.
"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."
The former Strictly star went on: "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 well-being of our family at this difficult time so I ask that our privacy is respected and I won’t be saying anything further."
Adam and Eiri first met while they were both at Loughborough University – he trained in the pool and she studied art.
However, more specifically actually met on the online dating app Tinder.
After just two months of dating Eiri discovered she was pregnant, with the lovebirds announced the pregnancy news on social media in April 2020.
The pair welcomed their son George-Anderson Adetola Peaty in September 2020.
The Mirror has reached out to Adam's representatives for comment.
