Summary
Caroline Peaty said on Instagram that she still loves and supports Adam "from afar," responding after he linked an ongoing family rift to his emotional 100m breaststroke bronze in Glasgow.
Adam Peaty, 31, broke down after his first Commonwealth Games appearance in 20 months, saying the feud had "taken its toll" and insisting the fallout was "no fault of my own."
Caroline also posted a message about forgiveness and said she had spoken publicly only at the start of the dispute, while adding that the family had moved past "nastiness" and "lies."
The estrangement dates to the run-up to Adam's December wedding, when his parents were effectively excluded; only his sister attended from his side of the family.
The episode has spilled beyond sport for Britain's most decorated breaststroker, whose comeback was meant to mark a return to racing but instead revived scrutiny of his family split.
