Gordon Ramsay Reveals He 'Blacked Out' When Holding Son Oscar Just After Wife Tana Gave Birth

The celebrity chef admits that he "blacked out" while holding their son after seeing all the blood on the ground
Ramsay shares his six kids with wife TanaGordon Ramsay's wife kicked him out of the delivery room for their first four kids — and it might've been for good reason.
The British celebrity chef, 58, appeared on a June 9 episode of the Smartless podcast and was asked by co-host Sean Hayes about missing the birth of his first four kids. Ramsay explained that it was actually his wife Tana's choice to not have him in the delivery room and shared that he'd actually attempted to be there when they welcomed son Oscar.
"Hold on, you're going to get me into s--- here. Let's make one thing absolutely clear, okay? My wife didn't want me in there," Ramsay shared. "She said, 'First of all, I want my mom and your mom in here. You're not going to f------ see me in that state. Okay. That side of the curtain — get out of there."

"So that was her decision, I had to respect that decision," he continued. "And then when I did finally arrive in the theater for our fifth baby, I f------ collapsed like a wimp and I blacked out holding Oscar in the air," he shared.
Asked by co-host Will Arnett if it was a caesarean section (C-section), Ramsay confirms that it was.
"I said, 'Can you play Ed Sheeran?' So they started playing Ed. 'But can you turn up the volume? I can hear all these noises. Turn up the volume,'" Ramsay remembered. "And all of a sudden, I saw two more doctors dive in. I looked on the floor and there was blood everywhere."
"And all of a sudden, they popped him out and then they came straight over to me," he said. "I went, 'Whoa, whoa whoa. S---!' Yeah and then I sat back and I collapsed like a f------ idiot."
Ramsay and his longtime wife Tana became parents in 1998 after welcoming their eldest daughter, Megan Ramsay, 26. Their brood grew to a family of six with the birth of fraternal twins, daughter Holly Anna Ramsay and son Jack Scott Ramsay, 25, in 1999; Matilda Ramsay, 23, who affectionately goes by Tilly, in 2001; son Oscar James Ramsay, 6, in 2019 (after experiencing a miscarriage in 2016); and son Jesse James in 2023.
Back in May, Ramsay appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark and shared that his wife has hopes of expanding their family again.
"So you took like a break in the middle, so you were like overwhelmed, and then, just when things calm down, you were like 'Let's do it again,' " host Kelly Ripa joked to Ramsay, who replied that it was all his wife Tana Ramsay's idea.
He smiled brightly as he pointed to his wife, revealing that the mom of six is interested in expanding her family once more. "Tana wants one more!" he said.
