Gordon and Tana Ramsay’s strong love and support for each other throughout their 26-year marriage helped them stay strong even when something really sad happened. In 2016, Tana Ramsay sadly lost her baby when she was 20 weeks pregnant. She described their son, whom they named Rocky, as having a strong heartbeat but being too small to survive.
In this week’s PEOPLE magazine, Gordon Ramsay talked about how there is no guidebook to help you deal with such a loss, so losing Rocky was extremely hard for them. He mentioned that witnessing the pain and sadness was a moment that changed their lives forever.
He mentioned that going through this difficult experience actually brought their family closer together. Gordon and Tana Ramsay have five children in total: Megan, who is 25 years old. Twins Jack and Holly, who are 23, their 21-year-old daughter Matilda (known as “Tilly”), and their 4-year-old son Oscar.
They even named their home in Cornwall after Rocky, and everyone in the family wears a piece of jewelry with his name on it as a way to remember and honor him.
Tana marked 7 years since they lost their baby.
Gordon Ramsay expressed that they would not have their son Oscar if they had not gone through the loss of Rocky. While Oscar can not replace Rocky, their experience creates a unique bond that they would not have had in a typical situation.
In June, Tana shared a photo from seven years ago when she was pregnant, celebrating their daughter Meghan’s 18th birthday. In the caption, she mentioned that even though seven years have passed, the pain still feels fresh, and they miss Rocky every day.
She expressed their enduring love for him and how her family meant everything to her. Gordon Ramsay also praised his wife’s strength, describing her as incredibly resilient.
Ramsay extends all his thanks to Tana. Seeing how Tana coped with it, how she talked to her friends and other women who could give her advice, she was amazing right after it happened. Ramsay mentioned that their children draw a lot of strength from their mom. He credits Tana’s resilience and actions as the reason they are where they are today.
What is the secret to Tana and Ramsay’s enduring love and support?
Tana and Ramsay believe that their enduring love is because they talk to each other openly and spend time together, even if it is just a simple car ride. Ramsay mentioned that they have wonderful conversations during their weekend walks and hikes. Tana adds that while it may sound cliche, as long as you are friends and genuinely enjoy each other’s company, the relationship will stay strong.
Tana mentions that people often say, “It must be hard having to be apart so often due to our busy schedules,” and she agrees that it is challenging. However, she feels fortunate even after not seeing each other for a few weeks.
She gets excited, like those nervous butterflies in her stomach. She never wants to lose that feeling, even with the responsibility of taking care of their kids. Tana emphasizes that they have a lot of fun together.
Tana, who is now 49 years old, first met Gordon, who is 56, when she was just 18. This was long before any of their life-changing experiences occurred. They got married in 1996 and have been happily married for 26 years.
