- Hell’s Kitchen presenter Gordon Ramsay is one of the most famous celebrity chefs in the world – and he’s a family man too, sharing 5 kids with his wife, cookbook author Tana
- Megan works at a PR firm, Holly has her own podcast, Jack joined the Royal Marines; Tilly starred in her own cooking show, and Oscar already has almost 310,000 followers on Instagram at age 4
When Tana Ramsay met her future husband, Gordon Ramsay, she didn’t think much of him at first.
But he managed to change her mind and, almost 30 years after they married, they’re still going strong. The couple now has five children together: 24-year-old Megan, 23-year-old twins Holly and Jack, 21-year-old Tilly, and 4-year-old Oscar.
Cayetana “Tana” Elizabeth Hutcheson was in her early 20s – and engaged to someone else – when she met Gordon at a New Year’s Eve party in London, but she didn’t think much of him at first, she told The Guardian in 2008. However, they shared a mutual friend so bumped into each other again, and they started dating.
In 1996, when Gordon was 29 and Tana was 21, they got married in Chelsea, London.
After initially struggling to conceive and going through in vitro fertilisation, they welcomed their first child, Megan, in 1998. By 2001, their first four children had been born.
Speaking to The Herald in 2008, Tana said they were surprised by how quickly their family grew. “We knew we wanted a large family,” she said, “but for it to happen that close together is amazing. When I discovered I was expecting [our fourth child] Tilly I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, how am I going to manage?’ But you do.”
Tana, who initially trained as a teacher, is also accomplished in the kitchen and she’s published several cookbooks, including Tana’s Kitchen Secrets and Tana Ramsay’s Real Family Food.
