It was double the celebration and double the love for Gordon Ramsay and his daughter Matilda “Tilly” Ramsay this week as the famous father-daughter duo rang in their joint birthdays with sweet family tributes and plenty of laughter. The celebrity chef, 57, and his youngest daughter, 22, who share the same birthday on November 8, were showered with affection from fans and family alike in a touching display that showcased their close bond.
Tilly, who has followed in her father’s culinary footsteps while also carving out her own career in television, took to Instagram to wish her dad a happy birthday with a series of never-before-seen photos and a heartfelt caption. “Happy birthday to my best friend, my role model, and the funniest person I know,” she wrote. “Love sharing this special day with you every year — wouldn’t have it any other way.”
The post featured several snapshots of the pair through the years — from Tilly’s childhood days in the Ramsay kitchen to recent family vacations — showing their shared sense of humor and unmistakable resemblance. Fans were quick to comment on how close the two appear, with one writing, “You and your dad are twins!” and another adding, “This is the sweetest relationship — pure joy!”
Ramsay, never one to miss a moment for sentiment (or mischief), responded with his own Instagram post later that day. “Happy Birthday, Tills! Couldn’t be prouder of you,” he wrote. “You’ve grown into the most incredible young woman — talented, kind, and far too cheeky for your own good. Love you loads.” The post included a smiling selfie of the two, with Ramsay flashing his signature grin and Tilly playfully rolling her eyes.
The father of six has long been vocal about how much his family means to him. Despite his notoriously fiery persona in the kitchen, Ramsay has often shown his softer side when it comes to his children — Megan, twins Holly and Jack, Tilly, Oscar, and baby Jesse. The Ramsay family has become a social media favorite, with Tilly frequently appearing in videos alongside her dad, either cooking, dancing, or playfully teasing him in their popular TikTok clips.
Fans also took notice of how youthful Ramsay looked in the birthday photos, joking that he seemed closer in age to his daughter than his late fifties. “You both look amazing!” one follower commented. “Happy birthday to the most iconic duo!”
In addition to family celebrations, the day reportedly included a small gathering at the Ramsays’ London home, complete with homemade cake and, of course, a culinary spread fit for one of the world’s most famous chefs.
For Ramsay, who continues to expand his restaurant empire and television career, and for Tilly, who’s quickly becoming a TV personality in her own right, the joint birthday celebration was a reminder of what matters most: family, laughter, and a bond that no amount of fame can replicate.
