We’re used to seeing Gordon Ramsay yelling in high-pressure kitchens, throwing cutting remarks, and demanding culinary perfection. But every now and then, the world gets a glimpse of a much softer side of the world-renowned chef — and nothing brings that out more than his children. His latest video featuring baby Jesse, his youngest child, is proof that even the toughest personalities can be utterly melted by the innocence and joy of a newborn.
In a video that’s now making waves across social media, Gordon Ramsay shared an intimate, heartwarming moment with his newborn son Jesse James Ramsay, and fans can’t get enough. Swaddled in a cozy blanket and resting peacefully in his father’s arms, Jesse looks like something out of a baby ad campaign — beyond precious, angelic, and totally stealing the spotlight from his famous dad.
The video, originally posted to Ramsay’s Instagram, shows the MasterChef host gazing down at Jesse with the gentlest smile, softly speaking to his baby boy. “Say hello to the world, Jesse,” Gordon coos, his usually intense voice now calm, tender, and overflowing with love. Jesse, snug and wide-eyed, stares up at his dad with quiet curiosity. The short clip ends with a kiss on the forehead and a sleepy blink from Jesse that melted thousands of hearts instantly. Within minutes of being posted, the video garnered hundreds of thousands of likes, comments, and shares. Fans flooded the comment section with love, many marveling not only at Jesse’s adorable face but also at Ramsay’s clear adoration for his son.
Born in November 2023, Jesse is the sixth child of Gordon and Tana Ramsay. His arrival came as a complete surprise to fans, as the Ramsays had kept the pregnancy under wraps. When they finally shared the news, it was with a series of beautiful hospital photos showing Jesse in the arms of his proud parents — and a particularly touching photo of older brother Oscar meeting him for the first time. The family now includes three girls — Megan, 26, Holly, 24, and Matilda “Tilly,” 22 — and three boys — Jack, 24, Oscar, 4, and Jesse. In a caption announcing Jesse’s birth, Gordon wrote, “3 girls, 3 boys… Done.” And judging by the beaming smiles in every photo and video since, the Ramsays are embracing every moment of this new chapter.
While Ramsay’s older children have each had their moment in the spotlight — with Tilly gaining fame on Strictly Come Dancing and Oscar already being a viral sensation — Jesse is the newest star in the Ramsay family universe. His cherubic cheeks, expressive eyes, and calm demeanor have captured the attention of millions. “He’s already stealing scenes without saying a word,” a fan wrote on Twitter.
“Gordon’s soft side is the best side,” another added. Even celebrities chimed in, with fellow chefs and TV personalities congratulating Ramsay and praising the video for being the wholesome content the world needs right now.
