Now Adam's ex Eiri, who Adam shares his son George with, has broken her silence and shared her blessing for the couple, adding that Holly is a positive presence in their lives and she's happy for them.
Eirianedd, who went through heartache when she split from the triple Olympic gold medal swimmer after he appeared on TV's Strictly, told Daily Mail: "I'd like to take the opportunity to say how wonderful Holly is.
"She is nothing but a positive presence in our lives. 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."
Adam popping the question to Holly comes just weeks after Eiri couldn't contain her pride as the Olympian clinched a silver medal for Team GB in the men's 100 metres breaststroke final at the Paris Olympics.
Overwhelmed by emotion, the swimming champ shared after: "It's broken me, this sport, but it's also given me life."
Eiri - who Adam shares his son George with - turned to Instagram Stories early on Monday morning to share a heartfelt message to the father of her son: "Congratulations, Adam. George is so proud of you. He doesn't see the worth of a medal, but the absolute strength and determination that got you it."
She went on to share more touching words: "These are the qualities I pray he inherits. This moment will inspire him and drive him for the rest of his life. Thank you for giving him that."
Adam and his ex-partner became parents to George in 2020 after meeting at Loughborough University, the couple parted ways in 2022.
The former couple got together in 2019, but the spotlight came onto the relationship when Adam appeared to nearly kiss dance partner Katya Jones in front of millions of viewers at the end of a performance.
When asked if the show had played a part in her split from Adam during a later interview with The Sun, Eiri replied: "It was definitely the beginning of the end.”
It comes as Holly announced the couple's engagement with three pictures showing off the stunning gold ring from Adam. The post also showed off Adam's tattoo in honour of Holly with an 'h' inked on his neck.
Holly was recently spotted in Paris cheering Adam on whilst holding his four-year-old son, George, who he shares with his previous partner.
Adam and Holly first met in 2021, but didn't start dating until two years later in 2023. Adam met Holly through her sister Tilly, who competed on Strictly Come Dancing at the same time as him.
