When Gordon Ramsay is not busy being a celebrity chef, restaurateur and TV personality, he is also a proud dad of six.
In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" in January 2024, Ramsay shared that having six kids was "the dream" he and his wife Tana Ramsay had when they first set out to start their family.
Ramsay also joked about when he might finally enjoy a day off.
"Honestly, the holidays is the worst time for any chef, because we go to the restaurant, it's super busy," he shared at the time. "You go back home. It's super busy. And the Ramsay household is like running a restaurant where no one goes home. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. 'Dad, can we have that prime rib tonight?' We just finished lunch! Can you give me a minute?!' You're never off, honestly."
Gordon Ramsay and Tana Ramsay are parents to Megan Ramsay, Holly Ramsay, Jack Scott Ramsay, Tilly Ramsay, Oscar Ramsay, and their youngest, Jesse James Ramsay.
Get to know the Ramsay family below.
Gordon and Tana Ramsay, a cookbook author and TV personality, married Dec. 21, 1996.
In an August 2024 birthday tribute on Instagram, Gordon Ramsay called his wife an "amazing woman," an "incredible" mother and wife, and last but not least, his "best friend."
The couple are parents of six, and in a September 2024 episode of the "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" podcast, Tana Ramsay said she always knew she wanted to be a mom and to have a big family.
"It was always how I envisaged my life, and luckily, Gordon felt the same," Tana Ramsay said. "I was only 18 when I met Gordon, but we very quickly both realized that was our dream ... to have a big family and be parents and enjoy life in that way."
The Ramsays welcomed their first child and first daughter Megan Ramsay on May 16, 1998.
In her recent "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" podcast interview, Tana Ramsay explained that she had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, and her husband had been told he had a low sperm count, so they turned to in vitro fertilization, or IVF, when they first set out to start their family.
Megan Ramsay now works as a police officer, as her father told People in September 2023.
Gordon Ramsay and Tana Ramsay welcomed twins Holly Ramsay and Jack Ramsay on Dec. 31, 1999, also through IVF.
"That was quite a party. They were very early. They were born just after 32 weeks," Tana Ramsay said on the "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" podcast, adding that she had her twins via cesarean section on "Millennium Eve."
Holly Ramsay is a content creator, and in September 2024, became the first of the Ramsay kids to get engaged.
"I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now," Holly Ramsay wrote in an Instagram post Sept. 12. "I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you. Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife."
"I promise to always be there with you and George, I'm so greatful to be in his life and I cannot wait for more," she added, referencing her fiance's son from a previous relationship. "Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here's to forever."
Gordon Ramsay also shared the happy news in an Instagram post Aug. 12, alongside photos of him hugging his daughter, a photo of her showing off her engagement ring, and a photo of Holly Ramsay with her fiance, English Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.
"Congratulations to this gorgeous girl @hollyramsayy….so happy for you and @adam_peaty!" Gordon Ramsay wrote in the caption at the time. "Hols, watching you become the woman you are today with your kindness and your love is absolutely infectious…Adam is a very lucky man! Welcome to the family ❤️ One down, two to go 😂."
Gordon and Tana Ramsay's first son is Jack Scott Ramsay. Jack Ramsay is the twin brother of Holly Anna Ramsay.
Gordon Ramsay shared in an October 2020 Instagram post that Jack Ramsay had joined the British Royal Marines.
"Can't tell you enough how proud I am of this young man Jack Ramsay you've made me feel like the proudest father today congrats on joining @royalmarines what amazing achievement," he wrote at the time.
