Gordon Ramsay has 6 kids with his wife, Tana. Meet the celebrity chef's big family.

Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Tana, have six children together. The chef shares a peek at his family life in his new Netflix show "Being Gordon Ramsay."

  • Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Tana, have been married since 1996.
  • The couple has six children together — Megan, Holly, Jack, Tilly, Oscar, and Jesse.
  • Ramsay offered a peek into his family life in his new Netflix docuseries, "Being Gordon Ramsay."

Gordon Ramsay may be famous for his foul-mouthed persona on TV, but behind the scenes, he's a proud father of six.

The Michelin-starred chef has been married to cookbook author Cayetana "Tana" Ramsay since 1996. Together, they have three sons and three daughters, including Holly Ramsay, who was walked down the aisle by her father at her star-studded wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty in December. Naturally, Ramsay designed the menu.

Ramsay shared a glimpse of his family life in his six-episode Netflix series "Being Gordon Ramsay," which premiered on Wednesday.

Here's everything you need to know about the celebrity chef's wife and kids.

Gordon and Tana Ramsay, who married in 1996, always wanted a large family.

Cayetana "Tana" Elizabeth Hutcheson was in her early 20s — and engaged to someone else — when she met Gordon Ramsay at a New Year's Eve party in London, but she didn't think much of him at first, she told The Guardian in 2008. However, they shared a mutual friend and, after bumping into each other again, started dating.

In 1996, when Gordon was 29 and Tana was 21, they got married in Chelsea, London.

After initially struggling to conceive and going through in vitro fertilization, they welcomed their first child, Megan, in 1998. By 2001, their first four children had been born.

Speaking to The Herald in 2008, Tana said they were surprised by how quickly their family grew.

"We knew we wanted a large family," she said, "but for it to happen that close together is amazing. When I discovered I was expecting [our fourth child] Tilly, I remember thinking, 'Oh my God, how am I going to manage?' But you do."

Tana, who initially trained as a teacher, is also accomplished in the kitchen. She's published several cookbooks, including "Tana's Kitchen Secrets" and "Tana Ramsay's Real Family Food."

Born in 1998, their first daughter, Megan Jane Ramsay, does not have a public-facing career.

Megan Ramsay, 27, was the first in her family to graduate from college, her dad shared on Instagram at the time. She earned a degree from Oxford Brookes University in June 2019.

"So proud of this young Lady," he wrote alongside photos of Megan in her cap and gown, adding, "hard work pays off!"

While she generally avoids the spotlight, Megan did appear on a 2021 episode of "Hell's Kitchen" to celebrate her 21st birthday alongside her father.

And while she keeps a low profile, that didn't stop Ramsay from publicly disparaging her boyfriend.

During a January 2022 appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Ramsay said Megan's ex-boyfriend, Byron, was "a bit wet."

"You want a man to date your daughter, and he was just a little bit pathetic," he added.

But the Michelin-starred chef can be a doting dad, too. On Megan's 24th birthday in May 2022, he shared a photograph on Instagram showing the two together.

"Happy Birthday to this gorgeous lady," he captioned the photo. "Words can't describe enough how proud you make me feel every day."

Twins Holly and Jack Ramsay, born in December 1999, are now 26 years old.

On December 31, 1999, Holly Anna Ramsay and Jack Scott Ramsay were born. They arrived seven weeks early, according to Hello! magazine.

In an Instagram post in December 2020, Tana recalled her struggles as a mother to premature twins.

"Seeing them become little chubby, healthy babies within the first year was a true blessing and I will always be grateful for the determination they showed and their feisty characters," she wrote.

Today, the twins have a close relationship, but their professional interests differ.

Holly Ramsay has worked as a producer and model.

Holly Ramsay is a mental health advocate, podcast and documentary producer, influencer, and model. She has over 500,000 followers on Instagram.

In 2021, Holly launched the podcast "21 & Over" and opened up about her mental health journey, disclosing that she is a survivor of sexual assault.

"I went to university, studied fashion design, and I loved it. But by the second half of the first year I was being affected by my PTSD and I had no idea that this was happening," she said of the aftermath.

On December 27, 2025, Holly married Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty. She changed into her mother's 1996 wedding gown for their first dance.

During an interview with Vogue, Holly said her father would get emotional every time she talked about the wedding.

"The other day I was asking him which car he and I would take to the church, and he welled up immediately," she recalled.

Holly's twin, Jack, has stayed far from the entertainment space, opting for a career in the military.

Jack is the athlete of the Ramsay family. According to People, he has played rugby and water polo, and he's studied jiu-jitsu.

In 2020, Jack joined the Royal Marines. Ramsay publicized his son's accomplishment in an Instagram post at the time.

"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.

A year prior, Ramsay celebrated his son finishing the famous Ironman Triathlon.

"Jack Ramsay you are an IronMan 19yrs old what took you so long! Congrats on an amazing achievement," the proud dad wrote on Instagram.

Matilda "Tilly" Ramsay, born in 2001, has embraced the spotlight.

In 2015, Matilda, also known as Tilly, began starring in "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch," a children's cooking show on the BBC. Tilly later created a corresponding book, "Matilda & The Ramsay Bunch: Tilly's Kitchen Takeover."

Beyond her cooking show, Tilly has made her fair share of TV appearances, including as a contestant on "Strictly Come Dancing" and Australia's "MasterChef." In 2024, she graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Nottingham.

Tilly frequently shares cooking videos on her TikTok, where she has nearly 10 million followers. She also hosted her own cooking show, "Dish It Out," which premiered on Amazon in 2025.

In 2016, Tana miscarried a child, Rocky, five months into her pregnancy.

Tana has spoken publicly about the pregnancy loss she experienced in 2016, and she encouraged people to discuss the often taboo topic of miscarriage.

"I found it really hard when people would talk to me and not mention it because it was like it never happened," she told Metro in 2020.

In an October 2021 Instagram post, Tana wrote about her family's experience.

"If all had gone as we hoped yesterday 14/10/21 would have been our little boy Rocky's 5th birthday, the day he was due not the day he was actually born when he was too little to survive," she wrote.

"Not a day goes by when we don't think of him," she continued, "but, it wasn't meant to be."

Speaking on her husband's role during the hardship, Tana told Metro, "Gordon was amazing, and he's always been one to talk about everything, and he was very good at sort of talking it out of me and never making me feel that, 'Oh, you know, maybe we shouldn't talk about it.'"

In June 2023, she thanked her entire family in an Instagram post for their support throughout the hardship. "I couldn't do this without my family, you are all everything to me," she wrote.

In 2018, when they were 18, Holly and Jack ran the London Marathon to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital and in memory of Rocky, Hello! reported.

In April 2019, the Ramsays welcomed their son Oscar.

<script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

Ramsay once told Jimmy Fallon during a January 2021 interview that Oscar was his "last hope" of getting any of his children into the cooking industry.

The Ramsays grew into a family of eight in November 2023 with the arrival of Jesse James Ramsay.

Ramsay announced the birth via Instagram on November 11, 2023, by sharing a post showing his wife in the delivery room with their newborn son, Jesse James Ramsay.

In the caption, Ramsay confirmed that Jesse James would be their last child, writing: "3 boys, 3 girls.... Done."

Ramsay had told the Daily Mail in 2021 that he and Tana were contemplating having one more child.

"I said it was a great idea. She said: 'Well, let's start planning.' So I'm like: 'Oh my god, just pause for two seconds. I'm going to be the oldest dad at school, what's going to happen on sports day?'" Ramsay said.

"But it's something we'd still consider, because it's been such a joy spending time with Oscar," he added.
