Gordon Ramsay may be known for his fiery temper in the kitchen, but when it comes to his children’s dating lives, he takes a more calculated approach. In a rare comment about his parenting style, the celebrity chef admitted that he has his own ways of keeping an eye on his kids when they go on dates—without them even realizing it.
Ramsay, who shares five children with his wife Tana, has often joked about being a protective father. However, in a recent interview, he revealed that he prefers a more subtle method when it comes to monitoring his kids’ romantic lives. Rather than outright interrogating their dates, he cleverly keeps tabs by casually showing up at the same restaurants or relying on his network of chef friends to report back if one of his children happens to be dining out.
Fans weren’t surprised to hear that Ramsay has a strategic way of staying informed, considering his sharp attention to detail both in and out of the kitchen. While his kids—Megan, Holly, Jack, Tilly, and little Oscar—may roll their eyes at his protective instincts, it’s clear that the renowned chef has their best interests at heart.
Although Ramsay insists he’s not overly strict, he admits he enjoys playfully intimidating potential suitors. With his reputation and sharp wit, it’s safe to say that dating one of his children comes with a bit of added pressure!
