Gordon Ramsay sets record straight over future family plans after becoming dad for sixth time in late 50s
Gordon Ramsay has opened up about his large family and set the record straight on whether he and his wife Tana will have any more children.
Ramsay and Tana “completed” their family of eight with six children, evenly split between boys and girls back in November 2023.
Their youngest son, Jesse James, now 15 months old, was a surprise addition to the family after they kept their pregnancy completely under wraps.
Announcing Jesse’s arrival on Instagram, the Kitchen Nightmares star shared a sweet image of the three of them and said: “One more bundle of love to the Ramsay brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls… Done.”
The couple welcomed their first-born Megan, 26, back in 1998 who was quickly joined by fraternal twins Holly and Jack, who are now 25.
Tilly, whose full name is Matilda, joined the family in 2001 and is now 23 – with Tana suffering a miscarriage in 2016 before welcoming Oscar in 2019.
Ramsay – known for his short temper when it comes to novice chefs – is quizzed on his growing family by Jonathan Ross during this weekend’s episode.
On Saturday night, Ross is joined by Ramsay, Danny Dyer, Vanessa Williams, Harris Dickinson and Keely Hodginson.
After being quizzed about his relationship with Adam Peaty – who is currently dating Ramsay’s daughter Holly – talk turned to the possibility of more babies joining the family.
When asked if he is finished having children, Ramsay laughs and says, “I’d like to think so, yes,” however it wasn’t a definite no.
As the family secretly prepared for the arrival of Jesse, Tana previously admitted as the most “nerve-wracking 9 months” of pregnancy.
Despite his famously fierce TV persona, Ramsay previously revealed a softer side when it comes to fatherhood.
Speaking to PEOPLE in September 2023, the chef acknowledged that his children have “brought the emotion” out of him.
“It’s funny, isn’t it? Because everyone thinks, ‘God, you must be an absolute ass to be at home with.’ [But] Tana’s super fierce, an ex-Montessori school teacher. So I’m the softie.
“I think everyone’s got a good and bad side in them. I’m just very good at highlighting the bad that turned into something incredible.”
His wife Tana offered a surprising insight into the celebrity chef’s character, saying: ”He is, believe it or not, incredibly sensitive – he’s a crier.”

During a 2024 appearance on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Tana revealed that Ramsay wasn’t present for their first four children’s births, with her mother providing support instead.
“He would’ve gotten all squeamish and probably fainted and all the attention would’ve been on him,” she explained.
