Olympic swimmer and Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Peaty, 27, announced that he and his girlfriend, Eirianedd Munro, 24, have separated. 

Peaty and Munro, who were together for three years, share a two-year-old son named George.

Announcing the split on Instagram, Peaty said: “I could not ask for a greater mother for George and I am so grateful to Eiri for her amazing support over the past three years.

“Eiri and George, I’m sorry for letting you down.”

Speaking out about the split, Munro said: “The last three years have been so, so, amazing. Our little family have experienced so much laughter, love, and joy.”

But who is Adam Peaty’s ex-girlfriend, Eirianedd Munro?

Who is Eiri Munro?

Eirianedd Esther Munro, who also goes by Eiri, is a 24-year-old self-employed artist. She graduated from Loughborough University with a degree in fine art and specialises in oil painting.

Munro shares her work on Instagram on a dedicated art account, @emunroart, with most of her work focused on portraits of people as well as pets.

Eirianedd acknowledges the Welsh origin of her name (which means silver) in her Instagram bio, which reads “The name’s Welsh, the melanin’s Nigerian.”

She met swimmer Adam Peaty on Tinder when he was training at Loughborough University, where she was a student.

They announced their relationship on Instagram in early 2020 and soon after shared that they were expecting a baby. Their son, George, was born in September 2020.

Before announcing that she would be taking a break from social media, Munro would regularly share updates about her family on Instagram and YouTube.
