Gordon Ramsay is known worldwide for his Michelin-starred restaurants, razor-sharp critiques, and unforgettable temper in the kitchen. But beyond the yelling, the signature Beef Wellington, and the TV cameras lies another side of the world-renowned chef: the family man. At home, he’s not the fiery host of Hell’s Kitchen or MasterChef—he’s simply “Dad” to six unique and talented children, each walking their own path in life. From a committed police officer to a rising social media star, the Ramsay kids prove that their family legacy extends far beyond food and fame.
The oldest of the Ramsay clan is Megan Jane Ramsay, born in 1998. Megan has always maintained a relatively low profile compared to her younger siblings. She attended Oxford Brookes University, where she studied psychology, and has worked with several well-known companies, including White Stuff and Gymshark. Megan is often described by Gordon as the most grounded and responsible of the bunch. She’s not interested in chasing fame or riding the coattails of her father’s success—she prefers to do things her own way, behind the scenes. While she may be the quietest, she’s widely seen as the glue that holds the family together.
Next up is Holly Anna Ramsay, born in 2000, and the twin sister of Jack. Holly started off in fashion school but found her calling in mental health advocacy. In 2021, she launched her podcast, 21 & Over, where she courageously shared her journey with PTSD, anxiety, and trauma following a difficult period in her teens. Her openness about therapy and mental wellness struck a chord with young listeners, and she has since become a prominent voice for destigmatizing mental health. With a strong social media presence, Holly blends influence with purpose, often choosing to speak out about the things that matter rather than chasing trends. Her bravery and resilience have made her one of the most inspiring members of the Ramsay family.
Then there’s Jack Scott Ramsay, Holly’s twin brother, who took an entirely different path. Though he dabbled in local theater productions during his teens and even considered a future in sports, Jack ultimately chose a more disciplined and noble route—joining the Royal Marines. Later, he entered the police force, opting for a life of service and integrity. Gordon has often shared his immense pride in Jack’s decision, calling it one of the proudest moments of his life when his son completed training. Jack may have grown up in a celebrity household, but his dedication to public service proves that he values purpose over publicity.
Of all Gordon’s children, perhaps the most publicly recognizable is Matilda “Tilly” Ramsay, born in 2001. Tilly has inherited her father’s love of cooking but with a Gen Z twist. She starred in her own BBC cooking show, Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, which mixed family fun with easy, kid-friendly recipes. Her natural charm and wit have made her a breakout star on social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube, where she shares everything from cooking tutorials to hilarious dad-daughter pranks featuring Gordon himself. In 2021, she joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing and quickly won over viewers with her charisma, dedication, and energy. Tilly brings out a softer, goofier side of Gordon that fans adore, and her rise as a digital personality proves she’s building her own empire—one post at a time.
The fifth Ramsay child is little Oscar, born in April 2019. Although he’s only a few years old, Oscar already has a fan base thanks to his appearances on his parents’ Instagram pages. With his golden curls, mischievous grin, and infectious personality, Oscar has quickly become the heart of the family. He even has his own Instagram account (managed by mom Tana) that documents his adventures—from pony rides and baking fails to beach days with his dad. Gordon has often joked that Oscar is the true boss of the household, and honestly, he might not be wrong. Despite being the youngest for a few years, Oscar already shows signs of being just as lively and charismatic as the rest of the Ramsays.
That changed in November 2023, when Gordon and Tana surprised the world with the arrival of their sixth child—Jesse James Ramsay. The news came as a shock to fans, especially since the couple kept the pregnancy a secret until the birth announcement. Baby Jesse was introduced via a sweet Instagram post featuring Gordon holding the newborn with pride and joy. At 57, Gordon expressed his excitement about being a father again, and Jesse’s arrival has only brought more warmth and chaos to the already bustling Ramsay household. While it’s too early to know if Jesse will follow in his siblings’ footsteps or forge an entirely new path, one thing’s for sure: he’s entered a family full of love, laughter, and ambition.
Despite being one of the most recognizable chefs on the planet, Gordon Ramsay has always prioritized raising humble, hard-working kids. He and Tana have made it clear that they don’t want their children to grow up entitled. Gordon has publicly stated that his fortune won’t simply be handed down and that his children will need to build their own success. He’s even made them fly economy while he sits in first class, just to keep them grounded. The Ramsay philosophy is clear: fame is fleeting, but character is forever.
