In a joyful and deeply personal announcement, Gordon Ramsay has revealed that his eldest son, Jack Ramsay, and his wife are expecting their first child — making the fiery chef a grandfather for the first time.
Gordon shared the happy news during an emotional interview this week, his voice cracking with pride as he spoke about the next chapter for the Ramsay family. “I’m going to be a grandad! Can you believe it?” he said with a rare, wide smile. “Jack and his wife just told us they’re having a baby. I’m over the moon. My boy is going to be a dad.”
Jack Ramsay, 27, the Royal Marines Commando who has always preferred to stay out of the spotlight, is set to become a father in late 2026. The news comes just months after Jack’s wedding earlier this year, which the family kept relatively private out of respect for his military career.
Gordon described the moment Jack and his wife broke the news to the family as “proper special.” “We were all together for Sunday lunch — the whole mad crew — when they told us,” he recalled. “Tana started crying, Tilly screamed with excitement, and little Oscar and Jesse were jumping around asking if they’re getting a new cousin to play with. It was chaos… but the best kind of chaos.”
The 59-year-old chef, known worldwide for his explosive temper on Hell’s Kitchen and MasterChef, admitted the announcement hit him harder than he expected. “I’ve spent my whole life shouting at people in kitchens, but hearing I’m going to be a grandad… that’s a different kind of feeling. It’s humbling. Jack’s going to be an incredible dad — disciplined, calm, and strong, just like he is in the Marines.”
Fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, loving the contrast between Gordon’s fiery TV persona and his soft, emotional family side. Many comments read: “Gordon as a grandad is something I never knew I needed 😂”, “From ‘IT’S RAW!’ to grandpa hugs — we love this era”, and “Jack staying low-key and building his own beautiful family is so wholesome.”
Gordon also opened up about how proud he is of Jack’s journey. From joining the Royal Marines at a young age to now starting his own family, Jack has carved out a life defined by quiet strength and dedication. “He’s always done things his own way,” Gordon said. “No cameras, no fuss. And now he’s going to be a father. I couldn’t be happier for him and his wife.”
The entire Ramsay family is buzzing with excitement. Holly (Jack’s twin) and her husband Adam Peaty are said to be thrilled at becoming aunt and uncle, while Tilly has already started planning “cousin adventures.” Even young Oscar has been asking daily when the baby will arrive so he can teach the newborn how to count in French.
While the family is keeping most details private — including the baby’s due date and gender — Gordon hinted that they plan to balance Jack’s desire for privacy with sharing small, meaningful moments when the time is right.
This announcement marks another beautiful milestone for the Ramsays in 2026. After Holly’s wedding last year and Jack’s marriage earlier this year, the family is now preparing to welcome its newest member — the first grandchild for Gordon and Tana.
Gordon ended the interview with a laugh, saying: “I’ve got six kids, restaurants all over the world, and now I’m going to be a grandad. Life is mental… but it’s fucking brilliant.”
Congratulations to Jack Ramsay and his wife on their exciting news. The Ramsay family is growing once again — and this time, the “new addition” might be the only one who never has to hear Gordon Ramsay shout “IT’S RAW!”
