Nov 23, 2023 by apost team

Time and time again, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has proved that he is a family man who embraces fatherhood without inhibitions. Ramsay’s stoic and no-nonsense TV personality ends in showbiz because his approach to fatherhood shows his softer side.

In November 2023, Gordon’s heart expanded to accommodate the birth of his sixth child with longtime spouse Tana Ramsay. The joyous parents took to social media to share their sweet baby news while welcoming the newborn into the family. 

It is safe to say that Gordon and his wife witnessed a heartwarming miracle in the form of their latest addition. This is because of the pain the couple endured when they lost a baby years ago. Gordon and Tana were parents to five children before welcoming their baby. 

The couple is not new to raising kids, but the loss they faced together helped them cherish their brood more. Back in 2016, the Hell’s Kitchen host took to social media, sadly announcing the loss of their baby at five months. Four years later, in 2020, Tana got the strength to revisit the painful loss after coming across cookbook author Chrissy Teigen’s post about losing her and John Legend’s third child, Jack. 

Tana praised Teigen while speaking with Metro, commending the model’s bravery. Tana shared, “I find it very emotional and I thought she was amazing. I don’t know the ins and outs, but certainly a lot of it sounded incredibly similar to mine.”

Gordon’s wife shared that seeing Teigen’s story reminded her of how she struggled to navigate the pain. Tana recalled how she struggled with her loss because no one would talk to her about it. 

The “MasterChef” star relayed that all she wanted to do was talk about her situation with her family and friends “because it was incredibly hard.” She added, “You go from having a baby kicking inside of you to suddenly it’s not there, and it was a really hard experience.”

Tana continued by explaining how her body prepared for the baby even after the miscarriage. She recalled: 

“I’d always breastfed all of my children, and then three days after it happened, I suddenly felt an aching in my chest and realized that it was my body getting ready to breastfeed, and there was no baby.”

Thankfully, the cookbook author had the unwavering support of her husband in those trying times. She described him as “amazing” while adding that he was willing to talk her through the pain. Tana added that Gordon never made her feel like she needed to stop talking about it. 

Gordon would later recount the story of how they lost their son, Rocky, during an exclusive with People in September 2023. The millionaire chef reflected:

“There’s no book that guides you through that loss, and so losing Rocky was really tough. Watching the trauma unfold, it’s this life-changing moment.”

Tana said about their baby boy, “Born with a strong heartbeat but too little to survive.” Gordon added that as they mourned the loss of their son, their family grew closer. The couple later named their Cornwall home after Rocky to honor his short but impactful life. Every member of the Ramsay family also owns a jewel dedicated to Rocky. 

Speaking about his wife, Gordon described her as “incredibly resilient” as she passed through the emotional period. He noted, “That’s the power of Tana,” he added. “Just watching the way that she dealt with it…she was incredible straight after that.”

In June 2023, Tana marked the seventh year after baby Rocky’s premature passing. She took to Instagram to share a family picture from their oldest daughter, Megan, on her 18th birthday while recalling that she was 20 weeks pregnant at the time.

With the birth of their sixth child, Tana and Gordon got another chance to bask in the joys of parenthood. Speaking with ET at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas, the TV star did not hold back on his sweet feelings. He gushed:

“Extraordinary. Really Extraordinary, just blessed. I’m also sure I’ll be the oldest dad at the drop-off at school, so I’ll keep my cap and glasses on.”

Earlier in November, Gordon celebrated the arrival of the new baby by sharing photos on Instagram. In one of the three snapshots he posted, Gordon cozied up to his smiling wife and their newborn at the hospital. In his delightful caption, the dad-of-six noted that their baby’s birth was “an amazing birthday present.” 

He also introduced the newborn with his name, Jesse James Ramsay. Gordon quipped, “...Welcome Jesse James Ramsay, 7lbs 10oz whopper!! One more bundle of love to the Ramsay brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls…. Done 👊🏼❤️❤️.” Tana made her own post, writing:

“It’s been a nerve wracking 9 months but we’ve made it and we have been blessed with this little bundle,” Tana shared in her caption. “Ramsay family definitely complete. Jesse James Ramsay we love you so much ❤️🙏🏼.”

With over 20,000 comments, fans joined the Ramsay family in celebrating. Many wished the couple well as they embarked on the journey of raising their bundle of joy.
