Meet Gordon Ramsay's wife, Tana Ramsay, a cookbook author, who is as passionate about cooking as her celebrity chef husband.
Gordon Ramsay is the man of the hour as his six-part docuseries, Being Gordon Ramsay, is streaming on Netflix. The show follows Ramsay’s ambitious journey to open one of the most challenging restaurant lines. Gordon's close ones, including his wife and most of his six children, appeared in the series. Amid the celebrity chef’s latest show, let us read on to know more about the woman who is his strength, his wife, Tana Ramsay.
It is true when Gordon once said that he found his sous chef for life in Tana Ramsay. The duo shares their love for food, and it is one of the most important things that keeps them glued to each other. Tana began her career as a Montessori teacher and soon turned into a food editor with Grazia magazine.
She then switched her career to become a cookbook author. She published her first cookbook, Tana Ramsay's Family Kitchen, in 2006, followed by several additional titles, including Tana's Kitchen Secrets in 2010 and I Love to Bake in 2011. In an interview with Toronto City News, Tana talked about her cooking and revealed her celebrity chef husband’s take on it. Speaking about the same, she said:
“I've never been trained as a chef. I take forever to chop an onion or a carrot compared to [Gordon], but it's my way of real family food. Our dishes are completely different, and it's the home cooking he wants when he's at home."
Apart from being a cookbook author, Tana is also an entrepreneur. She opened a salon, All About the Girl, in London in 2011. The salon offered a wide range of beauty treatments, which included massages, manicures and eyelash extensions. The whole idea behind opening a salon was to give customers everything under a single roof. After 12 years of managing the salon, Tana passed the ownership.
Tana and Gordon Ramsay have six kids, three boys and three girls. The couple first welcomed a daughter, Megan, in 1998, followed by twins, Holly and Jack, in 2000. In 2001, they welcomed a daughter again, Maltida. Years later, the couple welcomed their son, Oscar, in 2019. However, before giving birth to Oscar, Tana faced fertility issues and even had a miscarriage in 2016. In an interview with Metro, Tana spoke about her miscarriage and said:
“All I wanted to do was talk about it with friends, with family, with anyone who asked me about it because it was incredibly hard. You go from having a baby kicking inside of you to suddenly it's not there, and it was a really hard experience."
In 2023, Tana and Gordon welcomed their sixth child, a son, whom they named Jesse James Gordon. Tana and Gordon’s eldest child and youngest child have an age gap of 25 years. After Jesse’s birth, Gordon joked that they were done expanding their family.
Tana and Gordon had a very unconventional beginning to their love story. The duo met at a New Year's Eve party when Tana was in her early 20s. She was also engaged to someone else and formed a poor impression of Gordon after their first meeting. Tana shared a flat with a mutual friend of Gordon. One day, he stopped by to pick up his bike and met Tana. They connected well and soon started dating each other soon after. After a successful few years of dating, the couple finally tied the knot in 1996 and have been together ever since.
