Gordon and Tana Ramsay, who married in 1996, always wanted a large family, she said in an interview in 2008.

Cayetana "Tana" Elizabeth Hutcheson was in her early 20s — and engaged to someone else — when she met Gordon Ramsay 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 fertilization, 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."

Born in 1998, their first daughter, Megan Jane Ramsay, does not have a public-facing career.

Megan Ramsay, 25, was the first in her family to graduate from college, her dad shared on Instagram when she graduated from Oxford Brookes University in June 2019.

"So proud of this young Lady," he wrote alongside photos of Megan in her cap and gown, adding, "hard work pays off !"

While she generally avoids the spotlight, Megan did appear on a 2021 episode of "Hell's Kitchen,"in which she celebrated her 21st birthday alongside her father.

And while she keeps a low profile, that didn't stop her father from publicly disparaging her boyfriend.

Speaking to Kelly Clarkson on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in January 2022, Ramsay said, "Megan's started seeing her ex-boyfriend again, his name is Byron. He was OK to begin with, a bit wet. You want a man to date your daughter and he was just a little bit pathetic."

But he can be a doting dad, too. On her 24th birthday in May 2022, he shared a photograph on Instagram showing the two together.

"Happy Birthday to this gorgeous lady," he captioned the photo. "Words can't describe enough how proud you make me feel every day."

In 2016, Tana miscarried a child, Rocky, five months into her pregnancy.

Tana has spoken publicly about the pregnancy loss she experienced in 2016, and she encouraged people to discuss the often taboo topic of miscarriage.

"I found it really hard when people would talk to me and not mention it because it was like it never happened," she told Metro in 2020.

In an October 2021 Instagram post,Tana wrote about her family's experience.

"If all had gone as we hoped yesterday 14/10/21 would have been our little boy Rocky's 5th birthday, the day he was due not the day he was actually born when he was too little to survive," she wrote.

"Not a day goes by when we don't think of him," she continued, "but, it wasn't meant to be."

Speaking on her husband's role during the hardship, Tana told Metro, "Gordon was amazing, and he's always been one to talk about everything, and he was very good at sort of talking it out of me and never making me feel that, 'Oh, you know, maybe we shouldn't talk about it.'"

In June 2023, she thanked her entire family in an Instagram post for their support throughout the hardship. "I couldn't do this without my family, you are all everything to me," she wrote.

In 2018, when they were 18, Holly and Jack ran the London Marathon to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital and in memory of Rocky, Hello! reported.

In January 2023, Gordon Ramsay suggested that Tana might be pregnant again. Metro later reported that he was joking.

While speaking to hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on the Heart Breakfast radio show on January 10, Ramsay seemed to admit that he and Tana were expecting another child.

Theakston asked the chef, "Gordon, you have five kids, right?"

"Last time I looked there was five, yes. I think there's one more on the way," Ramsay responded.

Holden asked, "What?"

"Seriously," Ramsay said.

However, Ramsay previously said that he and his wife were "contemplating" another child.

"She's not pregnant,but we are contemplating,"he told the Daily Mailof his wife in 2021.

"We discussed having another baby. I said it was a great idea. She said: 'Well, let's start planning.' So I'm like: 'Oh my god, just pause for two seconds. I'm going to be the oldest dad at school, what's going to happen on sports day?'

"But it's something we'd still consider, because it's been such a joy spending time with Oscar."

In his January 2023 Heart Breakfast interview, he seemed less certain.

"Tana would like another baby and I'm like, 'No, no, no, no,'" he said. "It's already hard enough thinking about when I go to take Oscar to school, 'Hey, what's your grandad's name?'"
