Gordon Ramsay Fainted at Son’s Birth While Ed Sheeran Played in the Background
<p data-start="246" data-end="462">Gordon Ramsay has sliced, diced, and screamed through kitchens for decades. But when it came to the birth of his son Oscar, the usually unshakable chef hit the floor—literally—as Ed Sheeran crooned in the background.</p>
<p data-start="464" data-end="660">It’s not every day you hear about a man fainting to the sound of “Thinking Out Loud,” but then again, this is Gordon Ramsay we’re talking about. The birth wasn’t just emotional—it was a spectacle.</p>
<h2 data-start="662" data-end="714">The Chef Who Missed Four Births, But Not This One</h2>
<p data-start="716" data-end="864">For the first four of his kids, Gordon was banned from the delivery room. And not in a mean-spirited way—his wife Tana simply didn’t want him there.</p>
<p data-start="866" data-end="974">“She said, ‘I want my mum and your mum in there, not you,’” Ramsay shared candidly on the SmartLess podcast.</p>
<p data-start="976" data-end="1175">So for Megan (now 26), twins Jack and Holly (25), and Matilda “Tilly” (23), the famous dad was kept safely on the other side of the curtain. No blood, no drama. Just phone calls, pacing, and updates.</p>
<p data-start="1177" data-end="1309">But for Oscar, now 6, things were different. It was a C-section, and Gordon was invited into the operating room. Big moment, right?</p>
<p data-start="1311" data-end="1325">He passed out.</p>
<p data-start="1311" data-end="1325"><a href="https://www.theibulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/gordon-ramsay-with-wife-tana-and-kids.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57725" src="https://www.theibulletin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/gordon-ramsay-with-wife-tana-and-kids.jpg" alt="gordon ramsay with wife tana and kids" width="937" height="620" /></a></p>
<h2 data-start="1327" data-end="1368">Sheeran, Screams, and Surgical Scenery</h2>
<p data-start="1370" data-end="1426">The scene sounds like something straight out of a drama.</p>
<p data-start="1428" data-end="1624">“Play Ed Sheeran,” Ramsay requested. Seemed innocent enough. Probably something soothing to calm the nerves. But when things got real—like really real—the music was just background noise to chaos.</p>
<p data-start="1626" data-end="1753">“There was blood everywhere,” Ramsay recalled. “I see two doctors dive in. They pop him out. I look down and—boom—I black out.”</p>
<p data-start="1755" data-end="1967">He collapsed, baby in arms, overwhelmed by what he called a “f****** idiot” moment. It wasn&#8217;t pain. It wasn’t pressure. It was the rush of it all: blood, surgeons, baby, and Ed Sheeran singing about forever love.</p>
<p data-start="2013" data-end="2207">It wasn’t a scene you&#8217;d expect to rattle someone who has yelled at undercooked risotto and raw scallops on national television. But Ramsay’s no different from the rest of us when life gets real.</p>
<h2 data-start="2209" data-end="2257">Now a Dad of Seven, But Still the Same Gordon</h2>
<p data-start="2259" data-end="2403">Since that unforgettable episode in the delivery room, Gordon’s family has grown again. In 2023, Tana gave birth to their youngest, Jesse James.</p>
<p data-start="2405" data-end="2573">So yes, at 58, Ramsay is now the father of seven. The split is interesting—four grown children and two little ones with more Peppa Pig than Gordon’s Kitchen Nightmares.</p>
<p data-start="2575" data-end="2702">“We had four amazing kids, and then… well, we got a bit crazy,” Ramsay joked on the podcast. And honestly? The age gap is huge.</p>
<ul data-start="2704" data-end="2950">
<li data-start="2704" data-end="2751">
<p data-start="2706" data-end="2751">Megan (26) is now a police officer in London.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2752" data-end="2792">
<p data-start="2754" data-end="2792">Jack (25) serves in the Royal Marines.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2793" data-end="2823">
<p data-start="2795" data-end="2823">Holly (25) works in fashion.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2824" data-end="2872">
<p data-start="2826" data-end="2872">Tilly (23) just returned from culinary school.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2873" data-end="2915">
<p data-start="2875" data-end="2915">Oscar (6) is already cheeky and curious.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2916" data-end="2950">
<p data-start="2918" data-end="2950">Jesse James is still in diapers.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2952" data-end="2982">This is not a quiet household.</p>
<h2 data-start="2984" data-end="3033">Tilly, the Chef Who Didn’t Want Dad’s Training</h2>
<p data-start="3035" data-end="3168">Out of all the kids, it’s Tilly who seems to be walking closest to Gordon’s culinary footsteps. But even that path has its own twist.</p>
<p data-start="3170" data-end="3397">Rather than train at one of her dad’s restaurants, Tilly chose to study at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. A place known for its focus on slow food and traditional Irish techniques. Not Michelin stars. Not Hell’s Kitchen.</p>
<p data-start="3399" data-end="3425">And yes, that stung a bit.</p>
<p data-start="3427" data-end="3514">“I’m a little bit miffed,” Gordon admitted. “She’s seen the shows, that’s the problem.”</p>
<p data-start="3516" data-end="3738">You can almost hear the smile behind the statement. There’s a clear affection. But also a dash of disappointment. After all, when your dad is Gordon Ramsay and you pick another school over his expertise, it says something.</p>
<h2 data-start="3740" data-end="3784">Gordon’s Values: Earn It, Don’t Expect It</h2>
<p data-start="3786" data-end="3931">One thing that comes through loud and clear: Gordon Ramsay doesn’t believe in handing his kids anything on a silver platter—even though he could.</p>
<p data-start="3933" data-end="4008">He’s always been vocal about instilling work ethic, grit, and independence.</p>
<p data-start="4010" data-end="4062">“They can’t depend on mum and dad,” he says, flatly.</p>
<p data-start="4064" data-end="4230">It’s not about being strict. It’s about being grounded. And in a world where celebrity kids often float through life, Gordon’s approach feels refreshingly old school.</p>
<p data-start="4232" data-end="4411">Even in how the kids grew up—joining him on filming trips, taking time off school, then heading right back into class. It was a weird, wonderful balancing act that somehow worked.</p>

<p data-start="4465" data-end="4580">Just to lay it all out clearly, here’s a quick snapshot of the Ramsay family tree and what each child is doing now:</p>

<p data-start="5452" data-end="5596">It’s hard to say where things go from here. But Gordon and Tana seem to be embracing round two of parenthood with a surprising amount of energy.</p>
<p data-start="5598" data-end="5759">The family spends time between London and Los Angeles. Oscar’s already showing signs of being a natural on camera. And Jesse? He’s still figuring out the basics.</p>
<p data-start="5761" data-end="5964">Meanwhile, Gordon’s still juggling restaurants, TV shoots, podcasts, and family dinners. His life might be split between Michelin-starred meals and baby bottles now—but he wouldn’t have it any other way.</p>
