How many children Gordon Ramsay has as he forgets two in awkward Netflix documentary moment
Gordon has let the cameras into his life in Being Gordon RamsayGordon Ramsay makes a huge blunder in his Netflix documentary when he forgets the number of children he has.
The TV chef, 59, drops the clanger during a video call in Being Gordon Ramsay, which is now available to watch on the streaming service.
Gordon is talking to his wife Tana, their daughter Holly and her now-husband Adam Peaty moments after they had got engaged.
The Kitchen Nightmares star says to Holly and Adam that he has received a message of congratulations from their showbiz friends, David and Victoria Beckham.
“I had a lovely message from David and Victoria,” he tells the newly-engaged couple.
“And David was winding me up about how expensive it is with daughters as opposed to sons, like he’s got with one daughter.
“We have three daughters and, um, one son!”
Gordon then does a double take and swears, as he remembers the correct number of children he has. Oops!
How many children does Gordon Ramsay have?
Gordon is actually two kids short when he makes his big faux pas in Being Gordon Ramsay. He forgot his youngest two…
Together with 51-year-old Tana, they have six children not four.
Gordon and Tana became parents for the first time in May 1998, when they welcomed their daughter Megan. Their eldest child is now 28 years old.
It was double bubble for their second shot at parenthood. Gordon and Tana had fraternal twins, Holly and Jack, the following year.
Tana gave birth to their son and daughter in December 1999. Holly – who has now married Adam – and Jack are 26 years old.
The couple weren’t done, despite how hectic it was at home. Two years later, Matilda was born. Matilda – known as Tilly – arrived in 2001.
Tilly is now 24, has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and is a keen cook, following in the footsteps of her dad.
Gordon and Tana then had a long gap before deciding their brood wasn’t big enough.
What is the age gap between Gordon eldest and youngest kids?
While there is just three years between Gordon and Tana’s eldest four children, the gap is vast between them and the youngest two.
Oscar came along in April 2019, making him now six years old. This means there is 18-year age gap between Oscar and Tilly.

Tana has previously spoken about how she suffered a devastating miscarriage before Oscar was born. The couple’s son, Rocky, was born when Tana was 20 weeks pregnant in June 2016.
Tana and Gordon completed their family in November 2023 when their youngest son, Jesse James, was born. He is two years old.
This means the age gap between eldest child Megan and youngest child Jesse is 26 years. Wow!
In Being Gordon Ramsay, Gordon and Tana talk about their decision to expand their family when Tilly was in her late teens.
Tana says to Gordon: “There was a very defining moment, wasn’t there? When Tilly was looking at uni and sort of getting everything in place, and you said to me, ‘The house is going to be really quiet’.”
Scoffing, Gordon replies: “Hold on, hold on! I said to you?”
Tana tells him: “Look at me. Was it both of our ideas? Was it me pushing it?”
Relenting, Gordon admits: “It was definitely a joint decision, yeah.”
