Peaty explained that his four-year-old son George, from his previous relationship with Eirianedd Munro, is a key motivation for continuing his career.
He also cited potential future children with Gordon Ramsay's daughter Holly as driving his Olympic ambitions.
"Do I see winning as a gold medal? Or do I see winning as not giving up and being a good role model for my son?" Peaty told the BBC.
