Gordon Ramsay kids: How many children does he have and who are they?
The Ramsays are a big bunch
The chef and television star has a large brood at home - here's what you need to know about Gordon Ramsay's kids.
Straight talking, grumpy and partial to an expletive word at times - Future Food Stars host Gordon certainly has a reputation in a televised kitchen. But when it comes to his kids, it's safe to say that the award-winning chef is a bit of a softie.
Many may be familiar with Gordon's daughter Tilly Ramsay who competed in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2021. But Tilly has a number of brothers and sisters that many may be unaware of. The family extended most recently in 2019, with the arrival of baby Oscar, who often gets a shout out on his parents' social media. A proud and doting dad - who has a strict set of Ramsay parenting rules - we delve into more detail about his family life and Gordon Ramsay's kids.
How many children does Gordon Ramsay have?
Gordon Ramsay shares five children with his wife Tana - three daughters and two sons. His eldest child is 25-year-old daughter Megan and youngest is son Oscar, aged four. Gordon is also dad to fraternal twins Jack and Holly, both 23, and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tilly, 21.
Gordon and Tana have been married since 1996 and celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary in December 2022. Tana - also a chef - commemorated the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram post. Tagging her children in the post, she shared how she felt "so blessed and so lucky to share my life with you, thank you for everything".

In January 2023, Gordon spoke about how the couple have talked about the prospect of more children. "Tana would like another baby and I’m like no, no, no, no," he told Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden on their Heart Breakfast radio show.
"It's already hard enough thinking about when I go to take Oscar to school, 'Hey, what's your grandad's name?'"

2. Holly Ramsay
Holly is a 23-year-old fashion student, model, and social media influencer. She studies fashion design at London's Ravensbourne University, "with a dream of getting her work on the runway" one day. She is also signed to Est Models and has shared some stunning headshots of herself on social media.
In December 2022, Holly took to Instagram to share her sober status with her 320,000 followers. "Today marks two years since I last had alcohol. Two years ago today I hit rock bottom, I was terrified," read the statement. She thanked her family and friends for their support throughout her journey.
It seems Holly and dad Gordon have a joint love for motor racing. Both have taken to Instagram to share snaps of them at several Formula 1 races.

3. Jack Ramsay
Jack is Gordon Ramsay's eldest son and a fraternal twins with Holly. Like older sister Megan, he too largely stays out of the spotlight. In October 2020, he joined the Royal Marines after studying at Exeter University.
Jack doesn't have a social media account, but his mum and dad often pay tribute to him on their Instagram accounts. It seems he's close with his younger brother Oscar, with Tana sharing a sweet photo of the two hugging each other in a swimming pool in May 2022. "This photo says it all, back together and a happy happy moment x brothers x," read the caption.

Matilda Ramsay - better known as Tilly - is Gordon and Tana Ramsay's youngest daughter. And fun fact - she shares a birthday with her dad, also being born on November 8.
Tilly has shown an interest in her father's career and a shared passion for cooking. Before joining the 2021 line-up of Strictly Come Dancing, the 20-year-old presented cooking show Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch on CBBC alongside her family. Tilly has also made guest appearances on several of her father’s TV shows and starred on the celebrity version of Masterchef Australia.

Tilly is quite the social media star. She has 1.2 million followers on Instagram and much to many fan's delight, shares videos of herself often pranking her famous dad on TikTok.

5. Oscar Ramsay
Oscar is the baby of the bunch, with Gordon and Tana welcoming the three-year-old back in April 2019. The blue-eyed, blonde haired boy has featured heavily on his parents' social media pages, and in fact he's proven so popular that sister Tilly and Holly have launched an Instagram page for Oscar.
@oscarjramsay has 310,000 followers and certainly seems a natural on camera. This bodes well, with Gordon having high hopes that Oscar will follow in his footsteps and become a chef.
For Valentine's Day in 2023, the youngster shared a cute message with his Instagram followers, signing off with a kiss.
And he's just started his first day of school, with Gordon sharing an adorable snap of the youngster in his uniform.
