Gordon and his wife Tana Ramsay share six children together. They welcomed Holly and her twin brother Jack on December 31, 1999, through IVF. But as far as twins go, Holly and Jack couldn’t be more opposite.

Holly, the first of the Ramsay bunch to get engaged, has a strong social media presence with nearly 400,000 followers on Instagram at the time of writing, where she likes to share her outfits and day-to-day activities.

Meanwhile, her fraternal twin brother Jack Scott Ramsay is a military man who largely avoids the spotlight.

Here’s everything we know about Gordon Ramsay’s elusive son, James Scott Ramsay.

Holly and Jack were born seven weeks early. In a heartfelt Instagram post in December 2020, their mother Tana Ramsay recounted the challenges she faced as a parent with premature babies.

“The development of a premature baby is incredibly nerve-racking when it is an uncertain start and you want to see them grow and thrive, yet not wish away the first moments,” she recounted in an Instagram post. “Seeing them become little chubby, healthy babies within the first year was a true blessing, and I will always be grateful for the determination they showed and their feisty characters,” she added.

While Jack prefers to stay out of the limelight, he once appeared in four episodes of the 2019 British docuseries Born Famous. The show sends celebrity offspring to see how their parents used to live before finding fame and success; the celeb kids spend a week in the communities their parents grew up in. On the show, Jack spent one week in Bretch Hill, Oxfordshire, where his father lived as a teenager.

Jack’s also appeared alongside his father in Hell’s Kitchen and on his younger sister Matilda’s cooking show, Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch.

In a joint video interview with his father for British GQ in 2019, Jack shared some of the valuable lessons he learned from the senior Ramsay. Among the key takeaways was the importance of the “work hard, play hard” mentality.

“Sometimes I think you work hard, maybe too hard sometimes,” he says in the video. “But we have quality time together. We go for drives and we play sports. It’s that balance that I find you always 100 per cent get.”
